instead of talking about the lyrics, can i just start off with the way this song SOUNDS.
it keeps me on the edge of my seat, as it starts out with that static/wind noise, and i find myself waiting for something, but i have no clue if it will be bad or good. the more regina sings, the louder the echo of her voice gets. the first time she sings "open" it sounds as if she's literally opening a door, but the second time she sings it, it sounds like she's THROWING open a door to a secluded house, letting in the sounds of the outside. when she mentions snow, you can actually hear the sparkle of snow in the background. and then those gasps for air! it's completely unreal. the first time i heard it, i got scared, as if I was the one who needed air, as if I was drowning. and then the song ends with echo regina humming along, as if regina's ghost has taken over or something. i don't think a song has made me feel as uneasy as this one has, and it's honestly the most amazing thing.
Magnificant feelering blufferooney! Because, somehow, (with you) I am always uncertain of the specific way that smoke feels as it is going up my ass. I know, it literally is not something you would think one could "feel" however, I have had a few cases of being royally screwe by smoke up the arse and have grown quite a thick callous in the anus. I know, crude, but I shall take a listen and if I feel as though your words are not congruent with every single thing you have meantioned during the song, I will just send back to...

Wait, wait...tell me again the one about the winner by this Russian Jew and the one "Sex on Fire" from the other site. Those make me know for certain that the screen is true for the eyes see...and not hear!
I actually made an account, just so I could respond to this comment because I felt so strongly about it. I felt the exact same way about this song the first time, and the few successive times I heard it. The gasps, especially, made me feel..so into the music and so panicked. It's such a beautiful song. Regina Spektor is such an amazing artist.

You're right! Her use of onomatopoeia adds so much to her music. It's absolutely brilliant! And so is your analysis. It's spot on!
