Lyrics
The leaves are changing colors
The changing colors of the leaves symbolize the passage of time and transition.
Just as there
Similarity between the changing colors and something mentioned by the mother, hinting at guidance or advice.
Mother said

Not to do

They're turning blue
The leaves turning blue may represent a sense of melancholy or sadness in the changing circumstances.
Gravitating down from space the wind
The wind carries the leaves from space, suggesting an external force influencing change and movement.
Carries them to some place new
The leaves are taken to a new place, reflecting the unpredictability of life's journey.
To find their truth
An aspiration for authenticity and self-discovery, represented by finding one's truth.
I miss the days when I couldn't care about a thing
Nostalgia for carefree days, free from concerns and worries.
And fear had nothing left to bring I do
Fear has become a significant factor, contrasting with the carefree days mentioned earlier.
When did you grow up
Raising a question about the timing of the process of growing up.
When did you find something to lose
Finding something to lose signifies a shift from a state of innocence to one of vulnerability.
When did you grow up
A repetition of the question, emphasizing the theme of growing up.
When did you come into
The entrance into a new phase or aspect of life.
The monsters underneath your bed are starting to sneak inside your head
The intrusion of negative thoughts or fears into the mind, possibly related to the monsters under the bed.
Draining us 'til death
Suggesting that life's challenges can be draining and exhausting.
It was all so simple then I felt as if my wings could spread
Reflecting on a time when life felt uncomplicated and full of possibilities.
And carry me on
A metaphorical desire for freedom and boundless potential.
Without an end
An expression of hope for an endless journey.
I hope you keep your colors and I hope
Wishing that one retains their vibrant and unique qualities.
The reason you believe is not 'cus someone told you to
Encouraging independent belief rather than conformity to external influence.
I hope you find your way and carry on with everything that
Wishing for the continuation of a purposeful and fulfilling life.
You know you were always meant to do
Emphasizing the pursuit of one's inherent calling and destiny.

A repetition of the nostalgia for carefree days.
And fear had nothing left to bring I do
A reminder of the intrusion of fear and worries into the present.
