Wintersleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody understands
Life's to short for explanations
You've got to many big plans
You've mapped out every single second
Of what you'll do when your done
You keep your caliber loaded
No-one's gonna fuck this up
you drive the exact speed limit
Keep of a track or your miles
Listen to radio music
Smiling when everyone else smiles
You should take a beating willing
Do it in the name of the cause
Do it for the feeling that one day
Maybe you could be your own boss
Maybe get a beautifull woman
Get a fat piece of land
Get a couple of kids
A prototypical civilian
Housing towards the future
Mining towards the sun
You keep you caliber loaded
No-one's gonna fuck this up
you have got to stay on top
Don't forget to load it up
The song "Caliber" by Wintersleep begins with the lines "Mumbling monosyllabic moments, nobody understands, life's too short for explanations, you've got too many big plans". The first few lines of the song capture the essence of the singer's mindset. He is an individualist who wants to live life according to his own terms. He has a clear-cut plan of how he wants his life to pan out, and he is unwavering in his pursuit of those goals. The words "mumbling monosyllabic moments" suggest that he is not someone who is prone to explain his actions or intentions to anyone, least of all to those who don't understand him. The opening lines reflect his confidence and self-assuredness, and also imbue the song with a powerful sense of individuality.
The lyrics further describe the singer's meticulousness and his unwavering focus in pursuing his goals. He keeps his 'caliber' loaded, which could be interpreted as being prepared for any sort of challenge that might hinder him from achieving his goals. The lyrics also illustrate his desire for a stable life and a better future. He keeps to the speed limit, maps out his every move, and is willing to take a beating in the name of the cause. In the end, he has his eyes set on owning a fat piece of land, having beautiful woman and children, and being a prototypical civilian, all achieved by mining towards the sun.
