Winter
Steve Kaetzel & Johnny Monsoon feat. Emma Lock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

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.
