Lyrics
We started out so awkwardly
We began our relationship in an awkward manner.
There was rain and cold and dark
The initial phase was marked by rain, cold, and darkness.
I wondered why I left the sun behind me
I questioned the decision to leave a sunny place behind.
No more brownies in the park
No more carefree moments in the park (symbolized by 'brownies').
It's a long, long way from California to Berlin
The distance between California and Berlin is emphasized, expressing a sense of longing.
So filled with melancholia
A feeling of deep sadness and sorrow.
Winter came and paralyzed me
Winter brought emotional numbness and stagnation.
Thrown like gravel over ice
A metaphorical portrayal of feeling displaced and vulnerable.
I'm like a polar bear crawling through the tundra
Feeling isolated, like a polar bear in a desolate paradise.
Of some penumbral paradise
As I make my way to pen and paper
Reference to the act of creation using pen and paper.
My guitar, some weed, imagination
The tools of creativity: guitar, marijuana, and imagination.
January days blending into grey
Depiction of monotonous January days blending into grey.
But when the magic comes, the clouds get blown away
Despite the mundane, creativity has the power to dispel clouds.
My troubles, they are ending
Positive change: troubles are coming to an end.
My sorrows, they are few
The speaker's sorrows are diminishing.
If I write a sunny love song every day
A commitment to writing a cheerful love song daily.
I can shine so bright on you, so true (On you)
The promise that this positivity will shine brightly on someone else.
My troubles, they have ended (Ended now)
A repetition of the idea that troubles have come to an end.
My sorrows ended, too (Ended too)
Reiteration that sorrows have also ended.
I should write a sunny love song every day
The speaker contemplates consistently creating happy love songs.
I will shine so bright on you, so true
The commitment to shine brightly and truthfully through these songs.
