about
The lyrics were inspired by a friend who was in a difficult spot, and couldn't see their extraordinary talents and decency, while others could. It's a direct address, forceful but hopeful. We can all be our own nemeses at one time or another.
lyrics
WINTER MAN
(Steve Werthner, Patrick Mitchell)
VERSE 1
Sitting and waiting in your walls of stone
Through the cracks, you can hear the wind moan
Down the hall, in the stifling cold
Shuffle up the stairs, the day and you are getting old
CHORUS
Winter man
Winter man
Winter man, don’t let it break you down
Winter man
VERSE 2
There's something in the way
you say it could be me
But if I built the cell
Why would I need the key?
Aren’t we all locked and bound
by a blizzard of thought
Is the world a negative space
So easy to see what we’re not
CHORUS
Winter man, don’t let it break you down
Winter man
Winter man, get up off the frozen ground
Winter man
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
VERSE
Your life in summer, do you remember?
Keep the fire burning, stir up the embers
Feel the source, the heat within
no time like now to just begin
You think no one has felt this way
fought to get through the day
Time passes through your hands
it slips away with all your plans
But still it is in your core,
the fire that you held before
CHORUS
Winter man, don’t let it break you down
Winter man
Winter man, get up off the frozen ground
Winter man
etc.
