Spring Summer Winter and Fall
Eternal Seasons of Love's Journey
Lyrics
Spring, summer, winter and fall
Reference to the four seasons symbolizing the passage of time.
Keep the world in time,
Suggests the cyclical nature of life, with the world following a temporal order.
Spinning around like a ball,
Describes the continuous motion of life, akin to a ball spinning.
Never to unwind.
Implies that life's rhythm is perpetual and doesn't come to a halt.
Spring, summer, winter and fall
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of the seasons.
Are in everything.
Suggests that the seasons are omnipresent and part of everything.
I know in love we had them all,
Recalls experiencing all seasons in the past when love was present.
Now our love is gone.
Expresses the absence of love in the present.
This last thing
Refers to the current moment, possibly the end of a relationship.
Is passing now
Indicates the passage of time, likening it to the transition from summer to spring.
Like summer to spring,
Suggests a change, possibly in emotions or circumstances.
It takes me
Signifies the impact of the change on the speaker.
And wakes me now
Describes how the change affects and awakens the speaker.
Like seasons I'll change
Draws a parallel between the speaker and the changing seasons.
And then rearrange somehow.
Expresses the inevitability of change and adaptation.
Spring, summer, winter and fall
Repetition of the earlier mention of seasons and their role in the world.
Keep the world in time,
Reiterates the idea that seasons contribute to the passage of time.
Spinning around like a ball
Emphasizes the continuous and circular nature of life.
Never to unwind.
Stresses that life doesn't stop or unwind.
This last thing
Repetition of the theme of time passing and the inevitability of change.
Is passing now
Continues the comparison of time passing to the transition from summer to spring.
Like summer to spring,
Reiteration of the transformative nature of time.
It takes me
Reemphasizes the personal impact of change on the speaker.
And wakes me now
Describes how the change affects and awakens the speaker again.
Like seasons I'll change
Reiterates the speaker's parallel with the changing seasons.
And then rearrange somehow.
Acknowledges the inevitability of personal change and rearrangement.
Spring, summer, winter and fall

Keep the world in time,

Spinning around like a ball

Never, never to unwind.
