| Genesis – Snowbound Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I have loved this song for many years. I heard it the first time, when I was 17 y.o. When my mother died, I re-listened and the lyrics made some sense. Winter has always been a mataphor of mortality. People and orders die, snowmen melt. There is a ring of beauty and acceptance to it. This whole game of existence is heading one way... As we sleep, when we are awake, when we are young, adult, older, there is always a self-image of, what we are/ were. Everchanging thoughts and conditions play before our mind, until they fall down like snowflakes, forced to silence. Maybe this so-called reality of fellow beings is more like snowmen, melting limb by limb, image by image, finally surrendering to the flowing in of the tide, experiencing a new kind of freedom from the changes of the world? |
