Eskimo
Pekoe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He likes to see but he doesn't know
That he's out of reach when he's in the snow
He looks up from the world below
As journeys of his limits unfold
He's the Eskimo

Eskimo now, tell me what it's like
To travel across a world of glimmering ice
Do you brave this silent winter
And sing to yourself when the chill of a night
Sends my shivers to you?
Tell me, Eskimo

He catches his dreams in this field of white
The land is a playground in his eye

Eskimo now, tell me what it's like
To travel across a world of glimmering ice
Do you brave this silent winter
And sing to yourself when the chill of a night
Sends my shivers to you?
Tell me, Eskimo

Oh, Arctic wind carry me to this man
'Cause he's close in my heart but we're blizzards apart
Eskimo when can I see you again?
The time that I spend finding you in the stars send me off
In your arms before waking me up all alone in the dark
In this heavy snow

Eskimo now, tell me what it's like
To travel across a world of glimmering ice
Do you brave this silent winter
And sing to yourself when the chill of a night




Sends my shivers to you?
Tell me, Eskimo

Overall Meaning

The song "Eskimo" by Pekoe tells the story of a man who is fascinated by the beauty of the snow and ice, but is unaware that the world above the snow is out of his reach. He is described as an Eskimo, which is a term that refers to indigenous peoples living in the Arctic regions of North America, Greenland, Siberia, and Alaska. The singer of the song is fascinated by the Eskimo's lifestyle and asks him to describe what it's like to travel across a world of glimmering ice. The Eskimo is portrayed as someone who catches his dreams in the field of white, and who sings to himself to stay warm during the harsh winter nights.


The song is a beautiful tribute to the Arctic region, which is known for its stunning landscape, harsh weather conditions, and unique culture. The Eskimo is a symbol of resilience, strength, and the human spirit's ability to adapt to even the most extreme conditions. The songwriter seems to be in awe of the Eskimo's way of life and wants to learn more about it. The song is also a love letter to someone who is far away, and the Arctic region serves as a bridge between two people who are separated by distance.
