Snow
Jennifer Trynin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just may have to get my shovel from the shed
Or maybe I'll make me an angel instead
Think I just may up and dig
A great big hole in my head
If it snows for one more day
I just may up and roll my life
Putting two of everything
In my car
And dream of driving away
Someplace far
And I'd be singing yey, yey yey, yeah
Yey, yey, yey
Yey, yey, yey
Hey, yey, yey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yey
In Jennifer Trynin's song, "Snow," the singer wrestles with the seemingly endless winter season. She contemplates shoveling the snow or making a snow angel instead, but ultimately decides to "up and dig a great big hole" in her head. This line can be interpreted in a few different ways, but it seems to convey a sense of frustration and exhaustion with the winter weather. The next verse finds the singer imagining herself driving away from the snow-covered yard, putting "two of everything" in her car to escape the monotony. The repetition of "yey, yey, yey" and "yeah, yeah, yeah" adds to the dreamy, almost hypnotic quality of the song.

If it snows for one more day
If the snowfall continues for another day
I just may have to get my shovel from the shed
I may have to take my shovel out from the shed to clear the snow
Or maybe I'll make me an angel instead
Alternatively, I might even build a snow angel
Think I just may up and dig
I might even be in a mood to dig a huge hole
A great big hole in my head
Or I might end up daydreaming and feeling empty-headed
I just may up and roll my life
I might be in a mood to roll my life out like a ball
Around the yard
All around the yard
Putting two of everything
Collecting two of each thing
In my car
And stuffing them all in my car
And dream of driving away
And then I would simply dream of driving away somewhere far
Someplace far
A distant place
And I'd be singing yey, yey yey, yeah
I would also be singing with joy, expressing sheer gratification
Yey, yey, yey
Expressing joy and happiness
Hey, yey, yey, yeah
An expression of enthusiasm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Another way of saying yes, agreeing happily
Hey, yey
An expression of delight
