Kotipelto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They keep on coming haunt me till I die
No use in going somewhere to hide
The beauty of life has it been a lie?
So many opinions, it's so hard to see
Sometimes I don't know what's wrong or right
Mist fills the ground below, the moon's leading me
All that I have seen on my journeys
Have gone away lost in the maze
I shut my eyes and dismiss what I see
My dreams torn apart they decay in my memories
Everything I see is white haze
It is all around like a nightmare
I've been snowbound
The lyrics in "Snowbound" by Kotipelto indicate the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from one's own thoughts and emotions. The words "All that I feel now the things inside, They keep on coming haunt me till I die" express the idea that the singer is overwhelmed with internal struggles and is unable to find comfort or escape from them. The line "No use in going somewhere to hide, The beauty of life has it been a lie?" underscores the feeling of helplessness and questioning of the purpose and meaning of existence.
In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the uncertainties of life and the difficulty of distinguishing right from wrong amidst a vast array of opinions. The use of "Mist fills the ground below, the moon's leading me, And I'll find my way through the darkest night" speaks to the idea of hope and perseverance through difficult times.
The chorus of "Snowbound" laments the loss of the singer's experiences, which have faded away into a haze. The line "My dreams torn apart they decay in my memories" expresses the feeling of loss and sadness that comes with losing something once cherished.
Overall, "Snowbound" is a melancholic and emotional song about the difficulties of life, grappling with internal struggles, and the feeling of being stuck, unable to escape the bleakness that surrounds us.
