PVRIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think we've had enough of each other
Don't make it worse
All we did, all we did was suffer
You were just physical touch, not necessarily love
Just something to distract my aching brain for once
I feel too little and I think too much
'Cause your love's so cold I see my breath (oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
Oh I can't take another night
Always frozen by your side (oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
Don't lose sleep
You can steal some body heat from another
Ice cold to the touch
No I'll never be your snow covered lover
That shit was pathetic, I need love
I'm warm flesh and blood
Call me spineless but at least I've got a heart between my lungs
You feel too little and I feel too much
Can you burn a fire in my flesh? (oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
(Can you?)
'Cause your love's so cold I see my breath
(So cold, darling, no-oh-oh)
Oh I can't take another night
Always frozen by your side
(Frozen in your winter always)
(Closing in your winter always)
Winter in your soul (frozen in your winter always)
You got no love in your bones (closing in your winter always)
Trying to find some heart from you is like
Draining blood from stones
Winter in your soul (frozen in your winter always)
You got no love in your bones (closing in your winter always)
You got winter in your soul
You got winter in your soul
Can you burn a fire in my flesh?
'Cause your love's so cold I see my breath
(So cold, so cold, so cold)
Oh, I can't take another night
Always frozen by your side
Can you burn a fire in my flesh?
(Can you burn, can you burn, can you burn)
'Cause your love's so cold I see my breath
(So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
Oh I can't take another night
Always frozen by your side
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
This song is about a toxic relationship that has lost its spark. The singer is exhausted and emotionally drained from their relationship, and they are searching for warmth and love that they are not getting from their partner. The first verse makes it clear that the singer no longer wants to communicate with their partner because they feel that they have had enough of each other. The second verse highlights how the singer has been used for physical intimacy, instead of being genuinely loved.
The chorus speaks to the singer's desire for warmth and connection. They yearn for someone who can ignite a fire in their soul and bring back their passion. The repeated line, "Always frozen by your side," emphasizes just how cold and lifeless this relationship has become. The bridge presents the idea that the partner has "Winter in their soul" and doesn't know how to love properly. The final repetition of the chorus is sung with more conviction, showing that the singer is ready to move on from this bitter relationship.

@aysegulsims
What I love about this band is that you don't need to listen to a song 2 or 3 times before actually liking it, you just get obsessed straight away
@user-yg4px7ut9t
Absolutely!! I heard '' Winter'' for the first time on YouTube, it was on a Playlist and I loved it right away! 3 years later I heard it maybe 300 times.. Maybe more! Same things for many other songs from the band...
