When October Goes
Embracing Nostalgia: When October Fades Away
Lyrics
And when October goes
October is coming to an end
The snow begins to fly
Winter begins, indicated by snowfall
Above the smokey roofs
Observing from a vantage point, possibly a cityscape
I watch the planes go by
Watching airplanes passing overhead
The children running home
Children rushing home during evening time
Beneath a twilight sky
Under the dim light of dusk
Oh, for the fun of them
Longing for the joy experienced as a child
When I was one of them
Recalling a time when the speaker was part of that youthful exuberance
And when October goes
Repetition of October ending, bringing back memories
The same old dream appears
A recurring dream resurfaces with the changing season
And you are in my arms
The dream includes being together with a loved one
To share the happy years
Sharing moments of happiness over the years
I turn my head away
Turning away to conceal emotions, likely sadness or vulnerability
To hide the helpless tears
Trying to hide tears that indicate a feeling of helplessness
Oh, how I hate
Expressing dislike for the passing of October
To see October go
Aversion to witnessing the end of October, perhaps due to associated memories
And when October goes
Repetition emphasizing the return of the same dream
The same old dream appears
Reiteration of the dream featuring the presence of a loved one
And you are in my arms
The dream scenario involves being held in the arms of the beloved
To share the happy years
Sharing joyful moments with the person in the dream
I turn my head away
Avoiding facing emotions by turning away again
To hide the helpless tears
Concealing tears that convey a sense of helplessness
Oh, how I hate
Expressing a strong dislike for the departure of October
To see October go
Continued aversion to seeing October end
I should be over it now I know
Realizing the need to move on from these emotions
It doesn't matter much
Recognizing that age doesn't diminish the impact of these feelings
How old I grow
Understanding that growing older doesn't change the sentiment towards October ending
I hate to see October go
Reaffirming the dislike for the departure of October
