Winters are cold‚ but it is the coldest when people are suffering from loss. Most of Kanye’s songs have a hidden message and in this song his message may be unclear unless you know about his life. In all the song in the album Kanye’s lyrics have a deeper meaning than what the average music lover can read or listen to. Coldest Winter is actually a depiction of the singer’s relationship with his mother and his fiancee as depicted through the themes of loss‚ loneliness‚ and doubt. Kanye’s lyrics

Society is very different in the world today compared to the early 20th century. The one thing that stayed over the years was imaging how to make good impressions and how others think.
