When Memories Snow is the sixth track on Mitski’s seventh studio album, The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We. It is a contemplative piece, where the singer reflects on her tendency to “shovel” memories to the back of her mind, and leave them to dance at the edge of her conscience, persistent, cold...
[Verse 1]
When memories snow
And cover up the driveway
I shovel all those memories
Clear the path to drive to the store
And when memories melt
I hear them in the drainpipe
Drippin' through the downspout
As I lie awake in the dark
[Verse 2]
And if I break
Could I go on break?
Be back in my room
Writin' speeches in my head
Listenin' to the thousand hands
That clap for me in the dark
When Memories Snow was written by Mitski.
