Sometimes in Winter
Eldritch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't try, can't understand
Leve me in my world
I know my god is cold
Can't stand the heat, never had much fun
Here it comes my winter sun
You can't see it bright
My only winter, you keep my
Desires alive
My endless winter, confine me
Inside your light
In this garden of Eden I live again
Reassured by hope from my fallings born
Walking on my illusions I breathe the end
How many flowers will die
Got a soul forever doomed to escape
Wandering through a landless path
Rain on my better self
A rose will bloom from my ashes
My only winter, you keep my
Desires alive
My endless winter, confine me
Inside your light
My only winter, you keep my
Desires alive
My endless winter, confine me
Inside your light
In this river my nightmares scatter and drown
I fell free in this higher ground
Swimming in my ilusions, lost in the dark
Where the sky shines black for my eyes

Line by Line Meaning
Now my eyes start to smile again
I am beginning to feel happy and joyful once more
You can't try, can't understand
You are unable to attempt and fail to comprehend my situation
Leve me in my world
Allow me to be in my own world
I know my god is cold
I am aware that my higher power is distant and unfeeling
Can't stand the heat, never had much fun
I cannot handle the pressure and have never found enjoyment in it
Here it comes my winter sun
My source of light and warmth is like the sun in wintertime
You can't see it bright
It is not visible to others as a radiant light
In my own feelings he rises
I experience an emotional ascent within myself
My only winter, you keep my desires alive
My continuous winter, you keep my wants and passions alive
My endless winter, confine me inside your light
My prolonged winter, trap me within your illumination
In this garden of Eden I live again
I find myself born anew in this renewed paradise
Reassured by hope from my fallings born
My past errors have instilled me with hope and consolation
Walking on my illusions I breathe the end
I live in self-deception and am awaiting the inevitable end
How many flowers will die
I wonder how many others will perish in this bleak landscape
Got a soul forever doomed to escape
My soul is fated to never find relief or refuge from my suffering
Wandering through a landless path
I am aimlessly searching through an empty and barren course
Rain on my better self
My true, superior self is being dragged down and hindered
A rose will bloom from my ashes
My remains will eventually give rise to beauty and new growth
In this river my nightmares scatter and drown
In this body of water, my terrifying dreams disperse and perish
I fell free in this higher ground
I am liberated and weightless in this elevated state of being
Swimming in my ilusions, lost in the dark
I am immersed in my delusions and confused in the absence of light
Where the sky shines black for my eyes
The sky appears dark and cheerless to me
