To the Stars
Finding Light in Winter's Darkness
Lyrics
I spent all winter watching you from my roof
The speaker spent the entire winter observing someone from their rooftop.
Each night you shifted, looked down here with disproof
The person being watched seemed skeptical or disapproving each night.
Freezing all winter, the night sky was my warmth
Despite the cold weather, the night sky provided comfort to the speaker.
Watching planes go by, the large glow to the North
The speaker watched planes passing by, especially noting a prominent glow to the North.
And even when the skies are cloudy
Even during cloudy skies, the speaker continued gazing into the dark with doubt.
Staring into the dark and doubting
Expressing uncertainty and skepticism while staring into the darkness.
There is one star that shines through
Amid doubt, there's one star that consistently shines through, symbolizing someone special.
That one is you
This particular star represents the person the speaker is watching, implying a deep connection.
My tattered soul, the cold I used to heal
The speaker used the cold of winter to heal their worn-out soul.
Sat there for so long, my fingers couldn’t feel
Being in the cold for so long, the speaker's fingers became numb.
I thought about, all the fireworks
Reflecting on fireworks, possibly alluding to past excitement or celebrations.
All while reflecting, how could this get much worse?
The speaker contemplates how things could worsen while reflecting on their situation.
And even when I’m feeling drowsy
Even in a drowsy state, the speaker remains aware of the challenges of winter.
These winter days are lousy
Expressing dissatisfaction with the bleakness of winter days.
You’re the one thing that picks me up
The person being observed is the one positive thing that lifts the speaker's spirits.
Please save me from this disrupt
A plea for the observed person to save the speaker from disruption or distress.
And even when the skies are cloudy
Reiteration of the persistent doubt during cloudy skies but acknowledging the shining star.
Staring into the dark and doubting
Continued uncertainty while staring into the darkness.
There is one star that shines through
Reaffirmation of the special significance of the one star that shines through the doubt.
That one is you
Reiterating that the shining star represents the person who holds great importance to the speaker.
And even when I’m feeling drowsy
Even in drowsy states, the speaker remains aware of the challenges posed by winter.
These winter days are lousy
Expressing dissatisfaction with the bleakness of winter days, echoing sentiments from line 14.
You’re the one thing that picks me up
Reaffirmation that the observed person is the uplifting force in the speaker's life.
Please save me from this disrupt
A desperate plea for the observed person to rescue the speaker from disruption or disturbance.
