Winter
The Alpha Conspiracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't wander looking for your dream today
One two a river unseen by the waste in your life
Another break in your way is a sign, she says
I look forward, watch you eat your words today
Run to the look in your darkened eyes
Still they're alive
Another day is a step towards grey, she says
I just wonder if she'll ever be today
Run to the winter cold embrace
Stealing my life
Another running away is your sign, she says
I look forward, watch the sky recede today
One two a fateful turn away
Sealing our lives
I'm lost in your eyes again
Once I met your gaze
And find the way
The way to be cold again
In The Alpha Conspiracy's song Winter, the lyrics seem to describe a relationship where one person is urging the other to become more proactive in their life, while the other person seems to be lost in their thoughts and hesitant to take action. The opening line, "Another day is a waste of your life," suggests that the person being addressed is not seizing the opportunities in their life, and is instead merely existing. This is further emphasized when the singer states, "I can't wander looking for your dream today." It is as if the person being spoken to is waiting for someone else to come along and provide direction, instead of taking charge of their own destiny.
The reference to a "river unseen by the waste in your life" is interesting, as it can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be that the river represents something that the person being spoken to is missing out on because they are too focused on the negative aspects of their life. Alternatively, it could be that the river is a metaphor for the flow of life, and the person being spoken to is stagnant and not moving forward. The line "Another break in your way is a sign" suggests that the person being spoken to may be too quick to give up when something goes wrong, and that they need to learn from their setbacks.
The chorus of the song seems to be about the two people being separated by their respective mindsets. The singer is trying to encourage the other person to embrace life, but the other person is hesitant and "lost in their eyes." The line "The way to be cold again" seems to suggest that the hesitant person is comfortable in their current state, and may not be willing to change.
