Early Winter
Gwen Stefani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
And you, you always have a reason
Again and again this feelin'
Why do I give in?
And I always was, always was one for cryin'
The sun's getting cold; it's snowin'
Looks like an early winter
For us
Looks like an early winter
For us
An early winter
Oh, I need you to turn me over
It's said the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you
And I always was, always was one for cryin'
I always was one for tears
No, I never was, I never was one for lyin'
You lied to me all these years
The sun's getting cold; it's snowin'
Looks like an early winter
For us
Looks like an early winter
For us
An early winter
Oh, I need you to turn me over
Why? Why do you act so stupid?
Why? You know that I'm always right
It looks like an early winter
For us
It hurts, and I can't remember sunlight
An early winter
For us
The leaves are changing color
For us
(It gets too much, it gets so much)
Starting over and over, and over again
(It gets too much, it gets so much)
Starting over and over, and over again
(It gets too much, it gets so much)
Well, it looks like an early winter
For us
(It gets too much, it gets so much)
It looks like an early winter
For us
The lyrics to Gwen Stefani's song Early Winter depict a relationship that is ending or has ended. Gwen talks about how she feels so low after being with this person and how her heart had a crash when they spoke. She also admits that she always had a weakness for crying and tears, and that this person gives her that feeling over and over again, but she still gives in. She seems to feel like she's trapped in this relationship that she can't seem to fix, no matter how hard she tries.
The chorus talks about how the sun is getting cold and it's snowing, which is a metaphor for her relationship - it's getting cold and it seems like it's ending. She says that she needs this person to turn her over, to make things right, but it seems like it's too late. She then asks why this person is acting so stupid when they both know she's always right, which indicates that there has been some disagreement or argument between them. The song ends on a note of starting over again, but it seems like it's too much for Gwen and she can't remember the sunlight.

@VerdadeiroAdorador
Realmente a voz dela é linda, e isso é DOM DE DEUS.
A cada um neste mundo, Deus repartiu dons, você também tem um, só não sei qual.
Também passei por isso e te afirmo que isso é ataque espiritual.
Eu também passei por síndrome do pânico, devido a perseguições, humilhações (bullyings) que eu sofria na escola e em toda a minha adolescência, até que um dia me acheguei ao Refúgio (CRISTO), e ELE MESMO me respondeu, me explicou o PORQUÊ eu estava sofrendo todos esses ataques: Porque havia dons que Deus havia me dado e uma missão pra FAZER aqui neste mundo em PROL DO REINO CELESTIAL DELE, ou seja, ENVOLVIA ALMAS, como a sua por exemplo, por isso eu estava sofrendo tantos ataques, pois o meu inimigo espiritual (os demônios) usavam essas pessoas aqui na terra pra me afligir e até mesmo me matar diversas vezes (também tive muitos livramentos de morte e homicídio que tentavam contra minha vida).
Eu também já passei por aqueles momentos de vozes e pensamentos na minha mente, me incitando ao suicídio e acabar com a minha vida, porém, nessa época eu já tinha experiências espirituais e pude distinguir que os pensamentos não vinham de mim mesmo, mas de seres malignos ou (demônios)!!! SÉRIO, AMIGO, jamais iria mentir pra você!!!
E quando isso acontecia, eu os repreendia e e clamava pelo sangue de Cristo e esses pensamentos desapareciam e a presença maligna e opressora que eu sentia, também!!
Sentia diversas vezes o meu corpo arrepiar, e inclusive, já avistei com os meus próprios olhos (porque DEUS ME ABRIU A VISÃO ESPIRITUAL), um espírito maligno bem atrás da janela do meu quarto e apontando a mão esquerda pra mim, mas quando ele via que meus olhos tinham sido abertos, aquela coisa horrível fugia depressa!
Eu vi!!
Era amarronzado e enegrecido, era alto de estatura e musculoso.
Aquela coisa que eu vi quando acordei e abri meus olhos, ficou cerca de um tempo com aquele braço estendido na direção da minha mente.
Deus te abençoe e te livre de todo mal, meu amigo, não te conheço, mas posso dizer que vou orar por sua vida a partir de hoje, Rhuan Di Lima .
A paz do Senhor Jesus Cristo.

I always wondered why this song wasn't huge for her. I think it's one of the best songs on that album.
@andrea92XD
This shit made me bawl. After my girlfriend dumped me because of my infidelity, I heard this song 2 weeks later and I broke down like a baby. Gwen's music can really hit you in the soft spot.

I wondered that too. It's my favorite song of hers. I'm still obsessed with this video after all this time.
