So, I lost my head a while ago
But you seem to have done no better
We set fire in the snow
It ain't over, I'm not done
Some do magic, some do harm
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to a straw
Who is the Alpha? What is made of cloth?
How do you say you're sorry?
And there's nothing to be afraid of
Is it dark already? How light is a light?
Do you laugh while screaming?
Is it cold outside?
One thing I know for certain
I'm pretty sure, it ain't over
I'm not done
But you seem to have done no better
We set fire in the snow
It ain't over, I'm not done
Some do magic, some do harm
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to a straw
Who is the Alpha? What is made of cloth?
How do you say you're sorry?
And there's nothing to be afraid of
Is it dark already? How light is a light?
Do you laugh while screaming?
Is it cold outside?
One thing I know for certain
I'm pretty sure, it ain't over
I'm not done

It ain't over; I'm not done (in this relationship).
Person 1 addressing Person 2, who they have presumably broken up with, they don't feel they've had closure, that they want them back, etc.
I love it, it's pertinent to me, to an extent.
I think I agree with revilodraw to some extent - except in a little broader context. It's almost as if the person wants retribution against the other person in some sort of relationship or any type of situation similar to this. (I.e. "it ain't over; how do you say you're sorry and there's nothing to be afraid of"). <br /> <br /> I wonder if the "who is the alpha" is a reference to Huxley's "Brave New World." But other than that, a powerful song with mesmerizing lyrics.
Lautre, according to the Fever Ray website this song is about her refusal to retire from making music, which makes sense too, so now I'm a little confused as to which scenario is correct, however Karin's lyrics are never completely literal, part of their appeal..<br /> <br /> I like your idea about Huxley's 'Brave New World', I'm going to listen to it now,
