Did you know?

The song’s lyrics, such as “Don’t cry, snowman, not in front of me / Who’ll catch your tears if you can’t catch me, darling?” and “You’re melting fast, my dear, and I can’t have that,” vividly depict a relationship on the verge of dissolution.

The snowman, a symbol of purity and transience, represents a love that is beautiful but ultimately impermanent.

Sia’s use of winter imagery underscores the cold, isolating feelings associated with heartbreak, while the snowman’s inevitable melting signifies the unavoidable end of the relationship.

The tender, melancholic tone of the song further enhances the emotional depth, making it a powerful reflection on the pain of losing someone dear.
