This Spring
Echoes of Love Lost: Veda Hille's Serenade to Vanishing Romance
Lyrics
This spring is the one
This spring is unique and exceptional.
That other springs were trying for
Previous springs were attempting to match the quality of this one.
Other seasons aim to be
Other seasons aspire to reach the same level.
The perfect light on perfect trees
Describing the ideal light on flawless trees.
The birds are brighter
The birds are more vibrant and lively.
The blossoms have achieved their peak
Blossoms have reached their peak, creating a visually stunning display.
Explosions in electric leaves
Electric leaves explode, symbolizing an intense burst of color and life.
Ridiculous abundance
There is an overwhelming and almost comical abundance of beauty.
The air attacks my lungs
The freshness of the air is overpowering.
The warm pale yellow sun
The sun is warm and has a pale yellow hue.
It knocks me down
The beauty of spring is so intense that it figuratively knocks the speaker down.
It slays me
Expressing the overwhelming impact of the spring, as if it slays the speaker emotionally.
So many perfect lively things
Referring to numerous perfect and lively things in spring.
This spring is the one
Reiteration that this spring is special.
I see it because you are gone
The speaker is aware of this extraordinary spring because someone dear is absent.
Love seemed sure
Love appeared promising around the new year.
Around the new year
Now, in April, love seems like a ghost, something elusive and intangible.
Now it's April
Highlighting the temporal nature of love and its change over time.
Love is just a ghost
Love is reduced to a ghostly presence, possibly hinting at a loss or absence.
Spring arrived on time
Despite the changes in love, spring arrives punctually.
Only what became of you, dear?
Questioning what happened to the person who was once dear.
Spring can really hang you up
Spring can evoke a sense of melancholy or emotional turmoil.
The most
Spring has the potential to deeply affect and disturb emotions.
