Lovely, Dark and Deep
Whispers Amidst Snow: Embracing Life's Uncharted Paths
Lyrics
Whose woods are these I think I know
Reflecting on the ownership of the woods.
His house is in the village though
Indicating the owner's residence in the nearby village.
He will not see us stopping here
Assuring that the owner won't notice the speaker's presence.
While these woods fill up with snow
Observing the snow filling up the woods.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
Admiring the beauty of the woods described as lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep
Acknowledging unfulfilled promises despite the tempting surroundings.
And miles to go before I sleep
Expressing the need to continue the journey with significant distance remaining.
Miles and miles to go
Emphasizing the extensive journey ahead.
So let the snow fall down
Welcoming the falling snow in December.
December paves the ground
Describing the snow covering the ground.
And footprints disappear like the secrets they hold
Comparing disappearing footprints to the concealment of secrets.
Come with me-
Inviting someone to join the speaker.
I don't usually explore
Admitting a lack of exploration in usual circumstances.
I've turned back here before
Recalling previous decisions to turn back.
We're opening up a door that we can't close
Opening a door that cannot be closed, possibly alluding to irreversible choices.
With lies as white as snow
Describing lies with the metaphor of white snow.
Between the woods and frozen lake
Referencing a location between the woods and a frozen lake.
We're driven as the snow to make
Highlighting the determination to stop despite the absence of a farmhouse.
A stop without a farmhouse near
Identifying the time as the darkest evening of the year.
The darkest evening of the year
Suggesting a connection between the snow and the speaker's motivation.
So let the snow fall down
Repeating the invitation to embrace the falling snow in December.
December paves the ground
Reiterating the description of snow covering the ground.
And footprints disappear like the secrets they hold
Reemphasizing the idea of footprints disappearing, concealing secrets.
Come with me -
Continuing the invitation to join the speaker.
I don't usually explore
Reiterating a lack of exploration in normal circumstances.
I've turned back here before
Recalling past decisions to turn back, suggesting hesitation.
We're opening up a door that we can't close
Reiterating the irreversible nature of the opened door, marked by lies.
With lies as white as snow
Ending with a repetition of lies symbolized by the whiteness of snow.
