A Pitcher of Summer Lyrics
Summer ends and his "garden" (his Self) is frozen and covered in snow. Bad times ensue and the garden is in a sad state and slowly dying, all the beauty and happiness as he sees it is gone. No flowers, no life, and no colour anywhere (a state of depression). He finds a piece of summer in his mind, the memories and feelings before everything was like this ("And I lifted my piece of summer Like a piece of memory or a dream ...Like these, caught on film"). He then uses these to break out of the state he's in and restore beauty and colour to his world; ("Used with vigilance, a Pitcher of Summer stirs a memory into swooning, And bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch their limbs into the sky While snow falls quietly all around.")
That's what this means to me
Oh, and I think the last line is very important, because it tells that he didn't magically make winter go away. The snow was still falling, but his "garden" flourished anyway; winter suddenly wasn't so bad anymore. It's about changing yourself to be happy with the circumstamces that you can't change, and once you've done that, you might discover that Winter is beautiful in its own way.

i don't understanddd
Really, I don't know if you really could say for sure what this song is about, but I take it as holding on to something that's inevitably going to die or end. Maybe a relationship. Hiding these turns the once beautiful pitcher into something else. It could also simply explain how someone could deal with an transition. I haven’t asked Toby about this particular song, so I’m not sure myself. This is just how I interpret it, and that’s what Toby wants you to do for yourself.
what does ctheric mean? this has been bothering me
I don't understand how some people can hear such a beautiful work of art then demand to know plainly what it means. Anyways, these lyrics evoke incredible imagery. Don't try to belittle the meaning by focusing on what it means to you, but instead what it MEANS.
