Coming back to comment on this one. I think you really had a good subject here to represent the lyric you chose. The image itself is sort of lackluster, and that really holds it back. Personally I've found that when you think to yourself "I will point my camera down at this thing and take a picture of it" you should force yourself to stop, and investigate all possible angles of approaching the shot. Without fail, something is going to produce a better image than just pointing down and firing off a shot.
Here it looks like this might have looked very nice if you got down low, belly in the snow, and shot this from the side. The light would side light, or even back light, the leaves nicely. Also shooting closer up, or even just cropping much tighter so the plant is more dominant in the frame would really reinforce the 'hanging on in quiet desperation' feel of the image.
