The time has come to close your eyes time has come to realize
Time has come for saddling down time has come in sleep to drown
From life from your life from life is this your life
From life this is your life from life this was your life

If you should die die in winter if you should die die in winter
If you should die if you should die die in winter die in winter

Die in winter

The time has come to breathe no more time has come to see god's shore
Time has come to realize time has come to pay the price
For life for your life for life for your life
For life this is your life for life this was your life

If you should die die in winter if you should die die in winter
If you should die if you should die die in winter die in winter

Die in winter

Come to me you are the chosen you will see your eyes stay frozen
Black coffin waits for only a chance to pick you up oh what a romance
In life in your life in your life once in your life
Once in your life this is your life this was your life this was your life

If you should die die in winter if you should die die in winter
If you should die if you should die die in winter die in winter

In winter

You will live on in people's mind 'though for a minute of mankind
Nature it dies in winter too but will be awoken in contrast to you

If you should die die in winter if you should die die in winter
If you should die if you should die die in winter die in winter

Die in winter

In winter

    Perhaps if you die in winter, you'll stink less due to decomposition being slowed from the cold. I think this song is about the inevitable cycle of life and death, and permanence, and perhaps a little cynicism. It pokes fun, just a bit.

    all of :wumpscut: is about mortality.
    rudy (the only bandmember) calls the music style "endzeit electronica" (zeit being the german word for time).

    i think the reason he says "die in winter" is because everything else is dying anyway...so why not join them?

    i agree with the above...

    i LOVE this line: "Nature it dies in winter too but will be awoken in contrast to you"

    this is one of the best songs of :W: that says his true view of his promised land. the video of Die in Winter give a good example as well as all thta is left is a dead wasteland; no humans to kill the earth, nothing

    I thought the song was about presevering the body, maybe referencing Otzi (The Iceman). I shall have to watch the clip for this though, Driadon's interpretation sounds better.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
