Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Sometimes out my window
I notice that you've been cryin' over him
And I wonder why you just don't
Kick him to the curb instead of bein' with him
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
Some nights I can hear you
Screamin' on the phone over somethin' that he did
And I wonder what can I do
To make you throw him out so you can let me in
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
I'll melt the snow
I notice that you've been cryin' over him
And I wonder why you just don't
Kick him to the curb instead of bein' with him
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
Some nights I can hear you
Screamin' on the phone over somethin' that he did
And I wonder what can I do
To make you throw him out so you can let me in
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
I'll, I'll melt the snow, I'll, I'll melt the snow
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks it's gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine

You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
I'll melt the snow

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
This song as been out for awhile no and no comment..i guess i'll comment my first song.. This song is a really great song and its about a girl who has a man and he treats her like shyt.. "Summer Time" is referring to the good times they had and "Winter" is about the bad stuff he does to her and the Author of the song wants to make everything better by melting the "Snow" of her and get rid of the bad things if she was just with him.
Very self explanatory lyrics. But the melody and the music is ruined by this "sad story" about the girl. I thought this will be something to do with life, not some sad story about a girl being mistreated. Lyrics should have been something else, something one can sing to a girl.
Weirdly, so less comments. I thought this song was really hot in the charts!
