Molly Haskell
Seasons of Love: Nostalgia, Heartstrings, and Morning Reflections
Lyrics
Remember summer, how it came and went?
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of summer and its passing.
Had the whole world in the palm of my hands
Feeling a sense of control and influence over the world.
There's no need to decode what it meant to me
Expressing that some experiences are deeply personal and resist simplification.
Ice skating, I wish you were here
Longing for someone's presence during an activity like ice skating.
Brand new beanie sitting on your ears
Describing a new beanie and the anticipation of sharing it with someone.
Watch your breathing as it floats up next to mine
Noticing the intimacy in synchronized breathing with a significant other.
There's cobwebs covering all the heartstrings that I have
Metaphorically indicating neglected or abandoned emotions.
I'm cynical enough to know when I should be glad
Acknowledging a certain level of skepticism, especially in moments of potential happiness.
It's not so hard to tell you all the feelings I have
Expressing openness in sharing emotions and feelings with someone.
It's not something I should run away from
Recognizing the importance of facing emotions instead of avoiding them.
Molly Haskell in the morning time
Referring to a specific time or person (Molly Haskell) in the morning, suggesting a significant memory.
Big words are glazing over my eyes
Feeling overwhelmed or distracted by complex or profound thoughts.
I'll watch a movie, then I'll fall right back to sleep
Escaping reality through movies as a way to cope or find solace.
Remember autumn, how it came and went?
Recalling the passage of autumn and its implications.
I never wanna see the money I spent
Expressing regret or hesitation about past expenditures.
What's a dollar if I'm rich and far from you?
Questioning the value of material wealth when distant from someone important.
There's cobwebs covering all the heartstrings that I have
Reiteration of neglected or abandoned emotions through metaphorical cobwebs.
I'm cynical enough to know when I should be glad
Maintaining a cautious and realistic perspective, even in positive situations.
It's not so hard to tell you all the feelings I have
Reiterating the willingness to express deep emotions to someone.
It's not something I should run away from
Emphasizing the importance of confronting emotions rather than avoiding them.
