San Cisco have spent the last year graduating high school, performing at some festivals and playing round town pretty much every weekend. They have also produced their first EP called Golden Revolver, which is set for release early 2011. Confident with stage presence & strong with vocals, San Cisco's upbeat summer pop continues to impress.
Jordi says: "San Cisco is a place situated between reality & a dream state. It is kind of like a huge cauldron we put all our creative input into, mix it together to make a super explosion of fantastic, wild creations. This is San Cisco."
Bitter Winter
San Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I wanted someone like me
I'd hang out with myself
I'm stuck here in the middle of winter
I feel a bit bitter about what you said to me
Well you never talk about it
Instead you scream and shout it
You love drama, I believe in karma
I'm struggling and might see a shrink
I never thought that I would think that
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
We're so different, you and I
I think that's what first caught your eye
I'm your mistake, you're my escape
You suggest the theatre
I go just to be with you
It's not something I like to do
I hate musicals, I know about you
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
I don't wanna be with anybody else
If I wanted someone like me
I'd hang out with myself
I don't wanna be with anybody else
If I wanted someone like me
I'd just hang out with myself
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
I, no I don't wanna be
With anybody else but you
Can you come with me?
The lyrics of San Cisco's "Bitter Winter" reveal a relationship that is starting to deteriorate. The singer, who addresses the object of his affection, is disillusioned and somewhat resentful. He makes it clear that he does not want to be with anyone else; however, he is growing increasingly fed up with his partner's behavior. He feels bitterness towards the way she speaks to him and the fact that she does not seem to let anyone close to her. The singer seems to be feeling more and more isolated despite having a partner, and he no longer knows how to bridge the gap between them.
The chorus of the song is somewhat ambiguous. It is uncertain whether the singer is asking his partner to accompany him or if he is questioning whether he himself should continue the relationship. The repetition of the lines "I no I don't wanna be, with anybody else but you, can you come with me?" suggests that the singer does not want to lose his partner, but he is unsure if she feels the same way. This theme of uncertainty and the desire to communicate is explored throughout the song. The singer feels that he and his partner are polar opposites, and he worries that this gap might prove to be too much for their relationship to handle.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bitter Winter" are somewhat melancholy and bitter. The singer is struggling to come to terms with his feelings and the direction that his relationship is taking. He is looking for reassurance from his partner, but instead, he is met with frustration and confusion. The song highlights the difficulties that arise when two people try to connect, but their differences prove too hard to bridge.
