Leaves Fall Red
Embracing Shadows: A Poetic Journey Through Life's Seasons
Lyrics
The stars are out so sleep
The night is here, suggesting it's time to rest.
Go into your bed
Encouragement to go to bed, emphasizing the need for rest.
A tree doesn't hat the seasons
Comparing a tree's endurance to the changing seasons, implying resilience.
When leaves fall red
Symbolizing change or transition with leaves falling red.
The night is not as long
Life's challenges are not as prolonged as remembered from youth.
As it was when you were young
Reflecting on the difficulties faced while growing up.
But this whole world will tear you down
The harsh reality of the world can be destructive as one strives to be resilient.
As you try to stay strong
Expressing the difficulty of staying strong amid challenges.
Darling it's only dark for so long
Assurance that darkness is temporary; brighter times will come.
The sun will rise bright and red and strong
Hopeful anticipation of a positive, vibrant future symbolized by a bright, red, and strong sunrise.
I guess I passed out
Indication of losing consciousness, possibly from exhaustion or anticipation.
Waiting and holding my breath
Impatiently waiting and holding breath for an awaited answer.
For and answer to a question that
Seeking a response to a question that remains unanswered.
Hasn't come yet
Emphasizing the prolonged anticipation for a resolution.
Your eyes they tell me so
Understanding emotions through the eyes, implying unspoken feelings.
So many things
Suggesting a premonition or deep insight into future events.
A death that hasn't happened yet
Anticipating a future loss, possibly death, and a desire for expression.
And a heart that wants to sing
Desire for emotional release and expression through singing.
Darling it's okay to feel weak
Encouragement to accept vulnerability and acknowledge feelings of weakness.
The sun goes down black and blue
Reference to the end of the day, suggesting the inevitability of challenges and hardships.
Before you go to sleep
Before going to sleep, acknowledging the hardships one faces.
