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."
Snow
San Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were walking through the snow.
You were all, I'd ever known,
Missing you since I've left home
Touched down from New York back to L.A.
Forgot to get you flowers on your birthday,
Told me not to bother, called you anyway,
The snow, the snow, the snow is melting now.
Everyday I'm lost in a new town.
I know, I know, I know its so unfair,
I'm never there but I still care.
I know you, I know you, better than that,
I know you, I know you, better than that.
Let it wash over you like a wave,
Dive deep, girl you're safe.
You know I gave you everything before I gave it,
We will never be the same, can you forgive again.
You were all, I'd ever known,
Missing you since I've left home
The snow, the snow, the snow has melted now.
Everyday I'm lost in a new town.
I know, I know, I know its so unfair,
I'm never there but I still care.
I know you, I know you, better than that,
I know you, I know you, better than that.
I know you, I know you, better than that,
I know you, I know you, better than that.
You're just nostalgic and it wasn't even that good
We could make it work baby, if you were coming home for good.
I know these things, are hard to do,
Can't help but think that I'm better off without you.
The snow, the snow, the snow has melted now.
Everyday I'm lost in a new town.
I know, I know, I know its so unfair,
I'm never there, but I still care.
I know you, I know you, were better than that,
I know you, I know you, are better than that.
I know you, I know you, were better than that,
I know you, I know you, are better than that.
I know you, I know you, were better than that,
I know you, I know you, are better than that.
I know you, I know you, were better than that,
I know you, I know you, are better than that.
The snow, the snow, the snow has melted now.
Everyday I'm lost in a new town.
I know, I know, I know its so unfair,
I'm never there, but I still care.
The song "Snow" by San Cisco tells the story of a relationship that has struggled due to distance and busy lives. The first verse sets the scene a year ago where the couple was walking through the snow together and the singer was missing their partner since leaving home. The second verse jumps to the present where the singer has returned from New York to L.A., forgetting to get their partner flowers on their birthday. They still call, but have no words to say. This verse highlights the struggle of trying to keep a relationship alive while being apart.
The chorus focuses on the constant feeling of being lost and far away in new towns while still caring about their partner despite not being there. The line "I know you better than that" is repeated throughout the chorus, suggesting that the singer understands their partner more than they give them credit for, but distance is preventing them from showing it. The second part of the chorus adds a sense of guilt to the singer's feelings. They acknowledge that the situation is unfair but still care deeply.
The final verse starts with the singer realizing that the nostalgia for their relationship may be clouding their judgement. The line "We could make it work baby if you were coming home for good" shows that they still have hope for the relationship, but are aware that it won't work if one person is committed and the other is only there temporarily. The verse ends with the recognition that moving on may be the better option despite still having feelings for their partner.
Overall, this song captures the bittersweet feeling of longing for someone while being physically apart and the struggle to keep a relationship alive when life gets in the way.
