Last Winter
Lucky 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Past midnight we stared at the moonlight.
Kissed and wrote these words in the fallen snow.
I will, I'll be yours, today, forever.
And I will never let you down,
but seasons always change and last winter's gone.
How can I let you know I'll never let you go.
Remember when I'd hold you.
And I'm strong but where has your love gone.
Two broken hearts too weary to fight.
So let me make do and I wont forget you.
This poem now a million pieces on the floor.
Cause seasons always change and last winter's gone.
How can I let you know.
How can I let you go like I've done before.
And now you're gone.
I guess I'm finding out last winter's gone.
In Lucky 7's song "Last Winter," the lyrics tell a story of a memory that haunts the singer as they dream of a late December encounter with someone they love. The imagery of staring at the moonlight and writing in the fallen snow creates a picture of a peaceful, intimate moment shared by the singer and their love interest. However, the lyrics also suggest that the relationship has ended, as the seasons have changed and last winter is gone. The singer expresses regret over not being able to make their love feel right, and acknowledges that both hearts are too broken to fight. The poem that was once written with love is now shattered into a million pieces on the floor, and the singer is left wondering how to let go of their love without forgetting it entirely.
The emotional weight of the lyrics is amplified by the use of repetition and symbolism. The phrase "seasons always change and last winter's gone" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the inevitability of change and loss. The fallen snow and shattered poem serve as symbols of the fragility of love and how easily it can be lost. The use of past tense in describing the encounter with the love interest creates a sense of nostalgia and longing, as the singer wishes they could return to that moment.

this song sounds much like old school Ataris, "San Dimas High School....."
I could be wrong.... when I was a kid I missed the similarity.

Yea. I feel like it's a blatant ripoff. I would love to see both poor musicians battle it out in court
