Daisy
The Winter Passing Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A moment suspended over my head
It all came and ran away so fast
A phone call can change everything
My whole world was turned upside down
And everybody was asking if I was okay
But I couldn't speak a word to anyone
I couldn't believe my eyes

And I promised myself that I'd be stronger for everyone else
But it's killing me to see

In the morning, will you still be mourning?
I can hear the dogs bark out so loud from the lane at the bottom of my street
While I sat staring at the walls
This house has never been so quiet
And it takes everything in my power not to dig you up

And I promised myself that I'd be stronger for everyone else
But it's killing me to see
The distance grows between your baby bones and us
When I turn out the lights at night, I can barely close my eyes

Just say it, just say it
I don't wanna be here

And this is all we have left
Just say it, just say it

Overall Meaning

The Winter Passing's song Daisy is a poignant song that talks about grief and loss. The lyrics describe a moment in the singer's life where everything they knew was turned upside down by a phone call. The lyrics "A moment suspended over my head, It all came and ran away so fast, A phone call can change everything" evoke a sense of shock and disbelief. The singer's whole world has been turned upside down, and they cannot understand what has happened. They are numb and cannot speak a word to anyone, despite being asked repeatedly if they are okay.

The next verse sees the singer struggling to cope with their grief. They describe how quiet their house has become, and they can hear the dogs barking loudly in the lane. They are filled with a sense of utter despair and helplessness, unable to even sleep at night. The chorus talks about the singer's promise to be strong for everyone else, but this is proving to be incredibly difficult. They are watching the distance grow between themselves and the person they have lost, and they just want to hear the truth. They want to know that their loved one is gone and that they don't have to hold onto false hope anymore.

Line by Line Meaning

A moment suspended over my head
There was a moment when everything stopped and I was left to just think

It all came and ran away so fast
Everything happened so quickly and suddenly

A phone call can change everything
One phone call can change your life completely

My whole world was turned upside down
Everything that was normal became abnormal

And everybody was asking if I was okay
People were expressing their concern for my well-being

But I couldn't speak a word to anyone
I couldn't find any words to describe what I was feeling to anyone else

I couldn't believe my eyes
I was in disbelief of what had happened and couldn't comprehend it fully

And I promised myself that I'd be stronger for everyone else
I made a promise to myself to be strong for others even if it hurts me

But it's killing me to see
The reality of the situation is taking a toll on me

In the morning, will you still be mourning?
Will you still be upset in the morning when you wake up?

I can hear the dogs bark out so loud from the lane at the bottom of my street
I can hear the loud noises from outside and it adds to the chaos in my head

While I sat staring at the walls
I was left alone with my thoughts and I couldn't escape them

This house has never been so quiet
The silence is overwhelming and makes everything feel more intense

And it takes everything in my power not to dig you up
The pain is so intense that I wish I could go back in time and change what happened

The distance grows between your baby bones and us
As time passes, it feels like we're growing further apart

When I turn out the lights at night, I can barely close my eyes
I can't sleep because the events keep replaying in my head

Just say it, just say it
I want the truth, even if it's painful

I don't wanna be here
I don't want to be in this situation anymore

And this is all we have left
The situation is irreparable and this is all we're left with

Just say it, just say it
I need to know the truth
