Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the time
Wrapped up in layers on my skin and in my mind
in my mind
My depression is no desert of the soul
It's the softly falling snow settling in the trees
It's a deep night forest of evergreen
Endless gray skies, weighed down by the clouds
By the clouds
Formed by the fog that leaves my mouth
When I scream so loud
My depression is no desert of the soul
It's the softly falling snow settling in the trees
It's a deep night forest of evergreen
It's a long shadow that leads me away from the light
My depression is no desert of the soul
It's the softly falling snow settling in the
My depression is no desert of the soul
It's the softly falling snow settling in the trees
It's a deep night forest of evergreen
It's a long shadow that leads me away from the light
