Discover the story of the song > Snow Song – Adrianne Lenker

The lyrics of the song talk about a person, referred to as 'she', who feels trapped and helpless. She apologizes to her partner because she is unable to do anything and feels like she is slowly breaking apart. She compares herself to a frozen lake, saying that if she dies inside her cold and bitter shell, it will just add to her pain. She feels like she is sinking and there is no one there to help her. She describes her feelings of sadness and loneliness and expresses that she feels like she is sinking deeper and deeper into despair. The song repeats this feeling of sinking and being alone.
