Lyrics
Countless imperfections hidden away
Reference to numerous flaws or imperfections kept hidden.
Rules did not comply to what we had in mind
Our plans did not conform to established rules or expectations.
Boundless thoughts did rage with no dismay
Unrestricted thoughts surged without inhibition or concern.
Deemed invincible the world fell at our feet
Believing in invincibility, the world crumbled before us.
But leaves just don't stay green
Metaphor for the transient nature of vitality and vibrancy.
They color and fall
Nature's cycle symbolized by leaves changing colors and falling.
Stuck in a daydream
Lost in a fanciful, unrealistic reverie or fantasy.
The wind lifts you up
A positive force (wind) elevates and influences your state of being.
And it floats you around
Emphasizing the uplifting and liberating effect of the wind.
It lifts you up
Reiteration of the uplifting impact of a positive force.
And it floats you around
Continuation of the theme of being carried or influenced positively.
Merciless years consume you in every way
Relentless passage of time consumes and ages you in various ways.
The untroubled one got replaced with distrust
The carefree individual is replaced by a sense of mistrust or skepticism.
Slowly melancholy fills the heart as you look back at the start
Reflecting on the past with a growing sense of sadness or pensiveness.
Of a life with no constraints
Recollection of a life without limitations or restrictions.
But leaves just don't stay green
Reiteration of the transient nature of vibrancy and life.
They color and fall
Continued metaphorical depiction of the changing seasons of life.
Stuck in a daydream
Reiteration of being caught in an impractical or unattainable dream.
The wind lifts you up
The wind, symbolizing positivity, again lifts and influences.
And it floats you around
Reiteration of the positive, liberating influence of the wind.
It lifts you up
Continuation of the theme of being carried or influenced positively.
And it floats you around
Emphasizing the uplifting and liberating effect of the wind.
It floats you around
Repetition for emphasis on the positive influence of floating.
It floats you around
-It floats you around
-It floats you around
-But leaves just don't stay green
Recurrence of the metaphor of changing seasons in life.
They color and fall
Continued metaphorical depiction of the changing seasons of life.
Stuck in a daydream
Reiteration of being caught in an impractical or unattainable dream.
The wind lifts you up
The wind, symbolizing positivity, again lifts and influences.
And it floats you around
Reiteration of the positive, liberating influence of the wind.
It lifts you up
Continuation of the theme of being carried or influenced positively.
And it floats you around
Emphasizing the uplifting and liberating effect of the wind.
It lifts you up
Reiteration of the positive influence of floating and being lifted.
And it floats you around
Continuation of the theme of being carried or influenced positively.
It lifts you up
Emphasizing the uplifting and liberating effect of the wind.
And it floats you around
Repetition for emphasis on the positive influence of floating.
It floats you around
Reiteration and emphasis on the positive influence of floating.
It floats you around
-It floats you around
Final repetition emphasizing the positive impact of floating.
