Six Feet
Eternal Thaw: Small Million's Six Feet Beneath the Snow
Lyrics
That chill is in the air
Reference to a cold atmosphere or emotional distance.
That I have learned to bear
Acceptance and endurance of difficulties.
The only joy I know
The speaker finds joy in a specific circumstance.
Six feet beneath the snow
Symbolic depth, alluding to being buried or hidden.
Six feet beneath the snow
Reiteration of the buried state, reinforcing the symbolism.
I loved you better in the spring
Expressing a preference for a past time (spring) in the relationship.
That’s when I felt like someone’s something
Feeling valued and significant during the mentioned period.
Oh back when I thought I had it all
Reflecting on a time when the speaker felt complete.
Six months before the fall
Timing reference to a decline or negative change in the relationship.
Six months before the fall
Reiteration of the specific timeframe before a decline.
Now more than half my soul
More than half of the speaker's essence or vitality is lost.
Locked in a world below
Being emotionally confined or trapped in a difficult situation.
And time will tell the truth
Belief in the revealing nature of time.
And bring me back to you
Hope for reconciliation or return to a positive state.
But this old year will come around
A recognition that time moves in cycles, implying change.
And I’ll be up from underground
Anticipation of emerging from a challenging situation.
Oh the coldest heart you ever saw
Describing a very cold and distant emotional state.
Six tears to start the thaw
Symbolic tears as a starting point for emotional thawing.
Six tears to start the thaw
Reiteration of the tears as a catalyst for change.
I’ll love you better in the spring
Expressing a desire to improve the relationship in the future.
I wanna feel like someone’s something
Wanting to feel valued and significant once again.
Oh the only joy I know
Reiteration of finding joy in a specific circumstance.
Six feet beneath the snow
Restating the buried or hidden state, suggesting ongoing challenges.
Six feet beneath the snow
Repetition of the symbolic burial, emphasizing a persistent difficulty.
