When October Goes
Embracing Nostalgia: When October Fades Away
Lyrics
And when October goes
Reflecting on the departure of October
The snow begins to fly
Symbolizing the onset of winter with snowfall
Above the smokey roofs
Observing from a vantage point above buildings covered in smoke or mist
I watch the planes go by
Watching airplanes passing by
The children running home
Depicting the scene of children rushing home
Beneath a twilight sky
Under a sky tinged with fading light
Oh, for the fun of them
Nostalgically longing for the enjoyment experienced by children
When I was one of them
Reminiscing about a time when the speaker was a child
And when October goes
Repetition emphasizing the departure of October
The same old dream appears
Indicates a recurring dream during this time
And you are in my arms
Imagining being with a loved one from the past
To share the happy years
Sharing moments of happiness with the mentioned person
I turn my head away
Turning away to conceal vulnerable emotions
To hide the helpless tears
Expressing feelings of helplessness through tears
Oh, how I hate
Expressing strong dislike for the departure of October
To see October go
Expressing sadness or regret at the passing of October
And when October goes
Reiteration of the recurring dream related to October's departure
The same old dream appears
Reflecting on the imagined presence of the loved one during this time
And you are in my arms
Imagining being together with the loved one in the past
To share the happy years
Sharing joyful moments with the mentioned person
I turn my head away
Turning away to hide emotional vulnerability
To hide the helpless tears
Expressing feelings of helplessness through concealed tears
Oh, how I hate
Strongly disliking the departure of October
To see October go
Reiterating sadness or regret about October ending
I should be over it now I know
Admitting awareness of the need to move past these feelings
It doesn't matter much
Asserting that age does not diminish the significance of October's departure
How old I grow
Expressing continued dislike for the end of October despite aging
I hate to see October go
Reiterating the strong dislike for October's departure
