Winter Alone
Embracing Solitude: Noah Silver's Winter Tale
Lyrics
I hear the crackle from the far side of our bedroom
I perceive the sound of crackling, possibly from a fireplace, on the far side of our bedroom.
As the flames dance across the wall
The flames are creating a dancing display on the wall.
But in this big old lonely bed the fire doesn't help at all
Despite the warmth of the fire, the large and lonely bed doesn't alleviate the feelings of loneliness.
There's an empty whiskey bottle on the dresser
An empty whiskey bottle is present on the dresser.
And there's another on the floor
Another empty whiskey bottle lies on the floor.
One to keep you off my mind and one to try to keep me warm
One bottle is consumed to distract from thoughts, and the other is an attempt to provide warmth.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Expressing a feeling of sorrow or longing with an extended "Oh."
Have never felt so cold
Feeling an intense coldness emotionally.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Expressing the need for the presence of a significant other.
Need you here to hold
Desiring physical comfort to avoid shivering through the winter alone.
So I don't have to shiver through this winter alone
Reiterating the desire to avoid solitude during the winter season.
There's something about the way your body pressed against me
Reflecting on the intimacy of having a partner's body pressed against one's own.
As you'd breathe into my chest
Recalling the sensation of a partner's breath on the chest.
But now your touch is just a memory that's torturing my head
The touch has become a memory causing mental anguish.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Repeating the feeling of intense coldness emotionally.
Have never felt so cold
Emphasizing the emotional chill experienced.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Expressing the need for the physical presence of the partner.
Need you here to hold
Reiterating the desire for companionship to avoid shivering through the winter.
So I don't have to shiver through this winter
Extending the idea of facing winter alone and expressing emotional pain.
Alone by the fire
Being alone by the fire, suggesting a state of emotional isolation.
Broken inside
Describing a sense of brokenness within.
Every drop of whiskey
Associating each drop of whiskey with memories of the partner's eyes.
Only your eyes
Linking every snowflake to the mental image of the partner's face.
Every snowflake
Continuing the theme of snowflakes and their association with the partner's face.
I just see your your face
Feeling trapped by the constant reminder of the partner's presence.
I just can't escape
Unable to escape the memories of the partner.
I just can't take it
Expressing an inability to endure the emotional pain.
Alone by the fire
Reiterating the sense of emotional isolation by the fire.
Dying inside
Describing a feeling of internal deterioration.
Cause without you
Stating that survival seems impossible without the partner.
I just can't survive
Conveying a deep emotional dependency on the partner for survival.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Repeating the intense emotional coldness.
Have never felt so cold
Emphasizing the extreme emotional chill experienced.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Expressing the urgent need for the physical presence of the partner.
Need you here to hold
Reiterating the desire for physical comfort and companionship.
Need you here to hold
Repeating the need for the partner's comforting presence.
Oh-oh-oh-oh I
Restating the urgent need for the partner's physical presence.
Need you here to hold
Reiterating the longing for the partner's comforting embrace.
So I don't have to shiver through this winter alone
Stressing the desire to avoid facing the winter alone and shivering.
