Snow
Matt Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Covers everything, all the inbetween
It cloaks the glow, the sight prestine
Hides the dirt beneath, faint trainquility
()
Singing, Oh
Such a perfecdt world
Singing, Oh
I wrap myself in garments white,
But no one can see the true heart of me
My nakedness clothed by my pride
Oh how it makes me weak, to cover scars so deep
(Chrous)
Singing, Oh
Such a perfect world
Yeah
Singing, oh
Such a peaceful world, or so it seems
Yeah
I cant live a life so cold
Alone, I grow too old
To cover up the darker parts of me
How I long to become clean
Let this winter turn to spring
To feel your warmth
To see signs of life again
Let it melt away
Let them melt away
There will come a day
When we sing, oh
Such a perfect world
Singing, oh
What a peaceful world
That's been redeemed
Singing, oh
Such a peaceful world, or so it seems
End.
In the song "Snow" by Matt Wright, he uses imagery of snowfall to represent a sense of purity and perfection that hides the imperfections beneath the surface. The first verse talks about how snowfall covers everything and hides the dirt beneath it. The snow makes everything seem peaceful and serene, but it's only a temporary facade. The lyrics in the chorus "Singing, Oh such a perfect world, singing oh such a peaceful world or so it seems" reinforces this idea that things aren't always what they seem. It's a sort of longing for something more substantial, for authenticity.
In the second verse, the snow's symbolism shifts towards the idea of covering up one's imperfections with a facade of "garments white" or pride. The snow represents something pure, but it's impossible to replicate that purity fully. The line "My nakedness clothed by my pride, oh how it makes me weak, to cover scars so deep" translates that while we may try to cover up the bad memories or our insecurities, they still linger within us and affect us like an open wound. The chorus is repeated, but the last line, "such a peaceful world, or so it seems" has a slightly different connotation, implying that it may not be as peaceful as it appears.
Overall, "Snow" is about longing for emotional purging and a desire to be authentic in a world that constantly tries to manipulate and hide the truth. The use of snow as a symbol is fitting as it is a passing season, like our desires and feelings, and it doesn't stay around for long.
Line by Line Meaning
The snow falls so quietly
The snow descends with silence
Covers everything, all the inbetween
It covers all the space, including the distance among things
It cloaks the glow, the sight prestine
It conceals the radiance and the unblemished view
Hides the dirt beneath, faint trainquility
It obscures the filth and brings a slight peacefulness
Singing, Oh
Voices saying Oh
Such a perfecdt world
This world is so ideal
Singing, Oh
Voices saying Oh
Such a peaceful world, or so it seems
This world appears peaceful or so they say
I wrap myself in garments white,
I am dressed in white clothes,
But no one can see the true heart of me
However, nobody can comprehend my real intentions
My nakedness clothed by my pride
My nakedness veiled by my vanity
Oh how it makes me weak, to cover scars so deep
It pronounces how it enfeebles me to conceal such profound wounds

Chorus part of the song begins
Singing, Oh
Voices saying Oh
Such a perfect world
This world is so perfect
Yeah
Yes indeed
Singing, oh
Voices saying Oh
Such a peaceful world, or so it seems
This world appears peaceful or so they say
Yeah
Yes indeed
I can't live a life so cold
I can't exist in such frigidity
Alone, I grow too old
Alone, I age excessively
To cover up the darker parts of me
To conceal my darker self
How I long to become clean
I strongly yearn to be purified
Let this winter turn to spring
I wish for winter to transform to spring
To feel your warmth
To sense your affection
To see signs of life again
To observe evidence of life once more
Let it melt away
Let it dissolve
Let them melt away
Let them dissolve
There will come a day
There will be a time
When we sing, oh
When we chant, Oh
Such a perfect world
This world is so perfect
Singing, oh
Voices saying Oh
What a peaceful world
What a peaceful world!
That's been redeemed
That has been restored
Singing, oh
Voices saying Oh
Such a peaceful world, or so it seems
This world appears peaceful or so they say
End.
