Winter
Relic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooo
I don't deserve
A gift like you
A girl like you
The air is getting cold
So hold me close, yeah

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
I can't see nothing but the road
That's out in front of me
I think it's snowing
My heart is frozen
I feel the winter coming
So baby don't let go
Yeah

And I'm missing home
And I don't know these wandering
Roads or where they go
My heart it don't feel pain
In your embrace, my fears are
Chased away
Yeah

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
I can't see nothing but the road
That's out in front of me
I think it's snowing
My heart is frozen
I feel the winter coming so
Baby don't let go, yeah
Don't let go
Ooh

Oh December
Dead of winter
When I'm with her I feel warmer
Tell me baby
Do you feel it too?
Because I'm crazy for you
Ooh

Where am I going?
Where am I going?
I can't see nothing but the road
That's out in front of me
I think it's snowing
My heart is frozen
I feel the winter coming so




Baby don't let go, yeah
Baby, don't let go

Overall Meaning

The song "Winter" by Relic centers around the feeling of uncertainty and loneliness that comes with being away from home during the winter season. The opening lines "I don't deserve a gift like you, a girl like you" indicate a sense of unworthiness and vulnerability, as the singer acknowledges the special nature of his relationship with his sweetheart. However, the impending cold weather and snowfalls are adding to his fears and doubts, and he asks her to hold him close and not let go.


The first verse also sets the tone of the song, as the singer feels lost and directionless, unable to see beyond the road in front of him. He is struggling with the change of seasons, and his heart feels frozen, symbolizing a sense of detachment and numbness. The chorus repeats his questions about where he is going, and in the absence of answers or clarity, he seeks his lover's support and warmth to help him cope with his anxieties.


As the song continues, the singer talks about missing home and feeling unfamiliar with the roads he is traveling. However, being with his lover makes him feel safe, as his fears and pain are chased away in her embrace. The imagery of winter, snow, and coldness evokes a melancholic mood, but the warmth of the relationship between the two lovers gives hope and optimism. The final lines, "Oh December, dead of winter, when I'm with her I feel warmer," summarize the contrasting emotions of the song, as the harshness of the season is offset by the tenderness and love of the relationship.
