Snow (Hey Oh)

I discovered this song on a cold winter day when there was no dirt you could see, just a thick blanket of snow covering the ground. The kind that covers all your tracks. It doesn't have the same effect now that its spring and the snow has melted. :P

I believe this song is about a fresh start; prying yourself away from things that comfort, but possibly isolate you.

"when I sit alone come get a little known but I need more than myself this time" -you truly learn when you're around other people; not just yourself

"step from the road to the sea to the sky and I do believe that we rely on" -our paths in life are a journey; we rely on so much to get us through this journey

"when will I know that I really can't go to the well once more time to decide on" -the "well" could represent something that gives us comfort but also hurts us; or better yet, having justified access to that "well" that makes us feel better might be shaken by the changing dynamics in our lives. When do we realize it's no longer practical, useful, advantageous, or warranted given the unknown path we are really on and our unknown destination? Again, the "well" could mean anything that makes us feel better (whether it be drugs, the thought of another person which gives comfort, etc.)

"when it's killing me when will I really see all that I need to look inside" -that feeling of wanting to have what it takes to be self-sufficient. Specifically, wanting to SEE something(s) that allows you to truly look inside of yourself. Not having to resort to the well.

"come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride" -I love this part. the two lines above (about the well and seeing all you need to look inside) gives an impression of wanting to be self-sufficient. Now its about knowing that you want to take this strength you wish to be able to derive from yourself, applying it, and not giving up before you get your own chance to live.

"Hey oh listen what I say oh Come back and Hey oh look at what I say oh" -Investing in yourself, not focusing on the "well" so now YOU want to be listened to?

"The more I see the less I know the more I like to let it go" -snow covers up your past tracks you made in the ground. The more snow there is, the less you remember or know about whats beneath it; the more you are inclined to let it all go. Snow can represent new things that steadily fall into place in your life; once built up, it becomes difficult to see whats beneath it, or your past ways. OR... putting the concept of snow aside, the line above could just mean the more you see of whatever you need to "look inside" might make you know less and less about the well (through time) and whatever kind of (possibly redundant by now) comfort or support you might have derived from it

"Privately divided by a world so undecided and there’s nowhere to go" -Privately divided: mentally/internally not outwardly having mixed feelings for a "world so undecided" which could represent the untouched snow; a fresh path that hasn't been stepped on. It's undecided yet. nowhere to go: not obviously being pointed to any direction. Snow: represents new things in ones life. New things that cover up old ways.

"When to descend to amend for a friend all the channels that have broken down" -there's a fresh start ahead of you. On one hand you remember being so preoccupied and caught up with this well. But as new things come into your life, you let go of old ways. So now it comes to your attention all your connections with friends that have broken down when you were so preoccupied and not self-focused. When do you amend, catch up with, and rectify your life?

"Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go" -knowing that whatever you do now, your tracks will be covered up eventually.
