Winter
Oceans of Slumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A winter's breath has come to carry you.
It echoes through the halls…
Long gone are the days of everything.
Redefine...
Teach me how to breathe and live again.
Realign…
Remind me all the ways that summer felt.
So lost without,
your light, your love…surrounding.
I can't feel. There's no light.
Nothing left this world has grown cold.
There's no light, No love around me.
You and I were never meant to be.
A thousand little wings, upon the ground.
Unfond of memories; unfond of sound.
The autumn wind it seems has passed me by…
The winter cold has trapped my soul beneath the ice.
Of all the little things
Never meant to change
Surely you weren't unaffected by the seasons change.
And I'm estranged.
The world around me built by memories of yesterdays in vain.
I can't breathe, I can't feel.
So lost without,
your light, your love…surrounding.
I can't feel. There's no light.
Nothing left this world has grown cold.
There's no light, No love around me.
You and I were never meant to be.
WE GOT LOST ALONG THE WAY, THIS AUTUMN SONG DECAYS…
So we watched the sun for one more day!
EMBRACE THE SEASON'S CHANGE, WASH IT ALL AWAY.
Make a wish and hold our final gaze…
As the moon eclipsed the sun…
The longest night goes on…
THE RUTHLESS TIDE, BRINGS THE WINTER NIGHT
I HAVE NO MORE LIGHT… IN MY LIFE
Life have mercy on me, I can't bury this.
Bury this suffering.
Life have mercy on me I can't bury this.
Bury this suffering.
Bury these sins Bury this in Bury this sin BURY THIS DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL,
BURY THIS BURDEN DEEP; BURY THIS BURDEN DEEP WITHIN…
I'M SO LOST WITHOUT YOU.
YOU'VE BEEN SWEPT AWAY, MY ONLY LOVE KEPT AWAY
I'M SO LOST WITHOUT YOU, CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT,
CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT YOU
Sing another verse, Sing another verse…
(I'M SO LOST WITHOUT…SO LOST WITHOUT YOU)
Sing another verse, sing another verse…(Repeats)
SING ANOTHER , SING ANOTHER … I'M SO LOST WITHOUT YOU…
Such a long time ago… (AUTUMN SUN SETS, WINTER'S BREATHE WHISPERS DEATH)
Such a long time ago… I'm so lost without…I'm so lost without you.
The lyrics of Oceans of Slumber's song Winter are reflective of loss, grief, and the feeling of being lost without someone or something that was once there. The opening lines, "Whispers death to life…A winter's breath has come to carry you," set the tone for the rest of the song, with the metaphor of winter symbolizing coldness and loss. The lyrics express a longing for the warmth and love that is now missing, represented by the repeated lines, "I can't breathe, I can't feel. So lost without, your light, your love…surrounding. I can't feel. There's no light. Nothing left this world has grown cold. There's no light, no love around me."
The lyrics also touch on the idea of change and its impact on relationships. The line, "Surely you weren't unaffected by the seasons change," suggests that the changes that often happen in relationships can be difficult to navigate and can lead to feelings of being disconnected and estranged. The final verse, with its plea for mercy and the repeated line, "I'm so lost without you," encapsulates the desperation and sorrow that comes with loss.
Overall, the lyrics of Winter are a powerful representation of the emotions that come with loss and grief, and the feeling of being lost without the warmth and love that was once present.
