Winter
Farewell to Summer: Embracing Changes in Rocco of the Snow's 'Winter'
Lyrics
Hey babe
Expression of familiarity or affectionate greeting
It’s morning
Acknowledging the current time of day
I really hate to wake you but I’m leaving
Expressing regret about waking the other person due to imminent departure
Not much of a warning
Leaving suddenly without much prior notice
But I just can’t go on like I been feeling, no
Conveying emotional distress and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs
We’re two different people
Highlighting differences between the two individuals
Who seem to be growing further everyday
Noticing a growing emotional distance between them
Maybe it’s better
Suggesting that the separation might be for the best
Maybe it’s gonna be better this way
Expressing hope for a better outcome with the separation
Cause the summer’s over and so are we
Connecting the end of the relationship with the conclusion of summer
And I’m tired of living this fantasy
Expressing fatigue with living in a fantasy rather than reality
I know we both pretend that we can live happily
Acknowledging mutual pretense of happiness in the relationship
But this ain’t enough for me, baby
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship
Cause the snow is gonna blow any day
Using snow as a metaphor for an impending change or difficulty
So let’s go and get this hurt out the way
Suggesting the need to address the pain and end the relationship
We can still be friends if that’s what you wanna do
Offering the possibility of remaining friends after the breakup
But the winter’s cold enough without you
Emphasizing the coldness of winter without the other person
Please don’t get angry
Requesting understanding and avoiding anger
We owe it to each other to understand
Highlighting the mutual obligation to comprehend the situation
We both been hurting
Acknowledging shared pain despite efforts to resolve issues
Even though it seems we’ve done all that we can
Expressing a sense of helplessness despite attempts to improve the relationship
Trust me
Requesting trust in the belief that both will eventually be better off
In no time
Assuring that positive changes will occur relatively quickly
We both are gonna end up better in the end
Believing that both individuals will benefit from the separation
I’ll always remember
Expressing the intention to cherish the positive memories
All the good times way back when
Nostalgically recalling the good times from the past
Cause the summer’s over and so are we
Reiterating the connection between the end of summer and the end of the relationship
And I’m tired of living this fantasy
Repeating the desire to move away from a fantasy existence
I know we both pretend that we can live happily
Acknowledging the mutual pretense of happiness
But this ain’t enough for me, baby
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship
Cause the snow is gonna blow any day
Repeating the metaphor of impending change or difficulty represented by snow
So let’s go and get this hurt out the way
Emphasizing the need to confront and address the pain of separation
We can still be friends if that’s what you wanna do
Offering the possibility of maintaining a friendship post-breakup
But the winter’s cold enough without you
Highlighting the emotional coldness of winter without the other person
