Meaning
This reads as a promise that disorder is not final. The images of sound, teeth, and seasons point to a force that restores life after fear and cold, so the line can be taken to mean that hope is not abstract, it arrives and changes the world. It lands in moments when people need to believe hardship can end and something fairer can return.
