Leaves
Nature's Battle: A Symphony of Leaves
Lyrics
I bet there's a war up in the trees
There is a conflict or struggle in the trees.
Between the green and the yellow leaves
The conflict involves the green and yellow leaves.
With bloodshed that we've never seen
Implies intense violence or warfare not witnessed before.
Green leaves decide they want a treaty
The green leaves express a desire for a truce.
Yellow leaves groan, know they're undefeated
The yellow leaves acknowledge their undefeated status with a sigh.
Leave it to the tide and the autumn breeze
Leaving the resolution to natural forces like tide and autumn breeze.
You never realise at the time
Realization often comes too late.
The more you hold onto head
Suggests a negative consequence of holding onto one's ego or pride.
The more you lie
Emphasizes the correlation between holding onto one's head and lying.
And it might be true that we're made just to die
Contemplates the possibility that human existence is destined for death.
But everyday that I see you
Despite existential thoughts, the presence of someone makes life meaningful.
Made me stay, for a while
The speaker is compelled to stay for a while due to the influence of someone.
Remember a race, with a cart and stead
Recalls a race involving a cart and a steed.
Ticking on a timer, what a fearful beast
Highlights the inevitability of time, represented by a ticking timer.
Always finds humour to be out of reach
Suggests a difficulty in finding humor, perhaps in challenging situations.
Crashing down the road at a break neck speed
Describes a fast and chaotic journey down a road.
Snorting in the horses as they dodge and weave
Depicts a scene with horses maneuvering skillfully to avoid obstacles.
Ben-Hur had the course and we had the feast
References "Ben-Hur," implying a memorable and festive occasion.
You never realise at the time
Reiterates the theme of realization coming too late.
The more you hold onto head
Re-emphasizes the negative consequences of holding onto one's ego.
The more you lie
Reiterates the connection between holding onto one's head and lying.
And it might be true that we're made just to die
Revisits the contemplation of human existence and mortality.
But everyday that I see you
Despite existential thoughts, the presence of someone continues to be significant.
Made me stay, for a while
The influence of someone keeps the speaker engaged in life for a while.
