Leaves All Yellow
Autumn's Embrace: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Yellow Leaves
Lyrics
She been waiting there
Expresses that the woman has been patiently waiting.
She don't like the color of her hair
She dislikes the color of her hair.
Says she don't care
Despite her claim, she doesn't really care.
But she don't like what she sees in the mirror
She dislikes her reflection in the mirror.
She goes to the car looks around and
She goes to her car, showing signs of anxiety.
Starts tapping on the wheel
She taps on the wheel, trying to calm herself.
Just to try and calm her nerves
Her nervousness prompts this action.
She's standing outside the door
She is standing outside a door.
There's someone watching from behind the gate
Someone is watching her from behind a gate.
Can she escape?
There's a sense of urgency or danger; can she escape?
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
The autumn air has turned the leaves yellow, symbolizing change or transition.
(I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting)
A hopeful line suggesting a belief in an afterlife for those in pain.
She don't want no touch of a man
She rejects romantic involvement with a man.
She said that she's been doing fine
She claims to be doing well alone on a Monday morning ride.
Alone on this Monday morning ride
Reiteration of her solitary state on a Monday morning.
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
Reiteration of the changing autumn leaves.
I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting
Reiteration of the hope for an afterlife for the suffering.
Alone on this Monday morning ride
Reiteration of her solitary state on a Monday morning.
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
Reiteration of the changing autumn leaves.
He's been waiting there
Now the focus shifts to a male character waiting.
He always loved the color of her hair
He always liked the color of her hair.
Say's he don't care
Similar to the woman, he claims not to care.
No one ever said that life is fair
A general statement about the unfairness of life.
He approaches her now from across the yard
He approaches her across the yard, indicating a connection.
Takes another breath and he hits her hard
He takes a breath and physically harms her.
And he knows that she will never come back again
Consequence: he knows she won't come back again.
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
Reiteration of the changing autumn leaves.
(I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting)
Reiteration of the hope for an afterlife for the suffering.
She don't want no touch of a man
Reiteration of her aversion to romantic touch.
She said that she's been doing fine
Reiteration of her claim to be doing fine alone.
Alone on this Monday morning ride
Reiteration of her solitary state on a Monday morning.
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
Reiteration of the changing autumn leaves.
