Winter
Two Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a frozen land
I'm looking at the sky
And it's laughing at me
I'll beg for mercy
- but there's no mercy -
Is that the way winter
Oh, no more
Snow no more
Cold i'll beg you no more
Ice no more
I'm on my knees
In knee-deep snow
- still snowing -
I'm really freezing
My hands are cold
And head-ache is awful...
Is that the way winter
Wants to kill me?
In Two Witches's song "Winter," the lyrics express a sense of hopelessness and despair as the singer finds themselves on their knees in the midst of the freezing winter. The opening verse sets the scene with the singer in a frozen land, looking up at the sky which is laughing at them. The tone is melancholic and the imagery is bleak, painting a picture of isolation and vulnerability. The singer goes on to beg for mercy, but the winter offers none. Instead, it seems to want to kill them through its brutal cold and unrelenting snow. The second verse reintroduces the image of the singer on their knees, this time in knee-deep snow which is still falling. The physical toll of the bitter winter is apparent as the singer's hands are cold and they are suffering from a head-ache. The song ends with the question raised again of whether the winter wants to kill them in this way.
Overall, the lyrics to "Winter" convey a sense of despair and hopelessness in the face of a harsh and uncaring environment. The use of physical imagery such as the knee-deep snow and the singer's cold hands serves to make the experience feel all too real and immersive for the listener.

I'm on my knees
I am in a position of submission and vulnerability
On a frozen land
I am in a cold and desolate environment
I'm looking at the sky
I am observing my surroundings, searching for answers or guidance
And it's laughing at me
The world seems cruel and indifferent to my struggles
I'll beg for mercy
I will plead for leniency or relief
- but there's no mercy -
My plea remains unheard and unacknowledged
Is that the way winter
Does the season of winter
Wants to kill me?
Intend to harm or destroy me?
Oh, no more
I no longer desire or can endure
Snow no more
The presence of snow is unbearable
Cold i'll beg you no more
I will not ask for an end to the coldness, as it falls on deaf ears
Ice no more
I cannot withstand the harshness of ice
My hands are cold
My extremities are affected by the cold and become numb
And head-ache is awful...
I am in physical pain and discomfort
Is that the way winter
Does the season of winter
Wants to kill me?
Intend to harm or destroy me?
