November
Embracing Change: From Dislike to Acceptance in November
Lyrics
I think I just now stopped
I have just recently stopped or paused.
To look around
Taking a moment to observe my surroundings.
For the first time in awhile
For the first time in a while.
It seems like things are starting to slow down
It appears that things are starting to slow down now.
Now
This is the present moment.
So I can look back on it, yeah
Reflecting on the past.
Used to hate November but
I used to dislike November, but
I'm coming around
I am changing my perspective or attitude.
To the yellow, red, brown, with the green underneath
Appreciating the colors of autumn: yellow, red, brown, with green underneath.
I just wanna be me, yeah
Expressing a desire to be oneself.
But I don't think that you want me
Believing that others may not want the true self.
Summers hanging on a tree
Metaphorically, good times are represented as hanging on a tree like fruit in summer.
But I'm looking for Spring
Seeking a positive and rejuvenating season, like Spring.
When you called last night
Reference to a phone call from the night before.
You said you were alright with me
Assurance received during the call that everything is fine.
But when the phone hung up
Realization of the end when the call abruptly ends.
I knew our time was up right then
Understanding that the relationship has reached its conclusion.
I know our time here's short
Acknowledging the brevity of time in this life.
But i'm just asking for
Asking for a final kiss.
One last kiss
Expressing a desire for a meaningful farewell.
But you never liked the way that I would sing to you
Reflecting on a past aspect of the relationship: singing.
Did you?
Questioning if the partner ever appreciated the singing.
Used to hate November but
Reiterating a previous dislike for November, but
I'm coming around
Continued change in perspective or attitude.
To the yellow, red, brown, with the green underneath
Appreciating the beauty of autumn colors.
I just wanna be me, yeah
Expressing a desire to be oneself.
But I don't think that you want me
Belief that others may not accept the true self.
Summers hanging on a tree
Metaphorical representation of good times hanging on a tree like fruit in summer.
But I'm looking for Spring
Seeking a positive and refreshing season, akin to Spring.
Baby I let all this time pass me by
Regret for letting time pass without meaningful actions.
Whether it was gettin high or being low
Whether in highs or lows, recognizing the need for positive change.
I'll do myself a favor
Deciding to make positive changes moving forward.
From here on out, I know, yeah
A commitment to a new perspective and understanding.
