Lyrics
It's a call to the wind
Expressing a connection or communication with the wind.
You've been doomed from the start
Suggesting a sense of predestined misfortune or difficulty from the beginning.
There's a tear in your heart once again
Highlighting emotional pain or vulnerability.
But you...
Transitioning to the listener or a specific person.
You find solace in sin
Finding comfort or refuge in sinful behavior.
Snow as white as your skin
Symbolizing purity with snow and drawing a comparison to skin color.
Of a corpse, but with low self-esteem
Describing a lifeless body with low self-esteem.
And I know...
Transitioning to the singer's understanding or acknowledgment.
What it's like, to feel codependent
Relating to the experience of being emotionally reliant on someone else.
But I want you to know that I wrote you this song and I...
Introducing the fact that the song is dedicated to the listener.
I meant every word that I sung
Affirming the sincerity of the lyrics sung.
It's a quarter past 1,
Setting the time as late at night, possibly emphasizing loneliness.
But it's something to do when you're dumb and you're young
Justifying the act of writing the song as an activity for the inexperienced and youthful.
But I... I wrote the book on brooding and self-deprecation
Claiming expertise in brooding and self-deprecation.
Let's not pretend for a sec that you needed all your medication
Rejecting the idea that all prescribed medication is necessary.
Now I'm vexed...
Expressing frustration or annoyance.
We would write, and argue semantics
Recalling past interactions involving writing and disagreements over meanings.
Your rehashed inhibition does nothing but falter romantics
Criticizing repetitive inhibitions that hinder romantic relationships.
What's a word from the wise if you're never through bitching?
Questioning the value of wisdom if accompanied by constant complaining.
Your mother's a wreck on the floor in the kitchen
Depicting a distressed mother on the floor.
Your father's all packed, and he left her alone
Describing the departure of the father, leaving the mother alone.
But I'm still awake and avoiding the phone
Expressing wakefulness and avoidance of communication.
Because your picture's still there on the back of my screen
Referring to a lingering image of the listener on a digital screen.
With the text that you left but I still can't believe
Mentioning a text message left by the listener, creating disbelief.
That you're gone... and you're never coming back
Acknowledging the permanent absence of the listener.
Because you're gone... gone... gone...
Repeating the realization of the listener's departure.
For as long as I live, this will never subside
Expressing enduring emotional pain and its physical manifestation.
It's the pain in my chest, it's the last time I cried
Describing a memorable and painful experience.
You're the calm and the storm, a break from the norm
Characterizing the listener as both calming and stormy, deviating from the norm.
You exist in my heart and the songs I perform
Highlighting the listener's presence in the singer's heart and creative expressions.
But you left without saying your final goodbyes
Expressing regret about the absence of a proper goodbye.
I regret never saying I love you but I hope you know
Acknowledging the failure to express love while hoping the listener understands.
That despite all your snow...
Despite the metaphorical "snow" (issues), the singer cannot face loneliness in winters.
I can't spend the winters alone
Reinforcing the inability to endure winter solitude without the listener.
