The band released this statement:
"I'm going to keep this short, and hopefully fairly devoid of pompous self-importance. Snowing has come to an end at the ripe old age of 3 and a half (that's over 90 in emo years!). Words are really escaping me right now, so I'll just say this: We had a blast writing songs, driving across the country playing shows, imbibing copious amounts of alcohol, and earning future grey hairs by reading all about ourselves on message boards. Thanks for everything."
Could Be Better Forever
Snowing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don’t know where I’ll go when I go. Will Saint Pete assess my soul? Will I sleep without dreams in some hole? I’ll drive my car off the rode. I’ll pray that the tank explodes. The impact will snap my bones and I’ll plunge headfirst toward the unknown.
But I don’t wanna go if I have to go alone.
My dad died, like his dad died, and I know someday I’ll die, but I’m alive.
My friends say all the best things. I hope to meet them in the end.
In "Could Be Better Forever" by Snowing, the singer contemplates death and the consequences of their actions in life. The lyrics are quite introspective and reveal the singer's inner turmoil. They mention the sign on the PA turnpike that warns about sin and how they feel it's about time their sin finds them out. They feel lost and scared, freaked out and frustrated, but fueled by the memory of their father's death, which was similar to his own father's death. The singer acknowledges that they will die someday, but they are currently alive, and they are uncertain where they will go after they die. They ponder if Saint Peter will assess their soul or if they will sleep in some unknown hole without dreams. The singer imagines driving their car off the road and praying for the tank to explode, leading to their death. However, they don't want to go alone.
The emotion conveyed in this song is deep and raw. It shows the singer's vulnerability as they face their fears and uncertainties in life. The lyrics speak to the human condition of grappling with the inevitability of death and what may lie beyond. The song touches on themes of mortality, regret, and the hope for a better future. It's a melancholic reflection on life that prompts the listener to contemplate their own existence.
