its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Winter is creeping up slowly
The chill in the air is noticeably there,
Will I make it back in time for tea.
A snowflake is glistening on my nose
It reminds me of the old days I suppose
Where we all sat around the burning fire...
You can't dissuade me anymore... oh no...
You can't dissuade me anymore... oh no...
Outside is calling my name, perhaps it will never
Be the same, but winter is coming for me now!
Snow... on mountain tops... snow... snow!
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no,
The winter is coming for me, and I'm gonna let it help me,
Because it's warmer out there than it ever was in here!
The wind is screaming to me, and if I go now I will be free,
I'll choose to leave the fire for the snow
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no,
Winter is creeping up slowly
The chill in the air, is noticeable there,
Will I make it back
Will I make it back
Will I make it back in time for tea?
The chill in the air is noticeably there,
Will I make it back in time for tea.
A snowflake is glistening on my nose
It reminds me of the old days I suppose
Where we all sat around the burning fire...
You can't dissuade me anymore... oh no...
You can't dissuade me anymore... oh no...
Outside is calling my name, perhaps it will never
Be the same, but winter is coming for me now!
Snow... on mountain tops... snow... snow!
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no,
The winter is coming for me, and I'm gonna let it help me,
Because it's warmer out there than it ever was in here!
The wind is screaming to me, and if I go now I will be free,
I'll choose to leave the fire for the snow
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no
You can't dissuade me anymore oh no,
Winter is creeping up slowly
The chill in the air, is noticeable there,
Will I make it back
Will I make it back
Will I make it back in time for tea?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
