This Spring
Spring's Bittersweet Symphony: Love's Ghost in Bloom
Lyrics
This spring is the one
This particular spring stands out.
That other springs were trying for
Previous springs attempted to achieve what this one does.
Other seasons aim to be
Other seasons aspire to embody the same perfection.
The perfect light on perfect trees
Represents ideal illumination on flawless trees.
The birds are brighter
The birds appear more vibrant and lively.
The blossoms have achieved their peak
The flowers have reached their highest point of beauty.
Explosions in electric leaves
Describes vibrant foliage as explosions in electric colors.
Ridiculous abundance
Exaggerated abundance of beautiful things.
The air attacks my lungs
The atmosphere feels overwhelming and invigorating.
The warm pale yellow sun
Describes the warmth of the sun in a pale yellow hue.
It knocks me down (it slays me)
The overwhelming beauty is emotionally affecting (expression of being emotionally moved).
So many perfect lively things this spring
This spring is teeming with numerous perfect and lively things.
Is the one
Reiterates the significance of this particular spring.
I see it because you are gone
The speaker's ability to appreciate this spring is linked to the absence of someone they care about.
Love seemed sure, around the new year
At the beginning of the year, love felt certain.
Now it's April, love is just a ghost
By April, love has become intangible or elusive.
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you dear?
Despite spring's arrival, the person dear to the speaker is missing, leaving a sense of loss or absence.
Spring can really hang you up the most
Expresses the idea that springtime can evoke feelings of sadness or melancholy.
