Winter
Happy Families Lyrics

The lyrics to Happy Families' "Winter" seem to be about the singer's feelings of being stuck in a place that's falling apart and feeling trapped while the rest of the world seems to be moving on without them. The mention of hearing trains going by and wondering where they're going creates a sense of longing and a desire for escape. The repetition of the lines about brick walls shaking and the wind blowing create a sense of claustrophobia and oppression, as though the singer is trapped in a place that's slowly crumbling around them.

The chorus of the song talks about the singer's fear of who they'll become as winter sets in. They worry that they'll become someone they don't want to be, someone who's not free or wild. They want to be the kind of person they imagine themselves to be, the kind of woman who's independent and free-spirited.

The theme of winter seems to be used as a metaphor for the singer's feelings of isolation and stagnation. While the rest of the world is moving forward, the singer feels trapped in a never-ending cold and dark season. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song creates a haunting and introspective mood, as though the singer is struggling to come to terms with their fears and their sense of being stuck.
