First Snow Falling
Reflections of Seasonal Embrace
Lyrics
First snow falling in the end of June
Remark on unexpected weather – snowfall in June, signifying an early onset of winter
early winter, maybe summer soon?
Contemplation on the possibility of summer arriving soon despite the early winter
A year has gone, but it feels more like ten
Subjective feeling of time passing slowly; a year feels much longer due to circumstances
It took some time to grow again
Time taken to emotionally recover or heal from a previous experience
We'd been waiting patient for too long
Impatience after a prolonged wait
for the summer, and for the sun to warm
Anticipation for warmth and sunlight after a prolonged period of waiting
a perfect fishing trip we'd planned
Excitement for a planned fishing trip, a metaphor for anticipated joy
the silk green water trough our hands
Imagery of touching or feeling the water, possibly symbolizing a connection with nature
The oceans finally boiling right here underneath me
Intense emotions rising to the surface, a metaphor for inner turmoil
So far away from where i´d thought i´d be
Feeling far removed from one's expected or desired place in life
And it has just exploded out in shimmering sunlight
Explosive emotions emerging into the open, possibly in a positive light
Your closer now, then you have ever been
Someone becoming emotionally closer than ever before
This early morning, winds were building up,
Describing a moment in time – early morning, hinting at a new start or awakening
we filled the boat with harps and fishing rods
Preparation and readiness for activities or journeys
A wall of clouds touching the waterline,
Visual imagery of ominous clouds, possibly signaling approaching trouble
Said snow in June must be a sign
Interpretation of unusual weather as a foreboding sign or omen
You stood there waiting when we got home
Depiction of someone patiently waiting for another person to return
You'd maid a fire on the beach, you said please come and join,
Invitation to join and find comfort, possibly suggesting relief from worries or anxieties
And all your fears will be gone.
Assurance that being together will alleviate fears
