Ricky Montgomery Lyrics

"And I'm down to forget if you'll say it's true
And those drapes on the wall can't shut out the silence
Does it suck that I'm not so predictable?"
To me, evergreen wasn't such a bad dream
Oh, and sometimes things aren't as plain as they seem, darlin'
Here we are wasting our chances for the last time
And when we go, I'll try not to be so slow
Skeletons, skeletons, what do we have here
Hiding from the mirror?
Say it once, say it twice, try to be nice
Well, let's not lose ourselves
Summer's over, love had left her
Screaming at the screen
Oh, and it's understood that the both of us are no good
I'll always be that short little gloat
Always clearing his throat like he ever had something to say
And I'll say,
When I go, bury me six feet in snow
Here we are wasting our chances for the last time
And when we go, I'll try not to be so slow
Skeletons, skeletons, what do we have here
Hiding from the mirror?
Say it once, say it twice, try to be nice
Well, let's not lose ourselves
Take my mind, take my body
Take my father's conscience from me
Sister, will you lend me all your strength?
I'm bringing everyone home
Here we are wasting our chances for the last time
And when we go, I'll try not to be so slow
Skeletons, skeletons, what do we have here
Hiding from the mirror?
Say it once, say it twice, try to be nice
Well, let's not lose ourselves
(da-da's til end)
The song "Snow" by Ricky Montgomery is a melancholic reflection on love and life. The first verse features the woman saying that she is ready to let go of the relationship if the singer is ready to admit the truth. She mentions how the drapes on the wall cannot shut out the silence, which may mean that they have been avoiding facing the truth by distracting themselves. The lyrics talk about the ambiguity in life with phrases like "sometimes things aren't as plain as they seem" and "evergreen wasn't such a bad dream". The line "When I go, bury me six feet in the snow" may mean that the singer wants to be buried in a cold, isolated place where he can rest peacefully without the chaos of the world.
The chorus repeats the theme of missed chances and the inevitability of the end. The skeletons mentioned in the lyrics might refer to the secrets that people hold close to themselves and the fear of being exposed. The verse "Summer's over, love had left her screaming at the screen" highlights the pain and heartbreak of losing someone you love. The singer acknowledges their own flaws and acknowledges how they have failed in the relationship. The chorus repeats one last time, emphasizing the fact that they need to hold onto their identity and not lose themselves.
