Snowfall
Pots & Pans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can they be all,
So very unidentical?
Snowfall...
How can they be all,
So very unidentical?
Knocking icicles down
You're melting angels,
All over town.)
From ashes comes sunset
You tried to explain,
But all through ice ages
And black acid rain
Having these words
She was caught in a jar,
I hallow snow angel
She imploded a star
Snowfall...
(I fought it...)
Why don't you come around?
(The cold)
We'll set the fire,
And get snow-bound
You fought it...
(share our snow suits)
It out...
(and make soft snowy sounds)
Sick of weather,
(Snowfall...)
Things got better,
(Snowfall I'm counting on you)
Didn't think you had it in you
Snowfall...
(I fought it...)
Why don't you come around?
(The cold)
We'll set the fire,
And get snow-bound
You fought it...
(share our snow suits)
It out...
(and make soft snowy sounds)
Sick of weather,
Things got better,
Didn't think you had it in you
Snowfall...
(Snowfall)
Snowfall...
(You're all)
Snowfall...
Snowfall...
(Snowfall)
Snowfall...
(You're all)
Snowfall...
The opening lines of Pots & Pans's song "Snowfall" highlights the unique qualities of snowflakes since each flake is different from another. This observation is a metaphor for human beings, who on the surface may seem alike, but differ in personality, behavior, and life experiences. The succeeding lines mention sleigh rides and knocking icicles down, an image that conjures up a festive winter mood. However, the following lines reveal a contradiction to this mood by speaking of ashes, ice ages, and black acid rain, all of which suggest bleakness and destruction. The line "you tried to explain, but all through ice ages and black acid rain" could be referring to the disparity between generations, where each group struggles to connect with the other due to differences in experiences and values.
The following lines of the song, "Having these words, she was caught in a jar, I hallow snow angel she imploded a star," are difficult to interpret. However, it could involve a story of a person trapped in their emotions, possibly due to unfulfilled dreams or aspirations. The mention of a "hallow snow angel" could imply a search for purity or innocence, while the phrase, "she imploded a star," suggests the idea of someone who has lost their radiance or spark. In the chorus, the lyrics reinforce the desire for snow, perhaps as a means of escapism from the woes of reality. The lines "We'll set the fire, and get snow-bound" seemingly suggest that the snow acts as a shelter, where people can come together and find camaraderie.
