Winter
Sonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things we only wished for when we were young
I have currents of energy blooming within
You’re the only one who knew where they rested
I’ve been dreaming summers with you
But the winter came and took you away
I let my branches carry insects who carry forever
Broken palms but I will hold out
I’ve been dreaming summers with you
But the winter came and took you away
And I didn’t think I’d let you in
I didn’t believe I’d let you see
All I thought I am
And let you change me
In "Winter", Sonnie sings about the loss of a loved one and the pain that comes with it. The opening lines, "I thought up rivers that float by our house, things we only wished for when we were young", suggest a sense of nostalgia for happier times, and the idea that the singer and their loved one had dreams and plans together that never came to fruition. The following lines, "I have currents of energy blooming within, you're the only one who knew where they rested", highlight the idea that the loved one brought out the best in the singer, and that they feel lost without them.
The chorus, "I've been dreaming summers with you, but the winter came and took you away", is a poignant image of loss, with summer representing the warmth and happiness of being with their loved one, and winter symbolizing the cold and emptiness of their absence. The lines, "Angels get their wings and I hold onto trees, I let my branches carry insects who carry forever, broken palms but I will hold out", suggest a struggle to find hope and meaning in the face of loss.
The final verse, "And I didn’t think I’d let you in, I didn’t believe I’d let you see, all I thought I am, and let you change me", reveals a sense of personal growth and transformation that the singer experienced through their relationship with the loved one, despite any initial doubts or fears. Overall, "Winter" is a raw and emotional exploration of grief and the lasting impact of love.

I'm never alone in my head
I tend to just break (Tend to just break)
And times where I'd rather be dead
My bones start to shake (Bones start to shake)
See the world has been lucid
I'm trapped with this pain that I cope is the same (It is the same)
Injecting her happiness inside my brain
Until I don't feel pain (I don't feel pain)
Watch me suffer the winter, I shiver
Get numb to the weather, I'll never get better
I'm cold like winter, the snow, cold as my breath
When I blow out the smoke (Blow out the smoke)
See, my world turns to grey, my life starts to fade
My heart tends to break (Tends to break)
See my world turns to grey, my life starts to fade
My heart tends to break (Break)
