Alchemy Lyrics
Been living under frozen sky,
we've all got ways that we get by.
You changed your name,
the one you had, it didn't fit right.
And now you dream of something else
if you could sleep nights.
I know, so tonight I'll stay here with you.
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
We'll look for reasons for why we're here,
We'll blame the season for this fear.
I'll say everything'll work out
like I know what I'm talking about.
But all this snow keeps piling up,
we dig, it's never deep enough.
Just need a change in atmosphere.
It's like winter's earlier each year.
Sidewalks across this town
are icing up, we're sliding down.
Look for a place to drown, find a bar a block a way.
You're just a kid, bruising up.
If I could tell you
how many times you gotta fall
before you break through
I would, so tonight I'll stay here with you.
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
We'll look for reasons for why we're here,
We'll blame the season for this fear.
I'll say everything'll work out
like I know what I'm talking about.
But all this snow keeps piling up,
we dig, it's never deep enough.
Cold drinks and snow falls, I'll pick up your phone calls.
I get too wrapped up in my own shit.
We order one more round and sit.
I know when you're living under sheets of snow
it can look like the worlds gone black
but remember that the sun comes back.
At least they say it does. [x3]

I think this song is about the ways you get by in life when it seems meaningless, and how you keep doing things that don't help, probably because you don't know any other way.
"But all this snow keeps piling up We dig, it's never deep enough."
Also, maybe enjoying it a little bit? But yet still knowing that something should change, yet doing nothing about it, just keep ignoring responsibility?
"So tonight I'll stay here with you. There's nothing else I'd rather do. We'll look for reasons for why we're here, We'll blame the season for this fear."
Sometimes realizing that you're just in a pointless cycle, but you keep doing what's pointless: "I get too wrapped up in my own s*** We order one more round and sit"
^that was my roommate. what a great guy he is.
^that was my roommate. what a great guy he is.
im wrong.
im wrong.
I always imagined the singer singing this to a younger version of himself just tellin him that he'll make it through and all that jazz.
This song’s emotion and lyrics really resonate with my current state of mind- Accepting the reality of a difficult, crumbling relationship that you’re still afraid to lose and knowing that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
