It Might as Well Be Spring
Embracing Melancholy Bliss: "It Might as Well Be Spring" Interpretation
Lyrics
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I feel extremely unsettled, akin to a willow tree in a stormy wind.
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I am nervous and jittery, similar to a puppet controlled by strings.
I'd say that I had spring fever
I might attribute my feelings to spring fever, but I am aware that it is not actually spring.
But I know it isn't spring
Despite the resemblance to spring fever, the current season is not spring.
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
I am filled with a dreamy, unfocused dissatisfaction, like a nightingale without a song.
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Similar to a nightingale lacking a song, I am vaguely discontented.
Oh, why should I have Spring fever
Why do I experience spring fever when it's not the spring season?
When it isn't even spring?
Questioning the reason behind having spring fever when spring is not underway.
I keep wishing I were somewhere else
I continuously desire to be somewhere different.
Walking down a strange new street
Imagining myself strolling down an unfamiliar street.
Hearing words that I have never heard
Hoping to hear unfamiliar words from a girl I haven't met yet.
From a girl I've yet to meet
A desire to encounter new experiences and interactions.
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
My mind is occupied with creating dreams, like a spider spinning a web.
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I feel lightheaded and carefree, similar to a baby on a swing.
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
Despite not witnessing signs of spring, such as crocuses, rosebuds, or robins, I experience a cheerful feeling.
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
Although in a melancholic way, I feel happy and carefree.
That it might as well be spring
Expressing that the current emotional state is so positive that it might as well be spring.
It might as well be spring
Concluding that the emotions are so positive that they might as well be associated with spring.
