Scarecrow
Eternal Echoes: Unveiling the Seasonal Symphony of Scarecrow
Lyrics
Warmer skies promise to
Anticipation of better times or outcomes represented by warmer weather and skies.
Tell me my future
Curiosity about one's own destiny or what lies ahead in life.
The clouds race ahead
Rapid movement of thoughts or time, symbolized by fast-moving clouds.
And the mist slips through my fingers
A sense of loss or inability to hold onto something intangible, like memories slipping away.
Here in the light of this
Being in the brightness of a lingering sunset.
Leftover sun
The remnants or remains of daylight, indicating the past or what's left behind.
Your memory takes my hand and to
Recollection of a memory that guides or influences the present.
Eternity we run
An aspiration for a timeless connection with that memory.
Over these fields in which I've
Metaphorically referring to sharing personal truths or experiences.
Sowed all my secrets
The act of nurturing personal secrets in one's life.
Tend to this garden
An allegorical garden symbolizing one's life experiences or personal growth.
I pray to God I'll keep it
Hoping to preserve and safeguard those personal experiences or growth.
There in the distance
An image of something distant or unattainable represented by the scarecrow.
Beyond the long-shadowed scarecrow
Symbolic of an obstacle or hindrance preventing growth or progress.
Birds peck half-buried seeds
Life's struggles hindering development, as represented by birds pecking at buried seeds.
It's no wonder nothing grows
A realization that progress is stunted or hindered due to prevailing difficulties.
Oh, they ask me where the time goes
Others inquire about the passage of time, but the narrator lacks an answer.
But I don't know
A reflection of being present in moments rather than keeping track of time.
I spend it in the meadows
Spending time in peaceful or serene surroundings.
I feel you here in heart and
A feeling of someone's presence in the narrator's heart and soul.
Spirit, and if I listen through
Sensing the essence or energy of the absent person, particularly through nature.
The wind, your voice I swear
A strong belief or feeling of hearing the absent person's voice in the wind.
I almost hear it
An almost tangible sense of hearing the absent person's voice in nature.
In dried-up grass
Symbolic remnants or echoes of the absent person's joy or happiness.
The remnants of your laugh
The memory of the absent person's laughter still present among memories.
Takes its place among the fallen
Symbolizing the cycle of life, laughter taking its place among past experiences.
But spring is coming, I can taste the pollen
An anticipation of renewal or a fresh start represented by the approaching spring.
And every year this season's depression
An annual recurrence of emotional distress during a particular season.
Burrows deep within my chest
A profound emotional impact during a specific season, possibly winter.
But winter changes just like
A recognition that seasons, like emotions, are subject to change.
All the rest
Winter, despite its harshness, undergoes transformation just like everything else.
