Lyrics
Nobody cares for her protection
Nobody is concerned about her safety and well-being.
Another body to add to their collection
She becomes just another casualty in their list of victims.
I'll be damned
The situation is alarming or shocking.
Her wish it crumbles in his hands
Her desires or dreams fall apart in someone else's grasp.
The cold old man
Refers to a cold and indifferent person, likely in a position of power.
He's far too gone to understand
The cold old man is too detached to comprehend the situation.
And so it goes
Describes the ongoing, repetitive nature of the events.
Put on a show and
Suggests a facade or performance being put on.
Reap what they sow
Consequences will be faced for their actions.
Angel in the snow
The person in focus is portrayed as an innocent and vulnerable figure.
Somebody fantasizes affection
Someone daydreams about showing affection to her.
But anybody will look in her direction
However, anyone is hesitant to genuinely care for her.
I understand
The singer comprehends the situation or feelings involved.
He holds her heart between his hands
Someone holds her emotions delicately in their control.
The cold old man
Refers again to the cold and heartless individual.
He's reckless and he will abandon
This person is reckless and ready to abandon her.
And so it goes
Reiterates the recurring pattern of events.
Put on a show and
Emphasizes the theatrical aspect of the situation.
Reap what they sow
They will face the repercussions of their actions.
Angel in the snow
Reaffirms her angelic, innocent nature despite the harsh surroundings.
And so it goes
Repeats the cyclical and relentless nature of events.
Put on a show and
Highlights the performative aspect of their actions.
Reap what they sow
They will face the consequences of their deeds.
Angel in the snow
Reiterates her symbolic role as an innocent figure in a harsh environment.
