Relient K - In Like A Lion (Always Winter) Lyrics






It's always nice to look out the window
And see those very first few flakes of snow
And later on we can go outside
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky

When February rolls around I'll roll my eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
For the green grass waiting on the other side

It's always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope

It'd be so nice to look out the window
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
The birds would congregate and sing
A song of birth a song of newer things

The wind would calm and the sun would shine
I'd go outside and I'd squint my eyes
But for now I will simply just withdraw
Sit here and wish for this world to thaw

It's always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope

And everything it changed overnight
This dying world you brought it back to life
And deep inside I felt things
Shifting everything was melting
Away oh away
And you gave us the most beautiful of days

Cause when it's always winter but never Christmas
Sometimes it feels like you're not with us
But deep inside our hearts we know
That you are here and we will not lose hope

Relient K In Like A Lion (Always Winter) Comments
  1. D.... R....

    How come... I've been listening to relient k for more than ten years now and I always find a song that I haven't heard before... and it gives me so much joy. I love these guys <3

  2. T.... S....

    ill go like all the comment cause this is my Fav song from my childhood days

  3. S.... i....

    Minnesota is snowy for like 75 percent of the year. It's snowing in September.

  4. K.... ....

    One of the best songs of all time.

  5. L.... C....

    Here from Aviators cover, Love this version too^^

  6. R.... 4....

    Verse 1: Inspiration coming from sadness can be a great thing, but sometimes the feelings themselves are still a lot to bear, especially when the only inspiration you get is from sadness and can often lead you to reject the things you really do want.

    Chorus: Losing a hold on the warmth and love in the world can create a clash between having hope and losing it. at the same time, it can make our hearts stay humble, depending on the person.

    Verse 2: Longing for the warm beauty is inevitable, but sometimes we don't know what else to do about it but withdraw and hope for he best, continuing without the passion you used to have.

    (Chorus)

    Verse 3: Oftentimes we need someone else, no matter how much we want to be alone, to help us see the happiness in the world again. That can be a significant other, a stranger, a family member, or even a metaphor or message.

    Verse 4: Sometimes the people who help us see beauty cannot be around anymore, but if we keep them in our hearts and memories, the hope won't fade.

  7. J.... ....

  10. I.... b....

    LONG LIVE NARNIA!!!!!!!

    I.... b....

    Further up and further in.

  11. D.... ....

    i know this could be taken literally, for Narnia and such... but it was so nice to imagine just living in a dark lonely mansion, waiting for the happiness like Christmas, or the springtime to come and invade the sadness. and then that certain someone comes and brings both of those things to you.. i love this song so much, can't believe i just now remembered it!

    D.... ....

    What's this song have to do with Narnia?

  12. D.... D....

    AMAZING SONG

  13. E.... A....

    Is this about narnia?

    E.... A....

    +Em A Relient K had originally written it for the Narnia soundtrack, but eventually released it on their own album when they were never asked for their song to be used on the soundtrack.

  14. J.... ....

    I love this song

  15. W.... H....

    Love this song.  Brings me back.  Used to listen to it all the time :)

  16. A.... ....

    Magnificent song. Means so much to me.

  20. L.... N....

  21. S.... J....

    turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies!

    S.... J....

    Ikr nigga

    S.... J....

    Take a cold shower

  22. L.... ....

    I've just read "Summer Falls" by Amilia Williams and it reminded me a bit of Narnia, so i came here to listen to this song.

  23. P.... I....

    I think the song was originally inspired by that movie lol

  24. s.... ....

    This song always reminds me of The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe because in the story, they have a never-ending winter,but Christmas never comes because of the White Witch.

    s.... ....

    sleepy-darling The song was originally made for that movie!

  25. j.... ....

    Another latecomer from the Aviators cover, here.
    /)

    I'm a big fan of Aviators' stuff and I have to say, this is one of the rare occasions where I've listened to the original version of a song and actually preferred it over his. This is an absolutely beautiful song.

  26. t.... ....

    True, true. I actually only found this song through Aviators cover, so maybe that's a good thing!

  27. C.... L....

    Even the littlest of a connection can make a difference. Even if only one person links to this.

  28. t.... ....

    How? I'm a brony myself, but the only person connected to the fanbase that I've seen use it is Aviators. Am I missing something?

  29. L.... M....

    You don't ever feel like it's always Winter, or worse, make someone feels like it's always Winter.

  30. C.... L....

    This still amazes me: somehow the fandom of mlp has made a link to this. No other word can disc robe my surprise and unknown feeling.

  31. d.... ....

    I love this song so much more now <3

  32. S.... G....

    I love how you can see that subtle hint, when the song is about Narnia, which is almost entirely a spiritual allergory.

  33. S.... G....

    You bet it was! <3

  34. d.... ....

    Was this written for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?

  35. D.... F....

    my heart is filled with hope that this curse will be lifted soon... I can sense the ice is melting.

  36. H.... ....

    Same here.

  37. D.... ....

    I actually got here from ponies, but I love this song!

  38. I.... ....

  39. a.... ....

    /watch?v=FFLnOIFfjpo

    God bless <3

  53. i.... ....

    @Ooyo00 oooh, looks like someone got their feelings hurt. i'm sorry if i offended you, but you should calm down. If that guy wanted to quote the bible, let him. There are no bible references in the song, but relient k IS a band full of christians and they make Christian references in some of their songs, so if he wants to talk about god, let him. Is that MATURE enough for you? I won't call you a moron like you did to me after you told me to "grow up"

  54. i.... ....

    @Ooyo00 shutup. notice how you got no likes for your comment. It wasn't better than his.

  55. T.... ....

    @Rondzo This quality is good! :)

  56. R.... ....

    can you upload that song in HQ/1080p please?

    thumbs up so that he's able to see the post!

  57. W.... P....

    @PocheProductions Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall all upon the name of the Lord Shall be saved.
    Romans 5:8 For the wages of sin is death,but the gift of the Lord is eternal Life through Christ Jesus.
    The Bible is very specific, when it talks about Jesus being Fully God, and Fully Man. Dying on The Cross, for our Sins, and if we choose to follow him, Going to Heaven. We as Christians should do Good works to further ourselves in our Faith, and because God calls us to in the great commission.

    @Lizzaranda Hi there! Just listening to this awesome song and saw this conversation. Not wanting to start an argument or anything so this question is just for Lizzaranda. I'm just wondering, as you don't believe that Catholicism equates to Christianity... What are your thoughts on someone who identifies as Evangelical-Pentecostal such as myself? And on that note... What denominations of Christianity DO you define as... well... being Christian? Purely curiousity! Cheers :)

  60. R.... L....

    Ah ^_^ this song makes me think of Narnia

  61. D.... ....

    @Differentiswonderful Yeah, I'll take that. Sorry to Lizzaranda and everyone else for putting silly comments

  62. D.... ....

    @Lizzaranda you're making a really good case for showing others how to be Christians. I didn't realise Christians resulted to slander of a complete stranger.Definition of a Christian: "A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings." as far as I'm concerned, Catholics believe in Jesus AND baptisim. It'd be nice if you weren't as close minded, maybe people would be more inclined to be Christians. (for reference, I'm a christian too)

  63. D.... ....

    @Lizzaranda Hang on a second here, Italy was catholic for a very very long time. One of the first Christian states AND the vatican is there. And America had George Bush. 'nuff said.

  64. E.... S....

    @haeleiram1 Haha, that's the first thing I thought when I first heard this song :) Narnia FOREVER!

  65. P.... ....

    @CenturyCharactar And Here's A Title For You,"Go Fuck Yourself,Or Ask Dad To"

  66. P.... ....

    @Orangeade1100 Finally,Someone Who's Smart And Isn't A Complete Dick.

  67. G.... ....

    Guys, it doesn't matter what religion or faith you beleive in just listen to the song. It's not "logical" to waste time argueing about things like that just enjoy

  68. K.... ....

    @adgarallanpoefangirl Because it's Relient K. A decent number of their songs are very "Jesusy" if you will.

  69. P.... ....

    @CenturyCharactar Why Do You Whine Over Such Petty Things? I'll Type The Way I Want. Don't Like It? Suck It.

  70. P.... ....

    @notpopcorn Prove That Humanity Is Based Off Of "God." It's Called The Big Bang Theory My Friend,Which We Have More Evidence On. Now When I Say I Don't Believe In God,I'm Not Saying I Worship The Devil Or Anything,I Simply Don't Believe In Either For The Reason Of It Not Being Logical. I May Be Wrong,I May Be Right But I'm Just Sharing My Belief In Logical Thinking.

  71. M.... D....

    @Mis4Mika...he said "The Pilgrim's Regress", not "Progress". Just FYI

  72. m.... k....

    @MrLeeJimi John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress, not C.S Lewis...But yes. I agree with your point.

  73. E.... B....

    well actually all of humanity is based off of God

  74. J.... B....

    lol Narnia much?

  75. d.... e....

    @Thegirlintheredcloak that's because J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were both Christians

  76. d.... e....

    @gobacktothatplace i mean Voyage of The Dawn Treader

  77. d.... e....

    @Prometheum021 why would I lie about something like this???
    This is what I want you to do: 1.Go find a Bible (any Bible would do but it would be good to have the New and Old Testaments) 2. Buy ALL the Chronicles of Narnia (if you don't have them) 3. As you read the books, I want you to compare them (them) with the Bible.

  78. s.... ....

    @Prometheum021 Have you ever read a book by C.S. Lewis? He has written many books that are blatantly Christian. He is, in fact, one of the greatest Christian authors of the modern era. He was an atheist until the age of 32 when he converted to Christianity and afterwards wrote dozens of Christian books including the Chronicles of Narnia which are allegories that emphasize Biblical teachings.

  79. d.... e....

    @Prometheum021 well he was a Christian at first but fell away from his faith later on. With the help of J.R.R Tolkien and his friends, C.S.Lewis returned to his faith and that had a huge effect on his work. So yes I do think that C.S.Lewis WAS preaching Christianity.

  80. S.... ....

    @gobacktothatplace ... It's about Narnia.. Matt T. wanted a song on some "songs inspired by the movie" thing, so he wrote this hoping it would get on there.

  81. d.... e....

    @haeleiram1 you're welcome

  82. d.... e....

    @haeleiram1 well actually the Chronicles of Narnia is a Bible reference

  83. K.... ....

    LOve u guys.
    not mmy account

  84. d.... l....

    Great song
