Story Behind The Song
This song came from a place in my life where I was stuck in the middle of my college career feeling stuck - both in the throws of academia and in the literal grey dome that constantly covers indiana's atmosphere in the winter months. The use of the snowglobe in the lyrics depicts my frustrations, working so hard and searching for the life that I can see, that I want so badly, and am not that far away from, but feel so closed off from.
Song Description
Snowglobe is about imagining what it would be like to be stuck in a snowglobe. One who is stuck inside cannot reach the outside, even though they can see it so clearly, it looks so big and open, full of freedom. Instead, the person locked inside is forced to run in circles, frustrated, never knowing fully freedom, while the snowglobe turns upside down from time to time. This song is about that person breaking free.

Lyrics
Snowglobe
V1
G Bm
Stuck inside this glass, and though i'm running fast,
Em C
I never leave this sphere, Can't get out of here
G Bm
Same old scenery Swallowing me
Em C
Trying to be free, Rediscover Me
Prechorus
G Bm
And what if I walked outside the lines
Em C
and what if I could break free
Chorus
G Bm Em D
My World Keeps Turnin' upside down
G Bm Em D
Just as the snow returns to the ground
G Bm Em C
And My Head keeps spinnin' round
Am Bm G
As everything stays the same
((G) Bm Em C D)
V2
G Bm
Same old Scenery swallowing me
Em C
Held captive from my dreams by invisibility
G Bm
I know there's more to see, A LIfe beyond this fallacy
Em C
I want to go beyond and reach to infinity
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge
Em D
Shaken up and settled Down
C Bm
But never quite on the ground
Em D
Break away these walls that keep me in so I can
C Eb+4 D
Break away from the emptiness surrounding me (and I'll keep waiting for the day)
Chorus 2
G Bm Em D
When my world stops turning upside down
G Bm Em D
And all the snow melts from the ground
G Bm Em D
with a level head I'll hear the sound
Am Bm G Bm Em C D, G Bm Em, (Am Bm G) Tag
Of Nothing staying the same
