Cover art for Snowman lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

I'm taking this metaphorically, in which case it's depressing as hell. I think it's about a person who has shut down all emotion and all human contact, and is just watching life pass by until he melts/dies.

Yeah, it's depressing, but certainly not the first depressing BNL song. And it does fit in with some themes they've covered in the past.
