Lyrics
There's snow on the mountains, and fog in the street;
Describing the winter setting with snow on mountains and fog in the street.
Flickering candles in the room. Hear the churchbell ring.
Setting the scene with flickering candles and the sound of a church bell ringing.
See the children playing. I fell the pure delight,
Observing children playing and feeling pure delight in the winter atmosphere.
And the snow is falling, taking me away.
The snowfall is depicted as captivating and transporting the speaker away.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Expressing the theme of cold winter nights and dreams associated with them.
Reflecting the sound of my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
The sound of the heart is reflected, symbolizing the speaker's personal freedom.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Repeating the theme of cold winter nights and dreams, cautioning against separation.
Don't try to tear me apart; cold winter dreams
Emphasizing the resistance to being torn apart during the cold winter dreams.
Find myself in peace, warm from underneath.
Finding peace and warmth, perhaps metaphorically or literally beneath something.
Wish you would be here in this magic scene.
Expressing a desire for someone special to share in the magical winter scene.
I've escaped from reality, dancing in the snow.
Escaping from reality, dancing in the snow, indicating a sense of freedom.
Cold, blue sky gives me the innocence I need.
The cold, blue sky is seen as providing the innocence needed by the speaker.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Reiteration of the theme of cold winter nights and dreams, freezing the heart's heat.
Freezing the heat in my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
The winter experience is described as the speaker's taste of freedom.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Repeating the caution against being torn apart during the cold winter dreams.
Chill me and tear me apart; cold winter dreams.
Highlighting the chilling and potentially destructive nature of cold winter dreams.
The world seemed so clear, like a wonderful diamond,
Describing the world as clear and wonderful like a diamond, portraying positivity.
Can't imagine there's meaness. Can't imagine one lie
Expressing an inability to imagine meanness or lies in this idyllic world.
But when I'm dead and gone and snow's pouring down,
Contemplating death and the peaceful burial under snow, connected to the stars.
I'm burried and covered, peaceful under millions of stars.
Visualizing a serene afterlife covered under millions of stars.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Reiteration of the theme of cold winter nights and dreams, reflecting the heart's sound.
Reflecting the sound of my heart; it's my taste of freedom.
Emphasizing that the winter experience is a taste of freedom for the speaker.
Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams,
Repeating the warning against attempts to tear the speaker apart during winter dreams.
Don't try to tear me apart; cold winter dreams
Reiterating the resistance to being torn apart during the cold winter dreams.
