Summer's Ending
Fading Colors of Summer: Abra Moore's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Summer's ending
Expressing the conclusion or nearing conclusion of summer.
And when it does, all my flowers will fall
Anticipating the end of summer and the symbolic falling of flowers.
And when they fall the colors will fade
Describing the consequence of flowers falling, leading to fading colors.
And it could leave me anywhere
Reflecting uncertainty about where the changes brought by the end of summer might lead.
Picture-boxed movie stars in stereo
Imagery of famous personalities in a confined space, possibly symbolizing the end of an era.
Paperbacks and radio have taken his place
Noting the displacement of traditional sources of entertainment by modern alternatives.
The pull of the ferris wheel, the sound of the train
Evoking nostalgic elements like ferris wheels and trains, possibly representing the passage of time.
And it could take me anywhere
Reiterating the uncertainty of where the changes in life might lead.
And it could leave me anywhere
Reinforcing the idea that the outcome of the changes is unpredictable.
Listen can you hear them fall
Inviting the listener to pay attention to the falling of flowers and changes in life.
They're falling down, a hundred flowers
Describing the abundant falling of flowers, emphasizing their quantity.
I can't count them all
Expressing the overwhelming nature of the changes symbolized by falling flowers.
They're falling down a thousand times
Emphasizing the repetitive and continuous nature of the changes.
I can't catch them all
Acknowledging the inability to control or capture all the changes in life.
And it could leave me anywhere
Reiterating the unpredictable outcomes and destinations resulting from life changes.
It could take me anywhere
Highlighting the potential for diverse and varied destinations in life.
Summer's ending
Repeating the acknowledgment of the conclusion of summer.
And when it does, all my flowers will fall
Revisiting the idea of flowers falling as a metaphor for the changing season.
And when they fall the colors will fade
Reiterating the consequences of falling flowers, leading to fading colors.
And it could leave me anywhere
Restating the uncertainty about the potential outcomes of life changes.
Listen can you hear them fall
Echoing the call to pay attention to the symbolic falling of flowers and changes in life.
