Winter
Steve Kaetzel & Johnny Monsoon feat. Emma Lock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So it would seem
There is no breaking the clouds
Or let up from this storm
Surrounding me

And I start to notice how the time
It seems to grind its way
To a weathering halt
Somewhere in me

This is out of my control
I cannot stop the rain fall
Winter takes hold
When your love turns cold
Winter takes hold
When your love turns cold

Tears from the sky
Frozen in time
Winter takes hold
When your love turns cold
Winter takes hold
When your love turns cold
Winter takes hold
Winter takes hold




Winter takes hold
When your love turns cold

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Kaetzel & Johnny Monsoon's song Winter describe the feeling of being overwhelmed and trapped in a storm, both literally and metaphorically. The first lines establish a sense of hopelessness, insinuating that there is no escape from the tempest. The next lines depict a feeling of stagnation, as time seems to stand still, and the storm begins to affect the singer from within.


Winter in the lyrics can be viewed as a metaphor for a relationship that has gone sour, and the storm represents the hardships and struggles that come with letting go of someone you once loved. The chorus serves as a reminder that some things are out of our control, that we cannot stop the pain from coming, especially when we've had to absorb the weight of love-turned-cold. The outpouring of emotion is described as "tears from the sky, frozen in time," a picturesque portrayal of the pain and sorrow one might feel.


All in all, Winter is a poignant piece towards the end of a relationship. To be more exact, the song speaks to the way one might feel when breaking up with someone they love. The lyrics suggest that there is a sense of powerlessness, heartbreak, and even depression that stems from the loss of love. "Winter takes hold when your love turns cold" is a line that infers the emotional grieving process that might follow a breakup.


Line by Line Meaning

So it would seem
It appears that way


There is no breaking the clouds
The clouds cannot be dispersed


Or let up from this storm
The raging storm won't subside


Surrounding me
Enveloping me entirely


And I start to notice how the time
I begin to realize how time


It seems to grind its way
Moves slowly and painfully


To a weathering halt
To a complete stop, deteriorating over time


Somewhere in me
Deep within me


This is out of my control
I cannot control this situation


I cannot stop the rain fall
I am powerless to cease the rain


Winter takes hold
Winter has arrived


When your love turns cold
When your once warm love becomes distant


Tears from the sky
Raindrops falling from the dark sky


Frozen in time
Stagnant and immovable


Winter takes hold
Winter has taken over


When your love turns cold
When your affection becomes icy


Winter takes hold
Winter has a firm grip


When your love turns cold
When your devotion fades away


Winter takes hold
Winter sets in


Winter takes hold
Winter prevails


Winter takes hold
Winter dominates


When your love turns cold
When your affection vanishes

1:58 - 2:20 is a beautiful part of the song. I would have loved if this was repeated later in the song.
