Snowflakes
Olivia Holt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people spend their whole life in the clouds
Some ride the wind and never hit the ground
Some will shine like diamonds in the sun
Heaven sent down each and every one

We are all snowflakes
Floating 'til we find our place
From a distance we may look the same
But we're beautiful in our own way
We are snowflakes

Will I sparkle
Will I drift
Or will I dance
Will I melt when I touch another's hand
Can I learn from my mistakes when I fall
And remember when I get to feeling small

We are all snowflakes
Floating 'til we find our place
From a distance we may look the same
But we're beautiful in our own way
We are snowflakes

And all I can do
Is do my best
If what it is makes me different from the rest
With nothing more and nothing less

Then snowflakes
Floating 'til we find our place
From a distance we may look the same
But we're beautiful in our own way
We are snowflakes




Oh yeah
Snowflakes

Overall Meaning

The song "Snowflakes" by Olivia Holt is an uplifting and solemn song that discusses individuality and the beauty of being unique. The song starts with Holt alluding to the different paths people take in life, some soaring high and never hitting the ground, some shining bright, and others staying floating up in the clouds. She compares this to snowflakes, where no two individuals are the same, and everyone has their path in life. Holt believes that everyone is sent down from heaven, implying that everyone has a purpose in life.


The chorus further solidifies the idea that everyone is unique and beautiful in their way, like snowflakes. She describes the notion of "floating until we find our place," which means that everyone has their journey, and no one should compare themselves to others. Even though snowflakes may look the same from a distance, they're all unique in their way, and so are humans. She wraps up the chorus by repeating the phrase "we are snowflakes" to stress the idea that each one of us is essential and special, just like snowflakes.


In the bridge, Holt speaks about personal growth and learning from the mistakes, she asks questions about what she will become and what her purpose in life would be, further solidifying that no one knows everything, and a journey should be embraced with open arms. She sings about how the only thing anyone can do is to try their best and be different from the rest, like snowflakes.


Overall, "Snowflakes" is a beautiful and well-written song that encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and journey. It is a message of hope and perseverance, reminding us that we are all unique and have a purpose.
