Lyrics
The leaves keep falling down
The natural cycle of leaves falling continues.
And follow my spirits
My emotions or essence follow the falling leaves.
As the seasons go by
Observing the changing seasons over time.
Even though you’re not there to see it
Despite your absence, the seasonal changes persist.
Even though you’re not there to see it
Reiteration of the impact of your absence on witnessing changes.
Where will I go
Expressing uncertainty and questioning the future destinations.
Where will I go
-Where will I go
-The sea keeps having its tides
The sea continues its natural ebb and flow.
The wind keeps blowing up my skirt in summer
Wind symbolically lifts the speaker's spirits in summer.
The rain keeps falling down
Rain symbolizes challenges or difficulties persisting.
The earth keeps spinning round
Earth's rotation, a metaphor for the continuity of life.
Even though you’re not there to see it
Reiteration of changes happening without your presence.
What will I do
Questioning and contemplating actions in the absence of a significant other.
What will I do
-What will I do
-Call me up late at night
Desiring late-night communication.
What do I do with feelings all bottled up
Dealing with bottled-up emotions and uncertain actions.
How is melancholy still hip
Reflecting on the persistence of melancholy as a trend.
I don’t like feeling like this
Expressing discomfort with the current emotional state.
But it’s not like I have a choice
Acceptance of the lack of control over emotions.
How will I go
Questioning the future path or direction.
How will I go
-How will I go
-Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Expressing emotion with vocal sounds.
The earth is still spinning
Assertion that life continues despite your absence.
Even though you’re not in it
Highlighting the ongoing nature of life without you.
Time still goes by
Time continues to pass, emphasizing its inevitability.
However will I make it
Expressing difficulty in coping with the passage of time.
The moon still comes out
The moon's appearance, perhaps symbolizing hope.
And it’s so hard to take it
Struggling to accept the reality represented by the moon.
Although the stars are shining bright
Stars shining bright, contrasting with the speaker's feelings.
There’s no way I can fake it
Recognition of the inability to fake or hide emotions.
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Repetition of vocal sounds expressing emotion.
Shining bright
Reiteration of the brightness of stars, possibly symbolizing hope amid challenges.
Stars come out
-Shining bright
