Snow
Emotional Depths of Winter: Little Cub's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Winter blues
Feeling of sadness or melancholy associated with winter
I smile 'cause you want me too
Putting on a smile because someone else desires or expects it
The reddest of eyes
Eyes that are extremely red, possibly due to crying or fatigue
The coldest goodbyes from you
Saying goodbye in a manner that feels emotionally cold or distant
But it's not snow that has been falling
Contrary to the expectation of snow, something else is causing a similar feeling or effect
I watched you dance last week
Observing someone dancing a week ago
Round this I see streets
Surroundings, streets, or environment that's being observed
But it's no the cold
Despite the cold, another factor is causing distress
When this has been bothering me
A particular issue that has been troubling the speaker
And it's not snow glistening on my cheek
Not actual snow, but something else resembling glistening on the speaker's cheek
Another silent night
A night marked by silence and possibly religious significance
Just a holy night
A peaceful or sacred night
With just a quiet goodbye
A departure or farewell that happens quietly
Feel the night is closing in
Feeling a sense of enclosure or darkness as the night progresses
See the lights in my childish grin
Seeing lights while displaying a childlike grin
The city is cold
The city feels unwelcoming or emotionally cold
The boats are all frozen in
Boats frozen in place due to cold weather
But in the snow why I am sinking
Despite being in the snow, feeling like sinking or being weighed down
And you're the chip on my shoulder
Referring to someone as a persistent source of annoyance or discomfort
In a world of somber faces
A world filled with people displaying gloomy expressions
Would you know who's really sad
Identifying the genuinely sad person among the crowd
When there's one who's sees that smiling
Recognizing someone who appears happy but may be hiding sadness
Who knows is lucky will watching hard
Being fortunate to notice hidden emotions by paying close attention
'Cause I know that there are limits
Awareness of limits to feeling a certain way
To the days I feel like this
Mentioning the days when the speaker experiences similar feelings
But these angels that we may have disobeyed
Suggesting the potential disobedience of angels in the context of a troubled situation
Another silent night
Similar to line 12, another night marked by silence and potential religious significance
Just a holy night
A night that holds significance or sanctity despite being silent
With just a quiet goodbye
Another quiet departure or farewell
