Faintly Falling Ashes Lyrics
another senseless week
of crowded thoughts
and crooked teeth
morning frost and frozen sidewalks
all those days that burn inside us
swell up in the silence
of snowflakes falling magically
but the magic fades into the memory
sleigh bells ringing
laughing all the way
cold hands of winter grasp
as i gasp for breath
is this my last?
no thoughts of dying
no more self loathing for today
so deck the halls with drunken folly
swallow resolutions
line our stomachs with illusions
car engines sputtering
like these smoke filled dreams
mistletoes and colored lightbulbs
and the kiss of winter
fades into the memory
angels singing
lift me off the ground
yesterday is frozen in the revery
tomorrow is melting
let's raise our glasses
to these faintly falling ashes
of crowded thoughts
and crooked teeth
morning frost and frozen sidewalks
all those days that burn inside us
swell up in the silence
of snowflakes falling magically
sleigh bells ringing
laughing all the way
cold hands of winter grasp
as i gasp for breath
is this my last?
no thoughts of dying
no more self loathing for today
swallow resolutions
line our stomachs with illusions
car engines sputtering
like these smoke filled dreams
mistletoes and colored lightbulbs
and the kiss of winter
fades into the memory
angels singing
lift me off the ground
yesterday is frozen in the revery
tomorrow is melting
let's raise our glasses
to these faintly falling ashes

i love this song so much, i love how it begins its i agree with antisocial, yea i think its about savoring life, and kind of looking back on what your life has summed up
this song is just...it's about walking around in the late fall/early winter times to me. it's just...a literal stroll down memory lane
It's about CHRISTMAS.
It seems like he's saying that since it's the holidays and it's supposed to be a happy time, he's trying to put away all of his problems and frustrations that have built up in the past year.
he's trying to enjoy christmas while keeping in mind it's all an illusion, a distraction that we should cherish
best Christmas song ever
