Snowbird
Embracing Winter's Emotions: Shane Ashen's Snowbird Tale
Lyrics
I feel you all around
I sense your presence all around me
Falling on the ground
Falling to the ground, possibly referring to snowfall
Just for me to see
It seems like it's meant for me to witness
I'm warm enough now
I feel warmth now
But you can't let that be
However, you (the presence) won't allow that to last
You'd want me to freeze
Expressing a desire for me to endure the cold
So I'd love
Love
Love to love
Expressing a desire to love intensely
You away
Intending to love you to the extent that you go away
You away
Reiteration of the desire for you to go away through love
'Cause when I love
When I express affection towards the snow
Love the snow
It disappears, or perhaps the feelings associated with it fade
It melts away
Similar to line 12, emphasizing the transient nature of love
Like it never came
The snow melts, leaving no trace as if it never existed
Frozen in yourself
Feeling trapped within oneself, perhaps emotionally
And so you feared the spring
Fearing the arrival of spring and the changes it brings
'Cause then you'd feel the sun
The fear of experiencing warmth and brightness
As the birds fly home
Metaphorically, birds returning home with the arrival of spring
You don't hear no song
There's no music or joy, possibly reflecting a sense of isolation
'Cause now they fly alone
The birds now fly alone, emphasizing solitude
Snowbird
Addressing someone as a "Snowbird," possibly a metaphorical figure
Slow burn
A gradual, steady burn or intensity
Fly High
An encouragement or command to fly high
So I'd love
Reiteration of the desire to love intensely
Love to love
Expressing a desire to love you to the extent that you go away (repeated)
You away
Intending to love intensely to make you go away (repeated)
You away
Reiteration of the desire for you to go away through love (repeated)
'Cause when I love
When I express affection towards the snow (repeated)
Love the snow
It disappears, or perhaps the feelings associated with it fade (repeated)
It melts away
Similar to line 29, emphasizing the transient nature of love (repeated)
Like it never came
The snow melts, leaving no trace as if it never existed (repeated)
