Better Days Ahead
Embracing Change: A Journey Through Life's Seasons
Lyrics
See the edges start to fade
Observing the gradual disappearance of boundaries or limitations.
As autumn leaves begin to fall
Symbolizing a change, akin to the falling of autumn leaves.
All my friends are here to stay
Expressing the presence and enduring nature of friendships.
Enjoying this golden age
Enjoying a period of prosperity or happiness.
It's times like these when life's a dream
Highlighting dreamlike moments during certain phases of life.
Every memory's a movie scene
Recalling memories as if they were scenes from a movie.
When I'm out of here, these days will still be clear
Anticipating that the clarity of these days will persist even after leaving.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Expressing a sense of longing and the impending absence of someone.
The sun drops down below the trees
Describing the transition from day to night with the setting sun.
The air is cold, the sky turns grey
Setting a cold and somber atmosphere as winter approaches.
As New Years' comes we all look back
Reflecting on the past as the New Year begins.
A longing glance as we move on
Expressing a wistful look back while moving forward.
And even then I stopped to save
Pausing to preserve a moment, perhaps through a photograph.
A photograph of better days
Preserving memories of happier times for future reflection.
Because as seasons pass the world we know will change
Acknowledging the inevitable changes as seasons pass.
And better days seem far away
Expressing a sense that better days may seem distant.
Far away
Reiterating the distance of these better days.
The life you want is ripped away
Describing a sudden loss of the desired life.
You're all alone with no way home
Conveying a feeling of isolation with no apparent way to return.
The storm destroyed and washed away
Depicting the devastation and loss caused by a storm.
Everything you've ever known
Losing familiarity with everything due to a calamity.
But even when the flood pours down
Highlighting the resilience of nature to find a path even in adversity.
The waters find a way to recede
Emphasizing the receding of destructive forces.
To recede
Reiterating the retreat or withdrawal of negative influences.
When suddenly the night is gone
Expressing the sudden disappearance of darkness with the arrival of dawn.
The darkness flees under the sun
Describing the retreat of darkness in the presence of sunlight.
It's time that spring came 'round again
Welcoming the arrival of spring as a time of renewal.
Reminding us that sorrow ends
Reminding that sorrow is temporary and has an endpoint.
Someday our lives will have to change
Anticipating that life will inevitably undergo changes.
We can't keep standing in one spot
Encouraging movement and progression instead of remaining stagnant.
There's always better days ahead
Expressing optimism that better days are on the horizon.
The night is darkest before dawn
Using the metaphor of the darkest night before dawn to convey hope.
