Winter
Life is Better Blonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hanging there, dormant

How you wait and stay boarded up



Acting so cornered
Hate the way you so caught up



How'd you get like this?

How'd you get like that?

Cos my life's sorted



They all smile while I expire.



I escaped my my my old life

My life's sorted

And my smile is sorted

And my while is worth it

And my why's rewarded



There's more to life than wasting all my time





What do I do?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Winter" by Life is Better Blonde explore themes of isolation and escape from an oppressive past. The opening lines "Hanging there, dormant/How you wait and stay boarded up" suggest a sense of confinement, with the subject of the song trapped in a state of inactivity - possibly a reference to the winter season itself as a time of hibernation or stasis. The following lines "Acting so cornered/Hate the way you so caught up" further reinforce this sense of feeling trapped, with the subject of the song seemingly unable to break free from their circumstances.


The chorus of the song provides some contrast to the verses, with the repeated lines "How'd you get like this?/ How'd you get like that?/Cos my life's sorted" suggesting that the subject of the song has managed to find a way out of their previous situation, and has "sorted" their life out. However, the final line "They all smile while I expire" suggests a sense of bitterness towards those who may have contributed to the subject's previous situation, who now seem content to watch them struggle.


The second verse of the song further explores the theme of escape and personal transformation, with the lines "I escaped my my my old life/My life's sorted/And my smile is sorted/And my while is worth it/And my why's rewarded" suggesting that the subject has successfully broken free from their previous circumstances and is now able to live a fulfilling life. The final line of the song asks a rhetorical question, "What do I do?", suggesting that the subject is still searching for some kind of purpose or direction in their new life.

Lyrics found on LIBB's FB page:

This late we start escaping
My mind a mess I'm making
This space a silent stalemate
Watch me waste my life away.

This late we start escaping
Compliantly complacent
All my years and yesterdays
Watch me say that I believe -

I never set fires that last in you
I never shone lights that lead you through
I never set fires that last in you
Do you feel the same?
I feel the same.

We start
Make up the time
Make it back home
Made up this mind that's not my own
I'll never leave here
Believe me.



Adriana Lesma

Give you time, all my waking hours
Give me mine, sunny space and tyres
They're mine

We're not the same, arms and hands and ends
Same mistake, are these day time friends?
They're mine

You're mine
You're mine
You're mine mine

This late we start escaping
My mind a mess I'm making
This space a silent stalemate

Watch me waste my life away.

This late we start escaping
Compliantly complacent
All my years and yesterdays
Watch me say that I believe -

I never set fires that last in you
I never shone lights that lead you through
I never set fires that last in you
Do you feel the same?
I feel the same.

We start
Make up the time
Make it back home
Made up this mind that's not my own
I'll never leave here
Believe me.
