A Losing Season
Leaving Behind Familiar Seasons: A Journey into Cold Realities
Lyrics
So you're leaving here for sure
Expressing certainty about someone leaving.
Going where they wear jackets there much more
Referring to a place where people wear jackets more frequently, possibly implying a colder or distant location.
You know the seasons ain't the same
Highlighting the difference in seasons between the current location and the intended destination.
I recall the one that you came
Recalling a particular season or memory associated with the person leaving.
Count the times that I'll be wrong tonight
Acknowledging personal fallibility and anticipating making mistakes.
Lets be honest, I won't even try
Conceding that honesty may be lacking or that trying to be honest is unlikely.
You know just what to expect
Indicating familiarity with the challenges ahead, specifically emphasizing the predictability of harsh weather.
Endless days, endless nights cold and wet
Describing the harsh conditions of endless cold and wet days and nights.
Well, no one knows each other there
Pointing out a lack of mutual understanding or connection in the new place.
They walk on by, walk on by, they just don't care
Observing people walking by without caring, suggesting a sense of isolation or indifference.
Grasp the shoulder cardinal by the throat
Using metaphorical language, possibly expressing a desire to confront challenges directly.
Burn the letters that you never wrote
Suggesting a symbolic act of letting go by burning unread letters.
Anywhere you hang your head is not your home
Stating that any place where one feels defeated is not a true home.
Nothing here to eat, but our own
Emphasizing the scarcity or lack of sustenance, both literal and metaphorical.
I don't have time for problems like these
Offering a conditional statement about removing oneself from burdens if the other party reciprocates.
I'd get off your back if you got off your knees
Encouraging the other person to stand up for themselves and not be subservient.
