Winterland
Unheilig Lyrics

The lyrics of Unheilig's song Winterland convey the wistful and nostalgic feelings that arise during the winter season. The singer describes walking through the quiet woods and being surrounded by a dreamlike landscape of ice and light. The snow covers the trees and valleys, and the falling snowflakes seem to caress the singer's face. Despite the beauty of the winter scenery, the singer longs for home and the sense of security and comfort that it brings. The winter season, with its cold and darkness, makes people seek warmth, love, and companionship. That is why the singer believes that life brings people closer together in winter, and dreams have a special place in this fairytale-like winterland.

In the second verse, the singer portrays the winter landscape as a magical place where wishes can come true. The snow-covered world looks like a beautiful silver blanket, and time moves slowly, as if it were an invitation to dream. The singer observes the stillness of nature, where the trees stand silent and the wind manages to lift their branches. The children play on the frozen lakes and rivers, and the frost paints beautiful snowflakes on the windows. This beautiful winter wonderland seems to bring people together, and strangers smile at each other, while friends and family hold hands.

The final verse takes on a slightly melancholy tone as the singer acknowledges the absence of loved ones during the winter season. The warm glow of the lights from the windows, the crackling of the fire, and the silence of the winter night make the singer think of those who are not present. Despite this, winter remains a magical time for dreaming and making wishes come true.
