Winters Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i will take the light through the time
and the blades that break my soul
but then sadicity aside
i am not without you next to me
i will take the front to the line and bring back the night before
light the fire
let it burn on top of you
im a man that cant be tamed
light the fire
let it burn on top of you
breathe again beneath the flames
im a man
im a man
im a man that cant be saved
well maybe i was wrong
perhaps you needed more from me
i can't stand to fight all time but i cant seem to take the fall
electricity aside
this is more than just a life for me
i can put our time on the line and bring back the night before
light the fire
let it burn on top of you
breathe again beneath the flames
im a man that can't be saved
light the fire
let it burn on top of you
breathe again beneath the flames
im a man
im a man
im a man that can't be saved
ares ares
tear me down
see the man that i am now
and from the flames

The lyrics to Winters Island's song "Ares" suggest a relationship that is in trouble. The singer has written a song for their partner, but it seems that their partner wants something more grandiose. The singer is willing to face the difficulties and pain that come with love, but it seems that their partner is not. The line "blades that break my soul" suggests that the relationship is harming the singer in some way. However, the singer still wants to be with their partner ("I am not without you next to me") and is willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work.
The chorus, with its repeated plea to "light the fire" and "let it burn on top of you," suggests a desire to reignite the passion in the relationship. The line "I'm a man that can't be tamed" speaks to the singer's independent nature, but it also suggests that the relationship may be suffering because of a lack of compromise.
The chorus also ends with the repeated phrase "I'm a man that can't be saved," which adds a tone of hopelessness to the song. It seems that the singer has done all they can to save the relationship, but it may not be working. The reference to Ares, the god of war, in the final line suggests that the relationship may be doomed to end in conflict.

This song, that video always makes me so emotional, so nostalgic. I'm 24 and I'm not seeing any of my childhood friends. So when he puts the mask back to the box, it hits me pretty hard.
@HighClerick
How did this band not take off? So insane, they're so good. I'm here in 2023 and found it via algorithm. Ares, Lead On, Fire, all bangers wtf.

A friend of mine shared this song with me, since then I've been listening to it dozens of times. It's been months now and I decided to check more stuff about these guys. Now I'm like 'What the f I thought they were some kind of superstars!' Like seriously how come they be so underrated ? Sharing this with my friends now, some album has to come out! All my support from France, keep it up!
