Spring Snow
Vampire Weekend Lyrics

The snow fell last night
The quietness and stillness of the snowfall symbolize a temporary pause in the chaos and challenges of life.

Your flight couldn't leave
Unexpected circumstances prevented you from escaping your current reality and facing its consequences.

Come back to the bed
Return to a place of safety and comfort where we can find solace and escape from the outside world.

Let's take this reprieve
Let's embrace this temporary break from our problems and use it to recharge and regain our strength.

It felt like the end
The situation seemed dire and hopeless, like a conclusion or finality.

The end's been delayed
The expected ending or resolution has been postponed or prolonged, offering a glimmer of hope or possibility.

You're here in my arms
Having you close to me brings a sense of comfort and assurance in the midst of uncertainty.

So what should I say?
I am unsure of how to express my feelings or convey the significance of our current situation.

The words of a song
Similar to how songs can convey emotions and meanings beyond literal words, our connection and experiences are deeper than mere communication.

The prayers that we pray
The hopes and desires that we hold dear, seeking solace and guidance in something higher.

The lock on the door
Even though we may try to keep out external forces and influences, they have a way of finding their way in.

Won't keep them away
Our attempts to create barriers or protect ourselves are ultimately futile in preventing the challenges and difficulties that life brings.

The snow slows them down
The temporary respite granted by the snowfall delays the arrival and impact of these challenges, giving us a momentary break.

If just for a day
Although the snow's effects are temporary and short-lived, we can appreciate and make the most of this brief period of relief.

But here comes the sun
Just as the snow brought a temporary pause, the reappearance of the sun signifies the return of harsh realities and difficulties.

Those toxic old rays
The metaphorical rays of the sun symbolize the negative and harmful aspects of life that are now resurfacing.

Trains start to move
Signifying that life and its challenges continue to progress and move forward, regardless of our desires or efforts.

Bells start to ring
Symbolizing the start of new phases or events, signaling that time is passing and change is inevitable.

The seasons we had
The experiences and memories of the past, representing the different phases or chapters of our lives.

Don't mean anything
Despite the significance we may have attached to those past seasons, they ultimately hold no real meaning or influence in our present reality.
