Okay, this is just my interpretation of the New Moon version.. This song doesn't refer necessarily to New Moon but the story in general, if you read the books, you'll get what I'm talking about
I think this song refers a lot to Breaking Dawn when Bella goes vampire.. so here's my interpretation.. It's much like a conversation between her and Edward and vampirism itself.
We can never go home // she can never go back.. she'll have to leave everything behind, friends,
family.. everything
We no longer have one // they'll be nomadic, moving from place to place, never staying too long
I'll help you carry the load // but he promises he'll be there to make it easier, since she'll be a
newborn, thirsting blood and being pretty much violent
I'll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold and we're alone
But I'm alone with you // pretty clear.. it's a love song
Help me to carry the fire //this is from Bella's point of view. The books says the turning is like
We will keep it alight together fire burning and she has to endure it, she asks Edward to help her
Help me to carry the fire through the process, but she also sees it as the means to her and
It will light our way forever Edward being together forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday //This is significant, as birthdays are a horror to Bella, as it
The things you put in your head makes her older than Edward, and yet he believes that it's special,
They will stay there forever as her human life contains precious memories, that is very easy to
Our blood is cold and we're alone, love forget when she becomes a vampire. So he says he'll always be
But I'm alone with you there and asks her to wait, to savor life.. but the end shows
she made her decision.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
I think a lot of people doesn't see the significance of these words because they only watched the movie which is a shame, cuz the books are magnificent and no movie can have the amount of time to cover the whole story.
First of all, I doubt Tom Smith (hes the lead singer and songwriter by the way) has even read Breaking Dawn, let alone wrote the lyrics for it. I'm a twilight fan (of the books mainly) but even I'm getting sick of people referring to it all the time.

Secondly. The birthday part is significant to the book The Road, which the original version of this song is about. Big stuffy movie directors (the same directors who miss out brilliant parts of the twilight books) probably asked Editors to make it more "vampiery" so they threw in stuff about blood, and cold, and moon. Anyway in The Road, a father is fighting to look after his son. Hence "Think of a Birthday" birthdays were so much better when you were a kid, hes basically telling the kid to think happy thoughts.
Thirdly, theres a reason the song dosnt refer to new moon, because its not about new moon. Read the book The Road, and you'll develop a new understanding for this truly remarkable song, and hopefully get over this twilight thing, because although the twilight books are good, there are MUCH better ones out there. Trust me.
You are saying people arent seeing the significance of these words. Well nor are you.
