Wintersong
Jeremy Larson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You arrived
The splinter of a love that wouldn't die
Made a snow bed to sleep

You survived
When the bitter cold of winter came inside
Turned to ice
Shattered all (?)

What I've done
Oh God, What have I done
Cause I don't know
It's lost to me
It's gone in you
Shattered bones, now you are underneath my skin
While you are over me

Now my dear
The shadow flees from underneath your feet
And your song has captured all your enemies

Now my love
Everything that moves is
Singing out your name
Oh my love
All the beauty of the seasons
Calling you out

You can hear
The melody and song in everything
It's singing out loud and clear

It's not so bad
It's not so bad

Now my dear
The shadow flees from underneath your feet
And your song has captured all your enemies

Now my love
Everything that moves is
Singing out your name
Oh my love




All the beauty of the seasons
Calling you out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jeremy Larson's song "Wintersong" contain vivid imagery of the singer's emotional turmoil after a past relationship.

As the song progresses, the bitterness and pain intensify with the metaphor of winter cold turning to ice and shattering something significant. The repetition of "What I've done, oh God, what have I done" suggests regret and self-blame for the relationship's failure. The line "shattered bones, now you are underneath my skin while you are over me" could imply that despite the singer trying to move on, their memories and feelings of the past are still haunting them.


The second half of "Wintersong" takes a turn towards a hopeful and optimistic tone. The shadows fleeing from underneath the person's feet and their song capturing enemies could represent the person healing and overcoming their past pain. The imagery of "everything that moves is singing out your name" and "the beauty of the seasons calling you out" could be interpreted as a newfound appreciation for life and the beauty it has to offer.
