Snow Day
Shame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm turning my head from the wind
It's cold but I've been colder
And as the dew seeps slowly through the holes and dampens my skin
I feel the sting of mother nature
I'm going to close my eyes soon
And this is the only place I can do it
At the top of this hill
I sit down

I dismiss everything I see in front of me
All mountains crumble and turn to dust
Color slips away
Just like it always does
If I can't see you then why should I see?
They say don't live in the past
And I don't
I live deep within myself
Just like everyone else

And then I close my eyes
And then I fall to you

And everything comes together at once
It looks just like the ocean
And you wanna just dive in
It's the most beautiful thing you'll ever see
And yet you walk past it all the time
On your way
To work

And I'm not looking for anything
Well not really
You see I know what I need
I just haven't got it yet
Well I just have to close my eyes
And I can almost taste it
The fresh of air of freedom
I just have to close my eyes

And then I fall to you
And then I fall to you
And then I fall to you
And then I fall to you
In my mind





And I see something that is new when I fall to you
I see something that is new when I fall to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Snow Day" by Shame paint a vivid picture of introspection and contemplation amidst the elements of nature. The singer describes the sensation of the cold wind, contrasting it with the feeling of being even colder in the past. The imagery of dew seeping through holes and dampening the skin brings a visceral experience of the sting of mother nature. The act of closing the eyes at the top of a hill provides a symbolic moment of retreat and solitude.


The dismissal of everything in front of the singer signifies a detachment from external distractions, as even mountains crumble and colors fade into obscurity. The repetition of the phrase "If I can't see you then why should I see?" suggests a personal choice to focus inwardly rather than on external influences. The reflection on not living in the past but rather within oneself like everyone else hints at a universal human experience of introspection and self-awareness.


As the singer closes their eyes and falls into a contemplative state, a sense of unity and serenity is portrayed. The description of everything coming together like the ocean and the longing to dive into its beauty conveys a desire for tranquility and appreciation of simple moments often overlooked in the busyness of life. The juxtaposition of this serene imagery with the mundane routine of daily life, symbolized by walking past beauty on the way to work, underscores the contrast between inner peace and external obligations.


The final verses express a yearning for something yet to be attained, a sense of knowing what is needed but not having it just yet. The imagery of almost tasting the fresh air of freedom by closing the eyes conveys a hopeful anticipation of fulfillment. The repetition of "falling to you" in the mind suggests a connection to a source of solace or inner strength. The closing lines reveal a glimpse of something new being seen when falling into this introspective state, hinting at personal growth and insight gained through the act of contemplation.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm turning my head from the wind
I'm avoiding the harshness of reality


It's cold but I've been colder
I've faced tougher challenges before


And as the dew seeps slowly through the holes and dampens my skin
As nature's elements remind me of vulnerability


I feel the sting of mother nature
I acknowledge the power and beauty of the natural world


I'm going to close my eyes soon
I seek solace in inner peace


And this is the only place I can do it
This moment of tranquility is my only escape


At the top of this hill
In a place of solitude and reflection


I sit down
I embrace stillness and contemplation


I dismiss everything I see in front of me
I let go of external distractions


All mountains crumble and turn to dust
Signifying the impermanence of worldly concerns


Color slips away
The vibrancy of life fades


Just like it always does
As time passes, things change


If I can't see you then why should I see?
Without clarity, what's the point of observation?


They say don't live in the past
Advice to focus on the present


And I don't
I am rooted in the here and now


I live deep within myself
Finding truth and peace internally


Just like everyone else
A shared human experience


And then I close my eyes
Entering a state of introspection


And then I fall to you
Seeking connection or guidance


And everything comes together at once
Unity and clarity prevail


It looks just like the ocean
A vast expanse of possibility


And you wanna just dive in
The allure of exploration and discovery


It's the most beautiful thing you'll ever see
The beauty of inner revelation


And yet you walk past it all the time
Often missing the beauty in everyday life


On your way
In the routine of daily life


To work
To fulfill responsibilities and obligations


And I'm not looking for anything
Content in the present moment


Well not really
With a hint of uncertainty


You see I know what I need
Having clarity about personal needs


I just haven't got it yet
Patience is required for fulfillment


And then I fall to you
Still seeking connection or guidance


In my mind
In the depths of my thoughts


And I see something that is new when I fall to you
Discovering fresh insights or perspectives
