The White Season
Still Corners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fallen back to sleep
Softly softer snow
Whisper all you know
Is it true?
Is it you?
Is it all?
Winter ride with me
Dream this winter dream
Softly softer snow
Whisper all you know
Is it true?
Is it you?
Is it all?
The lyrics to Still Corners' song The White Season describe a peaceful winter landscape. The opening line, "Winter skies it seems fallen back to sleep," suggests a quiet stillness as the natural world rests under a blanket of snow. The softness of the snow is emphasized in the lines "Softly softer snow, whisper all you know," which creates a sense of intimacy and secrecy as if the snowflakes themselves are whispering secrets.
The second stanza shifts from observation to invitation. The singer asks someone to "ride with me" and "dream this winter dream," suggesting a desire for companionship and shared experience. Again, the snow is personified as the singer asks it to "whisper all you know." The repeated questioning of "Is it true? Is it you? Is it all?" could be interpreted as a search for truth and meaning in the winter landscape, or for validation in the company of the other person. The song's gentle tempo, airy synths, and ethereal vocals contribute to the dream-like quality of the lyrics and create an overall mood of tranquility.
