The Longest Month
Embracing the Chill: The Longest Month's Melancholic Ode to February
Lyrics
Sun is out, but it's not bright.
Sun is shining, but the atmosphere feels gloomy.
Snow on the ground is gray, not white.
The snow on the ground lacks its usual pristine whiteness.
Christmas bells are far, far away,
Christmas spirit seems distant and unattainable.
But it's still two months, ‘til we reach May.
Despite the current difficulties, there are still two months until the arrival of May (a symbol of better times).
February, how I hate thee!
Expressing strong dislike and frustration towards the month of February.
February, how I hate thee!
-Well you may say it's your birthday; or you may say you were in love.
Discussing various reasons people might like February, such as birthdays, love, or Valentine's Day, but personally rejecting these notions and humorously suggesting a May birth for those born in February.
Maybe you just love Valentine's Day, so February is what you're dreaming of.
-cs for me, I'd say you're crazy. There's only one thing else to say,
-If you were born in February, your folks were getting on in the merry month of May.
-Spring time, O Spring time, come back soon, come back soon;
Longing for the return of springtime, emphasizing the desire for a more positive and vibrant season.
O Spring time, O Spring time, come back soon!
-Maybe you like the snowfall, getting buried under ice.
Highlighting the negative aspects of winter, including being snowed in and the potential for cabin fever.
Getting locked up in your home, making monsters out of roommates who were nice.
-cs for me, I am crazy for the summertime rains
Expressing a personal preference for summertime rains and thunderstorms over the hardships of winter.
Thunderstorms in the afternoon that roll in quick and then quickly roll away.
-Spring time, O Spring time, come back soon, come back soon
Reiterating the anticipation and yearning for the return of springtime.
O Spring time, O Spring time, come back soon!
