Winter Sound
Of Monsters and Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop, you're cold against the skin
You take me in your arms when walls are closing in, ooh-ooh
And I run, I run, I run, awakening my heart
But you overwhelm my lungs and it's tearing me apart

You and I will not be shaken
By the winter sound
But my voice is suffocating
In the winter sound, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ooh-ow
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh

Stop, I will take control
Bend the metal into shapes that I know, ooh-ooh
And I run, I run, I run, further than before
I shake away the skin to saturate my soul

You and I will not be shaken
By the winter sound
But my voice is suffocating
In the winter sound

You and I will not be shaken
By the winter sound
But my voice is suffocating
In the winter sound

And you scream, you scratch, you bite, you prey on my heart
And I know that you and I can never be apart, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ooh-ow
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh

Ah-ah-ooh-ow
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ooh

You and I will not be shaken
By the winter sound
But my voice is suffocating
In the winter

You and I will not be shaken
By the winter sound




But my voice is suffocating
In the winter sound

@OMaMaRMY

Ive been having LITTLE TALKS with myself BENEATH MY BED, waiting over SIX WEEKS for this song that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. This video deserves to be seen by well over a THOUSAND EYES... This is one of those songs you can feel deep in YOUR BONES. Weather it's a hike up BLUEBERRY MOUNTAIN, or a visit to your BACKYARD, this song will embed itself into your ORGANS, your heart, brain etc... This is my WINTER SOUND, my MOUNTAIN SOUND, my EMPIRE. This is my YELLOW LIGHT in an ocean of BLACK WATER, because I am only HUMAN, WE all SINK I am a SINKING MAN. It's a SLOW LIFE, and I move SLOW AND STEADY


a PHANTOM follows me as I stare at the SKELETONS covered with ice CRYSTALS near my LAKEHOUSE. I blaze my illegal NUMB BEARS to try and escape the pain as I enter a deep deep SLOOM. I want to be in HAWAII, I want to have this HAPPY SONG with me. I feel this HUNGER, like WOLVES WITHOUT TEETH do. Their DIRTY PAWS follow their KING AND LIONHEART, searching for the I OF THE STORM.


I picture SILHOUETTES of A BOY AND A BIRD, floating on PARTICLES. The boy, JOSIE, is playing with SUGAR IN A BOWL, sadly singing "WERE GETTING OLDER"


This is the power of this song...
