autumn calls
Chasing Shadows: Casey Moon's Reflection on Time and Transcendence
Lyrics
Autumn calls and we decline
Autumn symbolizes change or transition, and the speaker is resisting or rejecting it.
I get so lost in the passing of time
The speaker feels disoriented or overwhelmed by the relentless progression of time.
The way the sun crosses the sky
The description of the sun's movement suggests a desire for something beyond the current experience.
Like there’s something more on the other side
Suggests a belief in the existence of something more meaningful or significant in life.
I never thought that there'd be anything after you
The speaker never anticipated experiencing anything significant after a particular person (possibly a relationship).
We lived a lifetime in one summer
Reflects on a period of intense and fulfilling experiences, possibly in a past summer.
The way your eyes shine beneath the moon
The captivating quality of the person's eyes under the moon, overshadowing everything else.
Obscured everything else from view
The intense focus on the person, obscuring other aspects of life or reality.
When you said
Quoting a statement indicating a realization that the present moment is precious and will be missed in the future.
“One day we’ll wish we were here again”
The speaker recalls a sentiment expressing a longing for the current experience in the future.
Now we hit the blunt like a madeleine
Using substances (blunt) as a way to cope with or reminisce about past experiences.
Fist in the air like Judd
Referencing a celebratory or defiant gesture, perhaps in response to challenges or difficulties.
New day, new problems
Acknowledging the persistence of problems in each new day.
Searching for separate peace in the drugs
Seeking solace or escape through drug use to find personal peace.
Used to be Finny, now we want Fendi
A shift in desires from simplicity (Finny) to luxury (Fendi).
I just want to run it up
Expressing a desire to achieve success and accumulate wealth.
Make it and spend it, I balance the budget
Balancing financial matters while indulging in life's pleasures.
Pour a little in my cup
A reference to enjoying a drink, possibly as a form of escape or relaxation.
When autumn calls and we decline
Reiteration of the resistance to the changes symbolized by autumn.
And I get so lost in the passing of time
Revisiting the sense of being overwhelmed by the passage of time.
The way the sun crosses the sky
A repetition of the desire for something more, hinted at by the sun's movement.
Like there’s something more on the other side
Reiterating the belief that there is something meaningful or significant beyond the current experience.
