Lyrics
It was summertime
Introduction of the setting, summertime.
Just another day
Emphasizing an ordinary day.
Could have been October as the cold wind hit the bay
Reference to a colder time, possibly symbolizing a change.
You couldn't know
Expressing difficulty in understanding personal significance.
What you meant to me
The importance of the person being addressed.
The feeling felt so close, I couldn't let you see
Keeping emotions hidden.
But now you're a stranger
The person has become distant.
Your eyes seem so cold
Observation of emotional coldness in the person.
This is the time to break what couldn't be sold
Time to end a relationship that couldn't be salvaged.
What we said we made brothers
Claims of brotherhood, but acknowledgment of an inevitable end.
But still, the end would come
The anticipated conclusion.
But the end wasn't the finish
The end is not the ultimate resolution.
What we said wasn't done
Actions speak louder than words; promises were not fulfilled.
Killing frost
Repetition of "Killing frost," symbolizing a destructive force.
Killing frost
-Killing frost
-Killing frost
-This winter time goes on and on and on
Winter as a metaphor for a prolonged difficult time.
This killing frost is deep inside of me
The destructive force is deeply affecting the persona.
What to say
Uncertainty about what to express.
Does it have to mean this much
Weighing the significance of the situation.
Or can we just shrug and laugh it off
Questioning the need for such gravity or if it can be dismissed.
Laughing time
Introduction of a lighter moment, laughter.
They wipe away the wounds
Attempts to heal, but scars remain.
But time will never remove the scars
Time doesn't erase emotional wounds.
What we said we made brothers
Repetition of the theme of unfulfilled promises and conclusions.
But still, the end would come
-But the end wasn't the finish
-What we said wasn't done
-Killing frost
Reiteration of the destructive force, the "Killing frost."
Killing frost
-Killing frost - Is all that's left
-What we said we made brothers
Repetition of the theme of unfulfilled promises and conclusions.
But still, the end would come
-But the end wasn't the finish
-What we said wasn't done
-Killing frost
Intensification of the "Killing frost" as an overwhelming force.
Killing frost
-Killing frost
-Killing frost
-Killing frost
-Killing frost
-Killing frost
