Snowflakes

In 'Snowflakes,' Forgotten Garden delves into the emotional wreckage of a deteriorating relationship. The song opens with a sense of disorientation and loss, as the narrator struggles to navigate through the 'wreckage' created by both parties. The imagery of darkness falling and making each other crawl suggests a mutual descent into a painful and destructive dynamic. This sets the tone for a song that explores themes of betrayal, disillusionment, and the difficulty of moving forward when trust has been shattered.

The chorus reflects a sense of disbelief and sorrow, as the narrator grapples with the realization that the relationship has reached this low point once again. The repetition of 'these days have gone' underscores the finality and irreversibility of the situation. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and confusion, questioning how they can continue when the foundation of their relationship has crumbled. This is further emphasized by the metaphor of 'a thousand knives' in the eyes of the other person, symbolizing the sharp, cutting pain of betrayal and the exposure of their unadorned secrets.

The final verse introduces the metaphor of rotten fruit, symbolizing the hidden decay within their relationship that has now been exposed. The song concludes with the image of snowflakes falling, a poignant metaphor for the fragility and transience of their connection. Just as snowflakes are delicate and fleeting, so too is their relationship, now falling apart and beyond repair. The repeated imagery of snowflakes falling down serves as a melancholic reminder of the inevitable end, leaving the listener with a sense of quiet resignation and sorrow.
