This is the first of a trilogy about loss. Do You Believe In Shame was about grieving, Ordinary World about moving on. Winter Marches on is, in my opinion, about the realisation that you someone you love is going to die. The title refers to the inevitability of death, as winter is something that doesn't stop for anyone.
As with most of Le Bon's lyrics, it's hard to dissect the words line by line, which is part of the beauty of this song. Combined with the haunting music, this is one of the most intimate DD-songs. As with most DD-ballads, it's a gem.
