Snowflakes
the HIATUS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
When no one comes
and the summer is cold
I make a song and sing like shit
When the night hurts bad
and the sun is growing old
I see smoke rises
Shaping shades of
better and worse
I make a call to hear your voice
While night goes on
as the snowflakes fall
Just turn me into something else
So I feel so fine
So I feel so close
You just turn me
into someone else
And I feel so fine
And I feel so close to you
I make a song to feel alright
When no one comes
and the summer is cold
I make a song and sing like shit
When the night hurts bad
and the sun is growing old
Just turn me into something else
So I feel so fine
So I feel so close
You just turn me
into someone else
And I feel so fine
And I feel so close to you
When I wake up in the sunset
Do you just turn me
into something else?
So I feel so fine
So I feel so close
Just turn me
Turn me
Turn me
Turn me
Just turn me into someone else
And I feel so fine
And I feel so close to you
Just turn me
Turn me
Turn me
Turn me on
In the song "Snowflakes" by The HIATUS, the lyrics convey a powerful sense of loneliness and isolation in the midst of darkness and coldness. The singer expresses their need to create music as a coping mechanism when they feel abandoned and disconnected from others. The act of making a song becomes a cathartic outlet for their emotions when they find themselves in a state of emotional distress, highlighting the healing power of artistic expression in times of adversity.
As the lyrics mention the summer feeling cold and the night being painful, it reflects the dissonance between external circumstances and internal emotions. The imagery of smoke rising from dying embers suggests a sense of things coming to an end, but also hints at the possibility of transformation and renewal. The reference to "shaping shades of better and worse" speaks to the complexities of life and the constant fluctuations between light and darkness, joy and sorrow.
The singer seeks solace and connection through reaching out to someone, emphasizing the importance of human connection in times of turmoil. The desire to hear a familiar voice in the darkness of night while snowflakes fall creates a poignant image of longing and vulnerability. The repeated refrain of "Just turn me into something else" reflects a yearning for transformation and renewal, a desire to escape from the pain and find solace in another's presence.
The song concludes with a sense of hopeful surrender, as the singer seems to find comfort and intimacy in being transformed by another. The repetition of "Just turn me, turn me, turn me on" conveys a sense of surrendering to the unknown and allowing oneself to be changed by the presence of another. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Snowflakes" speak to the power of music, connection, and transformation in navigating the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
