If people find no reason to cold-shoulder someone, then they invent something. The metaphorical Winter caused by envy.
Story behind the song
If there's no reason to dislike or cold-shoulder someone, people will invent one. Diamonds in the Snowlight are the erroneous beliefs some people have, thinking others are better off than they are. The story of being frozen out due to envy. I hope the piano parts convey snowflakes in a blizzard against bitterly cold scenery (the metaphorical Winter we all have to battle sometime in our lives) - the day the song was written & the image I had in mind.
Lyrics
DIAMONDS IN THE SNOWLIGHT
The changing face of some people turns like a Winter town,
Looking out through their eyes of silent stone,
There's colder comfort with the social crowd,
Fit in their frame, or be alone.
Yeah,
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
A lonesome face at a window quietly dignified,
Bitter winds laugh and steal from broken trees,
This frosty season never can deny,
Were all what someone else believes.
Yeah,
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
Ooh, Diamonds In The Snowlight
(Snowlight)
Ooh-ee-ooh Diamonds In The Snowlight
Shine so bright.
