| Snow Patrol – What If The Storm Ends? Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I will agree with both interpretations; being that song writers generally don't intend their lyrics to mean just one thing or another. But rather left to the listener and their own perspective. I've listened to this song many times at many stages of my relationship up to break-up and every time it makes sense in a different meaning than the other. Right now, for me it's retrospective and I can see that after all is said and done (after the storm ended, the relationship with all its honeymoon, ups and downs), I wish he had remained the same, not the liar he turned out to be. I always asked him not to change. So, back to the song, it's said in a moment (not literal, could be a stage of the relationship) where you perceive everything as being perfect. Things couldn't have been better. It's so perfect that it scares you. You want to be consumed by it, by him, by her; your partner and not worry about the next moment or the next fallout. You wish time would freeze right there and then... Just my take. But like I said, no interpretation is ever wrong, even if the songwriter wrote it with certain perspective, you could interpret it differently and it would still make sense. That's the beauty of music!! I enjoy reading different perspectives as it gives me insight about other people's worlds, feelings and experiences. It's a rich world. | |
