Lyrics
Oh, I cry when the seasons change
Expressing sorrow and emotional response to changing seasons.
I lie and bury your name
Deceitfully hiding or suppressing someone's name.
I try to collect the rain
Attempting to capture and hold onto moments of sadness (rain).
Oh, I cry when the seasons change
Reiteration of emotional distress during seasonal changes.
But I live straight lines
Living a rigid and inflexible life.
I don't how to bend
Difficulty adapting to change, possibly leading to an unfortunate outcome.
That's where I meet my end
An inflexible life leads to a downfall, and this is where the narrator meets their end.
Without you
The impact of the inflexible life is felt more profoundly in the absence of a significant other.
Oh, I live in straight lines
Continuation of a rigid lifestyle.
I don't how to bend
Reiteration of the inability to adapt, resulting in the loss of a friend.
That's how I lost a friend
Highlighting the cause of losing a friend - inflexibility and lack of adaptability.
Oh, you
Referencing the person who was lost as "you."
Oh, I cry when the seasons change
Reiteration of emotional response to seasonal changes.
I lie to the bars of my cage
Lying to oneself, being confined or trapped (bars of a cage).
I smile to soften the rage
Smiling to conceal inner anger or frustration.
Oh, I cry when the seasons change
Emotional distress during seasons changing, echoing earlier lines.
But I live straight lines
Living a life without flexibility.
I don't how to bend
Reiterating the inability to bend or adapt, leading to an end.
That's where I meet my end
Consequence of inflexible living felt more acutely without a significant other.
Without you
Impact of inflexible life, echoing earlier lines.
Oh, I live in straight lines
Continued struggle with inflexibility.
I forget how to bend
Forgetting how to bend, possibly indicating a worsening situation.
That's where I lost a friend
Reiterating the loss of a friend due to inflexibility.
Oh, you
Referring again to the lost friend as "you."
Wash away, wash away
Symbolic washing away of emotions or troubles.
Wash away, wash away
-I collect the rainbows end
Trying to find positivity or hope (rainbow's end).
I bury my heart and cannot mend
Burying emotions and acknowledging a broken heart.
I'll bury, I'll bury and cannot mend
Repetition of burying emotions and an inability to mend.
But I live straight lines
Reiteration of inflexible living leading to the loss of a friend.
I don't how to bend
Continued struggle with bending or adapting.
That's where I lost a friend
Highlighting the cause of losing a friend - inflexibility and lack of adaptability.
Oh, you
Referring again to the lost friend as "you."
Oh, but I live in straight lines
Living a life without flexibility, echoing earlier lines.
I don't know how to bend
Reiteration of the inability to bend or adapt, leading to an end.
That's how I lost a friend
Highlighting the cause of losing a friend - inflexibility and lack of adaptability.
Oh, you
Referring again to the lost friend as "you."
