Winter
Lil Xtra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wine is not for drinking
I thought I'd found my home
Don't know what I was thinking
Summer came and went now
I made it through the fall
You were everything I wanted
Now I want nothing all
And now winter sits upon me
And I can't wait till spring
The pain will not subside
But oh, the joy the sun might bring
And perhaps I will see you
I really hope I don't
Cause you said you'd always be there
But we both know that you won't
Cut my hair and change my name
And tell me "now you look the part
Won't you do just as I tell you until
I can't tell you apart
Why can't you just be perfect
Can't you just fix what's inside
Yeah You said you won't forget me
I can see how hard
See how hard you've tried
In Lil Xtra's song Winter, the lyrics describe the feelings of heartbreak that the artist has experienced with someone special. The opening line "She says with eyes of stone, the wine is not for drinking" talks about how the person he was with has become cold and distant, and no longer wants to share a drink with him. He then adds "I thought I'd found my home, don't know what I was thinking" indicating he believed he had found someone special, but now realizes that it was not what he expected.
The verse then transitions into the seasons changing, with summer coming and going and him making it through the fall. He thought that the person he was with was everything that he wanted, but now he wants nothing at all. Winter has arrived, and he is hoping for the joy that spring might bring, even though the pain from heartbreak will still be there. He hopes to see her but knows deep down that it won't happen, even though she promised to always be there for him.
The chorus talks about how the person he was with wanted him to change, cut his hair and change his name so that he could become what she wanted him to be. She wanted him to fix what was inside, to be perfect. She said she won't forget him, but he knows that she already has.
