Depression occurs after a tough breakup. esp when you weren't the one who got dumped and was blind sighted to the last minute. you have to fake until you make it if you aren't strong enough to make it honestly. cuz you have to get over that person in order to be happy again. you just have to or it will eat you alive and you will be your worst enemy Duh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/09 i think it's about depression. if anyone here has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder they'd understand that everything feels cold and lonely like "winter". waiting for a "spring" when everything may be okay or at least better. beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/2/09 You can interpret this song any way you want to, but I feel like it really is about winter being so cold, dark, and lonely. I love the bit about drinking to stay warm and to kill selected memories. And I don't think Conor is a bad songwriter or singer, I think he's absolutely phenomenal. His style doesn't fit cultural norms. Who knows what hell that boy has been through, but at least he makes something beautiful from it. I would go as far to say that he's my favorite musician ever. Re:Meh | Reviewer: Jess | 2/16/09 Babe, if you hate Conor for those things, I think you missed the point of being a fan. Easy Lucky Free, or Digital Ash, for that matter, is his WORST album. Personally, I think the Mystic Valley is his BEST work, but it isn't Bright Eyes. The people that love bright eyes, love them because of how bad Conor is. He can't sing, he can barely write, let alone form a cognitive sentence. He is a fuck up, and he fucks up in front of the camera. He writes the things you wish you could write when you are withdrawing from heroin, or getting your heart dragged through the coals. Stop reading so much into his lyrics and his narcissism.. and just love him for the terrible vocals and mediocre guitar player he represents. Interesting | Reviewer: Chico | 1/24/09 It's interesting to see an array of interpretations so different to mine in a song i thought was so blatantly obvious. I believe the song speaks exactly of what it says: being stuck somewhere. Of course it's deeper than that. it means being stuck in life. what I call "my life is hurting". No girl, no job, no future, no anything. Just "dead and eternal snow" that keeps me from going further. you get the gist of it. But i definitely can see where Karly is coming from with the cocaine bit, it's a really interesting interpretation. Anyone knows if Conor had drug problems (might be an obvious question but bear with me, i've only just got into Bright Eyes) it's about heroin withdrawls | Reviewer: karly | 4/28/08 this song is about heroin. if you have used or know anything about withdrawls it's obvious. it stays in your system for 3 days when you're withdrawling you are so cold you cant even move and you wish you were dead. i love this song even though the truth of it is rather desperately morbid. waiting for the spring symbolizes a new beggining which translates to being clean. alot of people refer to heroin as a girl so when he refers to "her" although it may seem like he is talking about a past lover he actually is not. at least that's how i interpret it. depression | Reviewer: tony | 4/7/08 I think the song is about losing someone important to you be it a girlfriend breaking up with you or someone close who passes away and feeling that your future is broken and you need to build a new one and how hard it is when you already saw what you wanted. i love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/08 when i heard this song for the first time last year, it was the perfect song at the perfect moment... it was as if the song was written for me. but i know that's impossible. Meh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/07 Conor can be a good songwriter at times, but the lyrics in this song are ridiculous, and parts of this song make me want to stop listening to him altogether (the way he screams the word "shit" in this song pretty much embodies everything that I dislike about him as an artist). You're much better off listening to songs like Easy, Lucky, Free or The Calendar Hung Itself, in my opinion; those are some of his best. your thinking to much into it | Reviewer: tyler | 10/30/07 hes actually talking about winter. it happens to some people, they get very depressed during the winter cause its cold and everything dies. and it seems like they almost broke up or started dating in the winter and this is his first one without "her" Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
