Frostbite
Pekoe Lyrics

An empty street under a light
The artist finds themselves alone on an empty street, lit by a single light.

The stars above, I've lost their sight
Despite being outside, the artist can't see any stars in the sky.

They sing by the fireplace
Inside a nearby building, people are singing around a fireplace.

As I wish through their window pane
The artist is looking in on the scene through a window.

Snow fall gently, I wanted to
The artist watches snow gently falling, wishing to see the world coated in white.

See the world in white, frozen in time
The artist wants to see a world blanketed in snow, quiet and still.

This silence is when frostbite bites
The silence and cold of the winter night can be so intense they feel painful.

And though it hurts, if I can feel, then I'm alive
Despite the pain, the artist realizes that being able to feel anything means they're still alive.

As long as I'm alive, I won't burn out tonight
The artist feels like they can keep moving and not give up as long as they're still alive.

I'll light these matches in my hands
The artist decides to light a match in their hand, perhaps to keep themselves warm or comforted.

In a night so cold I can't withstand
The artist is struggling with the extreme cold of the night.

The smoke will rise from the flame
As the match burns, smoke will rise from the flame.

So I won't forget my name
The smoke is a reminder to the artist of their own existence, their own name.

The stars above, I'll join tonight
At the end of the song, the artist decides they'll join the stars and leave this world behind.
