Lyrics
WHEN THE BELLS RING
Anticipation or commencement of an event or occasion signaled by the ringing of bells.
Snow storms blow
Metaphorical reference to challenging or turbulent times.
Glittering winds and the chill creeps in
Description of harsh weather conditions and the gradual intrusion of a cold atmosphere.
Now the winter comes
Arrival of the winter season.
And the light begins to fade
Symbolic indication of diminishing brightness or hope.
I bid farewell to the cold outside
Seeking refuge or solace from the cold within a person or relationship.
In you I'll hide away
Expressing a desire to find comfort and safety in another person.
Fears have fled
Overcoming anxieties or worries.
Tears we've cried out loud
Recognition of past emotional distress manifested through tears.
From frozen lips
Imagery portraying a state of being emotionally frozen or inhibited.
The Christmas song resounds
Reference to the traditional music associated with Christmas, signifying a familiar and comforting element.
Just for today
Emphasis on the present moment, implying a temporary state.
Wherever we go
Affirmation of feeling a sense of belonging or comfort regardless of location.
With you I'm home
Feeling at home and secure with a particular person.
When the bells ring I got something to believe in
Belief and hope inspired by the ringing of bells, symbolizing faith and positivity.
When the bells ring I got something to believe in
Reiteration of finding faith and belief through the ringing of bells, highlighting the significance of this act.
Build a shelter for a day
Symbolic creation of a safe haven for a short period.
Leave the world at the door
Intention to leave worldly concerns behind.
Seconds become years
Time perception: the passing of moments until change occurs.
Until the frost begins to thaw
Indication of the eventual end of a cold period or difficulty.
Caught between the past
Feeling caught between past experiences and future uncertainties.
And the days we've not yet seen
Acknowledgment of unexperienced future days.
Let the drums sound out
Call for unity and celebration through the sound of drums.
Stand together on this eve
Encouragement to stand united during this time.
Just for today
Emphasis on the current moment mirroring line 15.
Wherever we go
Reiteration of feeling a sense of belonging regardless of the location.
With you I'm home
Feeling of being at home and secure with a specific person, echoing line 17.
When the bells ring I got something to believe in
Continued faith and belief triggered by the ringing of bells.
Hold my hand in the dark
Seeking reassurance and connection in the darkness.
Let the North Wind dance
Metaphorical suggestion to embrace the challenges represented by the North Wind.
When the bells ring I got something to believe in
Reaffirmation of finding faith and belief through the ringing of bells, akin to lines 18 and 20.
