The Tempest
Throwing Snow feat. Adda Kaleh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shivering cars wander in the rain for long hours
Turning into people and fading
None of them start up entering the frame of mistake
Disappeared or in the country that placed it in

Like you
Hurry through the streets of the tempest
Like you

Hurry through the streets of the tempest

You're gone
And I'm not really there
If it matters
I'm not really there
Turn and return
And I'm not really there
For others
I'm not really there
Oh lost not a thing to spare

Shivering cars wander in the rain for long hours
Turning into people and fading
Turning into people and
None of them start up entering the frame
None of them start up
Of mistake, of mistake

You can't, you can't
You can't, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Throwing Snow feat. Adda Kaleh's song The Tempest speak of the feeling of being lost and disconnected. The shivering cars that wander in the rain for long hours are a metaphor for the people lost in the tempest, feeling trapped and unable to move forward. The mention of turning into people and fading conveys the sense of anonymity and feeling insignificant. None of them start up entering the frame of mistake suggests that the people are trapped and unable to break free from their circumstances.

The repetition of "Like you, hurry through the streets of the tempest" conveys the sense of urgency, as if someone is trying to escape the tempest. However, the lines "You're gone and I'm not really there" indicate that the person who was once running with urgency is now gone, leaving the singer feeling disconnected and invisible. The line "For others, I'm not really there" further emphasizes the singer's detachment from the world and a sense of being lost.

Overall, the song is about the feeling of being lost, disconnected, and trying to find a way out of the tempest.
