Lyrics
Early morning procedure, time to greet the sun
Beginning the day with a routine, welcoming the sunrise.
Ain't no time for a breather 'till the work is done
No time to rest until the work is completed.
Feel the wind and a shiver as the trees turn brown
Sensing the change in weather as autumn arrives, depicted by shivering and wind.
See the crops start to wither as the leaves fall down
Observing the impact of the season on crops, symbolized by withering and falling leaves.
Leave the letter unopened 'till it all starts breaking down
Delaying the reading of a letter until facing challenges and difficulties.
The cold sleepless nights were slowly killing me
Reflecting on the negative impact of cold, sleepless nights in the past.
So I moved from the city to this quiet country town
Choosing to leave the city for a tranquil rural setting to escape difficulties.
Now I'm wide awake because I need to be, need to be
Being fully alert now out of necessity.
Getting by on a sliver since the snow came through
Surviving on limited resources since the snowfall.
Lots of fish in the river, only one is true
Highlighting the rarity of a true connection amidst abundance.
Soon we won't need a heater for a brand new day
Anticipating a warmer season where a heater won't be necessary.
Nothing else can be sweeter once it melts away
Expressing the unparalleled sweetness of life after challenges dissipate.
Leave the letter unopened 'till it all starts breaking down
Repeating the theme of delaying the reading of a letter until facing breakdowns.
The cold sleepless nights were slowly killing me
Recalling the adverse impact of sleepless nights, prompting the move to the countryside.
So I moved from the city to this quiet country town
Reiterating the decision to move to a quiet country town for peace.
Now I'm wide awake because I need to be, need to be
Remaining awake due to the newfound necessity for awareness.
Leave the letter unopened 'till it all starts breaking down
Continuing the theme of delaying a letter until facing challenges.
The cold sleepless nights were slowly killing me
Revisiting the impact of sleepless nights and the motivation to move to the countryside.
So I moved from the city to this quiet country town
Reaffirming the choice to reside in a quiet country town for peace.
Now I'm wide awake because I need to be, need to be
Emphasizing the continued state of alertness out of necessity.
