Red Winter
Red Winter's Fiery Confessions: Love, Loss, and the City of Angels
Lyrics
LA is dripping in winter
Los Angeles is experiencing a winter season
The sun is burned, forgot
The sun is scorched or absent, forgetting a place of warmth
Where you were warm
A place or time where comfort was once found
Where you said the good words
Recollection of positive affirmations or promises made
And I believed it
The singer believed in those affirmations or promises
What is it about me that scares you about you
Questioning what aspect of the singer frightens the other person
One eyed king
Metaphorical reference to someone powerful yet flawed
See the world in blues, it's a shame
Viewing the world with a sense of sadness or melancholy
All the colors wasted on you
Feeling like the other person doesn't appreciate the beauty of life
The devil's in the details
Problems exist in the finer aspects or specifics of situations
And I found you by the light in your eyes
Discovering the person through their expressive eyes
Needle in a haystack, you prick and I bleed
Difficult to find or understand, causing pain when discovered
I bleed in colors you don't see
The pain experienced is not visible to the other person
But, baby you fuck like New York City
Metaphorically describing the intensity and familiarity of intimacy
Dirty and home to me
Feeling comfort and familiarity in a raw or unrefined setting
Thirty day scream
Thirty days of intense emotional expression or agony
Sweet, soaked melody
A pleasing, soaked harmony in the midst of pain
You slip through my fingers like you've never been in this skin
The person is elusive, slipping away easily
The world fell in love with you, well that's how the world ends
A cynical view on love and its eventual downfall
Because you'd burn it down before you'd let it keep you somehow
Preference for destruction rather than being held back by something
And I'm sorry that I ever set foot in that mother fucking town
Regret for being in a place or situation causing pain
Bleeding red like the words you said
Feeling hurt by words spoken in anger or pain
Red like the the fucking bed
Symbolizing intense emotions or experiences
Red like the night of Jane's
Referring to a significant event or moment in the past
Red like this crazy pain
Intense pain or emotions represented by the color red
The sun has fallen
Metaphorical indication of an ending or a loss
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Expressing deep emotional pain or distress
Red like the warm that it was at the start
Recalling warmth and affection from the past
Red like the roses that fell from my hips
Symbolism of lost or fallen love
The honey that flowed from my ruby, red lips
Describing sensual or desirable attributes
Red like the text I saw by mistake
Referring to a message or revelation causing distress
Red like this burning, this fire, this ache
Symbolizing intense feelings, passion, or pain
Red like the colors, you don't care to see
Unappreciated aspects of the singer
Well, I guess that you've never really seen me
Realization that the other person doesn't truly understand
I'd like to meet this other version of me
Desire to meet the idealized version created in the other person's mind
The one you wrote in your head and believe
Belief in a false or exaggerated perception
The one you imagine is moonstruck and sad
Imagined as someone suffering from unrequited love
Pining and bitter, stalking and mad
Describing an imagined obsessive and distressed persona
Head to the glass with her hands full of fists
Visualizing someone angry or frustrated, hitting glass
Who never quite felt something like this
Someone who hasn't experienced a particular emotion before
Who purrs to your rhythm, who beats to your drum
Adaptation or alignment with the other person's rhythm
Silent
Quiet, non-responsive behavior
Oh honey, I've come, the fat lady has sung
Indicating a conclusion or resolution to a situation
Have you seen her lately? Do you know her I don't
Enquiring about someone's whereabouts or state
She's somewhere in that me that you wrote
The imagined version of the singer exists in the other person's perception
The one that you left and should have called
Regret for not maintaining contact or connection
It's too bad you don't know her, and you don't know me at all
