Winter for a Year Lyrics

Cover art for Winter for a Year lyrics by Arcade Fire

It does have a few references to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe... the whole year-long winter and jackets turning into branches. But I love the meaning he gives them:

"Oh my god a winter for a year Oh my god a winter for a year And I cleaned out the back of my wardrobe for a year Jackets never turn into branches Not while you're not here"

He's stuck in the neverending winter until his love returns, it's impossible to visit their magic place while she's gone.
