It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing Melancholy: A Symphony of Restlessness and Yearning
Lyrics
Im as restless as a willow in a windstorm,
Feeling unsettled and constantly shifting, akin to a willow tree swaying in a storm.
Im as jumpy as a puppet on a string,
Being nervous and twitchy, like a puppet controlled by external forces.
Id say that I had spring fever,
Seeming to have symptoms of spring fever (restlessness, excitement), though aware that it's not actually springtime.
But I know it isnt spring.
Recognizing the contradiction of experiencing spring-like feelings despite the actual season.
Im as starry eyed and gravely discontented,
Feeling both romantic and discontented, akin to a nightingale without a song.
Like a nightingale without a song to sing.
Expressing a desire to have a purpose or something fulfilling to engage in.
Oh, why should I have spring fever,
Questioning why experiencing spring fever when it's not the appropriate time of the year.
When it isnt even spring?
Continuing to question the reason behind feeling these emotions outside of spring.
I keep wishing I were somewhere else,
Longing to be in a different place or situation.
Walking down a strange new street,
Imagining oneself in a new, unfamiliar environment.
Hearing words I have never never heard,
Hoping to hear new and unfamiliar words from a yet-to-be-met person.
From a man Ive yet to meet.
Anticipating meeting someone new and experiencing novel conversations.
Im as busy as a spider spinning daydreams,
Being occupied with creating fanciful dreams, like a spider spinning a web.
Im as giddy as a baby on a swing,
Feeling lightheaded and joyful, akin to a baby on a swing.
I havent seen a crocus or a rosebud,
Not having observed traditional signs of spring (flowers, birds).
Or a robin or a bluebird on the wing,
Despite the lack of physical signs of spring, experiencing happiness in a bittersweet manner.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way,
Feeling cheerful in a contradictory way, aligning with the emotions of spring despite the season.
That it might as well be spring,
Expressing that the feelings of spring are so strong that it might as well be spring despite the actual time of year.
It might as well be, might as well be,
Reiterating the sentiment that it feels like spring despite the reality.
It might as well be spring.
Repeating the idea that the current emotions are so strong that they might as well be associated with spring.
