Better in October
Embracing Change: Finding Solace in October's Aura
Lyrics
Rolling my head around my shoulders
Expressing physical movement and tension in the body.
The lights flash back I look again
Observing a sudden recall of memories as lights flash.
Painting riddles in the corner
Creating mysterious and enigmatic images in a secluded space.
Until I notice them
Becoming aware of those painted riddles.
Twisted pathways sewn behind me
Reflecting on complex and convoluted past experiences.
Illuminating moments there
Shining a light on significant moments in the past.
I wish I could turn off the street lights
Desiring to escape or avoid public exposure and scrutiny.
And leave the glow somewhere
Wishing to leave behind a particular atmosphere or influence.
But I can't remember the last time I kissed somebody sober
Reflecting on a lack of recent genuine and sober connections.
I'll leave the summer
Choosing to move away from a vibrant and lively period.
Things are better in October
Expressing a preference for the qualities of October.
It's been a fortnight off the railroad
Taking a break from routine or a standard path.
The leaves are fading brown again
Noticing the changing colors of leaves as a seasonal metaphor.
I guess it's easy to relate but
Understanding others' experiences but feeling differently.
Now I feel the opposite of them
Experiencing a contrasting emotion to what is expected.
But I can't remember the last time I just let it be over
Forgetting the last time one allowed something to end naturally.
The darker nights
Expressing a preference for the atmosphere of darker nights.
Things are better in October
Reiterating the sentiment that things are better in October.
The freezing air is somewhat calming
Finding a sense of peace and tranquility in chilly air.
All wrapped up in my own affairs
Focusing on personal matters and concerns.
The blurry images of days gone by
Letting go of unclear and faded memories of the past.
Can now stay there
Deciding to leave past experiences where they belong.
As I sit out in the garden
Enjoying a moment of reflection in an outdoor space.
And watch the navy sky fall black
Witnessing the transformation of the sky from blue to black.
A passer-by thinks it's my swan song
Being misunderstood by an observer as facing a tragic end.
But I'm back on track
Recovering and moving forward despite external perceptions.
Cause I can't remember the last time I felt a little closure
Seeking closure and resolution for unresolved feelings.
And now I know
Realizing and acknowledging that October brings a positive change.
Things are better in October
Concluding that the speaker finds solace and improvement in October.
