A Wintry Silence
Unraveling Love: A Wintry Silence Revealed
Lyrics
now we're just the two of us
Expressing the current state of being alone with someone.
and then there will be one
Anticipating a future where only one person remains.
all we have treasured
Reflecting on valued possessions or memories.
will soon be gone
Acknowledging the imminent loss of what was treasured.
we cannot say what happened
Uncertainty about past events and the future.
and we don't know what may come
Expressing a lack of knowledge about what lies ahead.
all these emotions
Questioning the disappearance of emotions.
where have they gone
Wondering where emotions have gone.
silences between us
Describing solidified silences as scorn in the relationship.
have solidified as scorn
Characterizing the silence between them as disdain.
for every xmas rose we had
Referencing past joyful moments represented by "xmas rose."
the heart has grown a thorn
Indicating that those joyful moments now cause pain.
we have watched in wonder
Observing the passing of significant events with amazement.
at the things that passed us by
Reflecting on missed opportunities or experiences.
all this commotion
Describing past commotion or chaos in their lives.
how hard we tried
Expressing the difficulty in trying hard to manage it all.
the shadows of the years
Noticing the visible effects of passing time on a person.
have drawn lines across your face
Imagining lines on the face as symbols of life experiences.
as we go on pretending
Pretending to have everything in order despite challenges.
we have everything in place
Emphasizing the facade of having everything under control.
breathe the fires of this world
Invoking powerful and recurring challenges in life.
over and over again
Repetition of facing difficulties repeatedly.
breathe until the smouldering ashes
Continuing to endure hardships until they leave a lasting mark.
spell out our names
Symbolic representation of enduring challenges engraved in memory.
for every xmas rose we got
Recalling joyful moments with a recurring theme of pain.
our hearts have grown a thorn
Expressing the lasting impact of joy turning into pain.
the silences between us
Reiterating solidified silences between them as scorn.
now solidified as scorn
Emphasizing the permanence of the strained silence in the relationship.
