Autumn Leaves
Fading Love and Autumn Leaves: A Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Well I was never good at picking what to wear, for somebody else
Struggled with choosing attire for someone else.
This dress will go good with her hair
Thinking about how the dress complements her hair.
At least I think in this light
Assuming or guessing in this lighting.
From the lamp beside this couch
Observing from the light of the nearby lamp.
With half the bulbs burnt out
Noticing that some of the bulbs are burnt out.
I'm starting to know how that feels
Beginning to understand the feeling of being incomplete or imperfect.
Autumn leaves
Reference to the recurring nature of autumn leaves.
Come back to you
The return of memories associated with autumn.
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves symbolize feeling melancholic or sad.
You feelin blue
Connection between autumn leaves and feeling blue or sad.
But when autumn leaves
Contrasting the fading of leaves with the persistence of her love.
Her love for me won't
Despite autumn leaves fading, her love remains.
Well the cancer got her good this time around
Expressing the impact of cancer on someone.
18 hours left before they put her in the ground
A limited time left before she's buried.
Was this the hand of god
Questioning if her illness is a result of divine intervention.
That they talk about in church
Reference to the concept of God's involvement.
If it is then it won't hurt
Speculating that divine intervention might not cause pain.
Only believers will know
Only believers might understand the situation.
Autumn leaves
Recurrence of the theme related to autumn leaves.
Come back to you
The return of memories associated with autumn.
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves represent feeling melancholic or sad.
You feelin blue
Connection between autumn leaves and feeling blue or sad.
But when autumn leaves
Contrasting the fading of leaves with the persistence of her love.
Her love for me won't
Despite autumn leaves fading, her love remains.
There's a cold front that's headed for the town
Anticipating a difficult situation approaching.
This one will be rough
Expecting a challenging period.
Some killers never make a sound....
Some dangerous individuals act silently.
They just walk up, take a knife to you and yours
Violent actions without warning, leaving a mark.
Leave a message on my door
A message left behind after the act.
When I return to normal you'll know
Promise to explain upon returning to normalcy.
Autumn leaves
Repetition of the theme related to autumn leaves.
Come back to you
Memories associated with autumn returning.
Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves symbolize feeling melancholic or sad.
You feelin blue
Connection between autumn leaves and feeling blue or sad.
Autumn leaves
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the face of autumn.
What can I do
Questioning what actions to take in the midst of autumn.
When autumn leaves
Contrasting the fading of leaves with the persistence of her love.
Her love for me won't
Despite autumn leaves fading, her love remains.
