Snow Day
Embracing Winter's Whispers: Matt Pond PA's Snow Day
Lyrics
Struck brightly by the winter
Reflecting on the brightness of winter.
When the snow falls thick and silent
Describing the quiet and thick descent of snow.
I can only hear you breathing
Focusing on the audible breathing, possibly of a companion.
I will follow a set of deep tracks
Expressing a willingness to follow established paths in the snow.
Other people all stay hidden
Noting the absence of others who choose to remain hidden.
As the cars rest under snow drifts
Observing cars covered by snow drifts.
So clearly the dark sky
Clear depiction of the dark winter sky.
Appears framed by cables
Imagery of the sky framed by cables.
So clearly your breath's white
Highlighting visible breath in the cold air.
As you struggle to tell
Suggesting difficulty in communicating in the cold.
That the people we have become
Reflecting on the present selves and their shared experiences.
Still lay awake hoping to hear airwaves
Expressing a sense of anticipation for communication, possibly through media.
Say snow day, snow day
Repetition emphasizing the desire for a snow day.
Snow day, snow day
-Snow day, snow day
Continued emphasis on the longing for a snow day.
Snow day, snow day
-Snow day, snow day
-As the day goes gray to grayer
Describing the progression of the day becoming grayer.
We don't think of all the struggle
Not dwelling on past struggles, focusing on the present.
In our footsteps, it's behind us
Acknowledging that past challenges are behind.
So clearly your eyes framed in the light decaying
Describing someone's eyes illuminated in fading light.
So quiet your words stood out when you were saying
Highlighting the impact of quiet words spoken in the past.
The people we have become
Reiterating the shared identity of the present selves.
All know there's more than the setting sun
Acknowledging a collective awareness beyond sunset.
Snow day, snow day
Repetition emphasizing the longing for a snow day.
Snow day, snow day
-We can want more
Expressing a desire for more in life.
We'll find out in the new morning
Believing that answers will come with a new morning.
We can want more
Reiterating the desire for more in life.
We'll wait up to hear closings
Waiting eagerly for announcements or news.
We can want more
Expressing the ongoing desire for more in life.
We'll find out in the new morning
Anticipating revelations in the new morning.
We can want more
Repeating the longing for more in life.
We'll wait up to hear closings
Continuing to wait eagerly for announcements or news.
