Adelaide
Adelaide's Winter Lament: A Tale of Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Seeing you standing there
Observing someone present
Crying a river
Expressing intense sadness, shedding tears
It's pouring you over
Emphasizing the emotional overflow
It's drowning you dear
Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by emotions
We been wrecked and
Having experienced destruction and hardship
We been caught in this war
Caught up in a difficult situation or conflict
Come over here darlin
Inviting the person to approach
Come out of the dark with me
Encouraging someone to emerge from a difficult situation
Adelaide, Adelaide
Addressing someone named Adelaide
Tears in the snow
Describing tears in a snowy landscape
And you're cursing the crows
Expressing frustration or anger at circumstances
As they fall away
Witnessing a departure or decline
Seeing you standing there
Reiterating the observation of someone's presence
In the dead of the winter
During the harsh winter season
You wanna just run
Desire to escape from difficulties
It's the cost of the torture
Acknowledging the consequences of suffering
And you're cashing out
Symbolizing the exchange or loss of something valuable
In the night it's
During the night, taking one step at a time
One foot in front of the other one
Encouraging forward movement
So step right, hold on
Requesting to hold on during challenging times
Can you hear the river run?
Noticing the flow of time or life
Can we dive into the cold water?
Proposing to face difficulties together
Let's get out Adelaide
Expressing a desire to leave or escape with Adelaide
Come to the river
Inviting Adelaide to join near the river
Come out of the dark with me
Reiterating the encouragement to come out of darkness
Adelaide, Adelaide
Addressing Adelaide again
There's tears on the river
Describing tears present on the river
And there's crows on the banks
Noting the presence of crows, possibly symbolizing challenges
And in the air
Acknowledging challenges in the environment
And they're all saying that it's over
Indicating a collective belief that a situation has concluded
Oh don't say it's over
Resisting the acceptance that something is over
