Ginkgo Trees
Autumn Echoes: A Melancholic Tale of Ginkgo Trees and Frozen Memories
Lyrics
The color yellow on the ginkgo trees
The yellow color on the ginkgo trees
Is a little nauseating
Is somewhat unpleasant or unsettling
Everyone seems to like them but me
Despite general appreciation, I don't like them
I prefer the frozen things
I prefer things that are frozen (emotionally distant or cold)
The tablets on my tongue
Refers to tablets on the tongue
They seem to capture all but one
These tablets capture most emotions but not one specific feeling
Of my insignificant emotions
Describes emotions as insignificant
Wandering the streets
Walking through the streets
It was sixty last week
Temperature was sixty degrees last week
The grounds frozen till the spring
The ground is frozen until spring
I can't forget your widows peak
Recollection of a person with a distinctive hairline (widow's peak)
The tablets on my tongue
Reference to tablets on the tongue again
They seem to capture all but one
Tablets capture all but one emotion
Of my insignificant emotions
Reiteration of emotions being considered insignificant
I wanna pause it for a moment
Expresses a desire to pause and capture a moment
Just the capture what I'm holding
Wanting to capture what is being held
Is it my headphones or a picture
Uncertainty whether it's headphones or a picture
Your body lying in the bedroom
Imagery of a body in the bedroom
My dog sprawled out on the footboard
Details about the surroundings, a dog on the footboard
And I let myself be hopeful
The narrator allows hopefulness
The tablets on my tongue
Reference to tablets on the tongue once more
They seem to capture all but one
Tablets capture all but one emotion
Of my insignificant emotions
Reiteration of emotions being considered insignificant
The tablets on my tongue
Repetition of tablets capturing emotions
Seem to capture all but one
Repetition of tablets capturing all but one emotion
I don't know where they're from
Uncertainty about the origin of the tablets
Do you think anyone would remember me?
Questioning whether anyone would remember the narrator
Do you even think of me?
Questioning if the person in question thinks about the narrator
Do I remember correctly?
Uncertainty about the accuracy of the narrator's memory
So I'm wandering the streets
Returning to wandering the streets
The leaves falling in my tea
Leaves falling into the narrator's tea
I'm choking on my knees
The narrator is in a state of discomfort or distress
Maybe you'll drive by and see
Hope that someone, possibly the person in question, will notice
