Lyrics
As winter fall down on London town,
Describing the onset of winter in London.
I feel the walls closing in,
Sensation of confinement or pressure as winter begins.
The silver sky is turning us, to stone,
The gloomy sky has a petrifying effect on the speaker.
We hide beneath the ground,
Seeking refuge underground to escape the harshness.
Feeling so broken and,
Feeling emotionally shattered.
Cannot tell the day and night,
Loss of sense of time, day, and night.
Apart.
A sense of disconnection or confusion.
Well I think,
Expressing uncertainty and confusion.
But I'm not sure,
Expressing doubt and lack of clarity.
I don't know how,
Reflecting on how the current situation came to be.
It is, we came to be here,
Uncertain about the circumstances of existence.
Doesn't it seem strange,
Questioning the surreal nature of the present.
I mean, could it be it's not really happening now.
Contemplating the possibility that the situation is unreal.
And the animal,
Introducing the theme of an "animal" within.
Is always in your heart,
The animal symbolizes a primal or instinctual aspect within.
And the animal,
Reiteration of the enduring presence of the animal.
Will forever be waiting where you are.
The animal waits within, a constant part of the self.
Breathe in the air for me,
Pleading for empathy and understanding.
You don't know what it feels like,
Describing the unknown feeling of freedom.
To be, free,
Highlighting the complexity of true freedom.
But your innocent experience,
Caution about the deceptive nature of innocence.
Can lead you astray sometimes,
Being led astray by naive experiences.
And passion isn't always the key,
Realizing that passion alone may not solve problems.
So you dig in and I hold out,
Commitment and perseverance despite challenges.
And don't let go for nothing,
Determination to hold on despite difficulties.
Didn't you see me fall,
Reference to a fall, possibly a setback.
Unless it's not really happening at all.
Doubt about the reality of the situation.
Angel,
Introducing an "angel" alongside the animal.
And the animal,
The angel is another enduring presence in the heart.
Will always be in your heart,
Reaffirmation of the lasting impact of the angel.
Angel,
Emphasizing the permanence of the angel's influence.
And the animal,
Reference to the angel always being present.
Forever will be where you are,
Assurance that the angel remains with the individual.
One day,
Looking forward to a future realization or understanding.
You remember this,
Encouragement to remember a significant moment.
When all has come to pause,
Reflection on a pause or break in life.
One day,
Encouraging self-recognition and awareness.
You remember you are,
Encouragement to remember one's true identity.
Not the one you think you are,
Realization that the self may be different from perceived.
As winter left of London town,
Describing a change in the emotional state.
I feel my heart opening,
Sensing an emotional opening or vulnerability.
So I, turn around and breathe you in,
Turning towards someone significant for solace.
Again
Repetition of seeking comfort and connection.
