| Ingrid Michaelson – Men of Snow Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| In my opinion, this song touches on a subject that I have not yet seen: idolatry. In this song, the girl manifests a spirit from something inanimate, and the tells it all of her uncertainties and fears, which is what we, as people, generally confide in God or a higher power. As a person, she is in search of meaning in the world, and this is difficult to find, especially when she is surrounded by all of the same, flimsy "men of snow" that she is. The realization in this song is not that life is short, but it is that we cannot treat people as if they were more than people, because as time goes by we will "melt all away". | |
