Sometimes It Snows in April
April's Bittersweet Symphony: A Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
Tracy died after a prolonged internal struggle or conflict.
Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
The speaker comforted Tracy until his last moment of sorrow.
I guess he's better off than he was before
Tracy is now in a better state than before, possibly at peace.
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
Tracy's condition in the afterlife is far superior to those left behind.
I used to cry for Tracy 'cause he was my only friend
The speaker used to grieve for Tracy, who was their sole companion.
Those kind of cars don't pass u every day
High-end cars like Tracy's were not a common sight.
I used to cry for Tracy because I wanted to see him again
The speaker cried for Tracy longing to meet him again.
But sometimes, sometimes life ain't always the way
Life is unpredictable and doesn't always go as planned.
Sometimes it snows in April
April symbolizes unpredictability and the unexpected nature of life.
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
The speaker experiences intense emotional pain.
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
Expressing a desire for an eternal life full of good things.
And all good things, they say, never last
Good things are believed to be transient, not lasting forever.
Springtime was always my favorite time of year
Springtime used to be a joyful season for the speaker.
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Spring was a time for lovers, but now it's associated with sorrow.
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Tracy's tears during springtime haunt the speaker.
Always cry for love, never cry for pain
Expressing a preference for crying over love rather than pain.
He used to say so strong, unafraid to die
Tracy was brave and unafraid of death.
Unafraid of the death that left me
The death of Tracy left the speaker hypnotized or deeply affected.
Hypnotized
Tracy was unafraid even in the face of a mesmerizing death.
No, staring at his picture I realized
Looking at Tracy's picture, the speaker realizes the depth of their grief.
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
Tracy's ability to express emotions through tears was unique.
Sometimes it snows in April
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life in April.
Sometimes I feel so bad
The speaker feels intense emotions, possibly grief or regret.
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending
Expressing a wish for an eternal and unending life.
But all good things, they say, never last
Reiterating the transient nature of all good things.
I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
The speaker dreams of Tracy being in heaven.
I know that he has found another friend
Believing that Tracy has found another friend in the afterlife.
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
Speculating that Tracy has found answers to the uncertainties of April.
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
Expressing hope of reuniting with Tracy in the future.
Sometimes it snows in April
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life in April.
Sometimes I feel so bad
Repeating the intense emotional turmoil experienced by the speaker.
So bad
Emphasizing the depth of emotional pain.
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
Expressing a desire for an eternal and unending life.
But all good things, they say, never last
Reiterating the transient nature of all good things.
But all good things they say, never last
Stating the common belief that good things don't last forever.
And love, it isn't love until it's past
Defining love as truly being love when it becomes a memory of the past.
