Snowflakes
Guardin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're in your bed all alone
It's alright i'm doing okay
And in my mind you're in the doorway
Now that i'm back in my zone
I smoke till my seams come unsewn
You could not take this away from me
You could not take this away from me
Sit in my bedroom alone
I did this shit all in one take
You could not touch what i'm on mate
Steady your breathing it's cold
And your eyes are made out of coal
Crying but your tears are snowflakes
And this car that's comin' got no breaks
I've been livin' my life to the fullest
Anxiety comes but it won't sit
Got tossed in the bag but it won't zip
Cause i killed my mind all in one hit
Blast to the past & i feel it
The days we put stars on our ceilings
The tape on my hearts always peeling
And i do not find that appealing
So maybe i
Contemplate strategize ways to ease my mind
Sit awake and i bake all through the night
Touch base with your face being close to mine
And maybe you
Can't sleep cause your dreams never seem to soothe
So you spark in the dark tryna make your move
Touch me & i fall but i play it cool
(Lost in your embrace and i'm longing for your taste love
Said we'd runaway but you hardly ever say much)
Now that i'm back on the road
You're in your bed all alone
It's alright i'm doing okay
And in my mind you're in the doorway
Now that i'm back in my zone
I smoke till my seams come unsewn
You could not take this away from me
You could not take this away from me
Work so damn hard on my own
Sit in my bedroom alone
I did this shit all in one take
You could not touch what i'm on mate
Steady your breathing it's cold
And your eyes are made out of coal
Crying but your tears are snowflakes
And this car that's comin' got no breaks
The song "Snowflakes" by Guardin tells the story of two individuals who are physically separated from each other but still connected in their thoughts. The singer is on the road and living his best life, smoking and feeling invincible, but he still thinks of his love interest who is alone in bed. He reassures her that he is doing well and she is with him in his thoughts. The lyrics speak to the idea of being lost in one's own world but still longing for a connection with someone else.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Now that I'm back on the road, you're in your bed all alone. It's alright, I'm doing okay, and in my mind you're in the doorway." The repetition of these lines highlights the idea of two people being separated but still connected in thought, even if they are physically distant from each other. The singer acknowledges that he is in his own zone and nobody could take that away from him, but he still longs for a connection with his love interest. The verse "Work so damn hard on my own, sit in my bedroom alone" speaks to the theme of loneliness and the struggle to achieve one's dreams, but the singer finds solace in the fact that he did it all in one take, and nobody can touch what he's on.
Overall, "Snowflakes" is a poignant song that speaks to the idea of being physically separated from someone you love but still feeling connected to them in your thoughts. The lyrics highlight the struggle to achieve one's dreams and the sense of loneliness that often comes with it, but finding solace in the fact that one has succeeded on their own terms.
