In The White Lyrics

Cover art for In The White lyrics by Katatonia

A few people here are in the right direction, it seems. I believe it's someone who has finally found a potential lover, whom both parties are hesitant to be with one another.

"To overcome this I become one with The quiet cold of late november If you don't see I'll remain unseen Until there's time to be remembered"

At this part, the character is stating that their afraid to imply to the other that they want to further things. And until the other character finally sees this somehow, and (most importantly) acts upon the other's desires, then they will remain the same- Alone.


"So I had a green light I was lost in city lights Not far from a try This is not our last goodbye"

This part expresses how the character might of had a bold chance to show the other how much they felt about them. Rather it be a kiss, an explanation, or any kind of 'try' or attempt. They however, are having a hard time reaching that point after seeing them through both of their darkness. And finally this person has finally realized that they have been seeking this person their whole life.
