Seasons
Aniya Teno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little bird on my window
Tell me what′s goin' on hey babe
′Cus I don't wanna check my phone
Don't wanna get out my zone hey hey
Is it okay If I just wait and wade in these waters babe and dream
′Cus summer′s gone and time is fleeting
It's too cold
I hate this season

Call me when the sun comes back up
When the flowers bloom again
Call me when the sun shines
Melts the ice darling
And you fly again

Call me when the sun comes back up
When the flowers bloom again
Call me when the sun shines
Melts the ice darling
And you fly again
Little bird

Why′d you have to make such a mess hmm
I've been down I confess
But my generation healing for the next one
Screaming in the ears of everybody who deflects us
You can never get past love yeah

We been stuck for 4 years worth of seasons
Brown skin babies on the run from their demons
We look up and see the trees
I can finally feel the breeze
Little bird put me at ease

We been stuck for 4 years worth of seasons
Brown skin babies on the run from their demons
We look up and see the trees
I can finally feel the breeze
Little bird put me at ease

We been stuck for 4 years worth of seasons
Brown skin babies on the run from their demons
We look up and see the trees
I can finally feel the breeze
Little bird put me at ease

We been stuck for 4 years worth of seasons
Brown skin babies on the run from their demons
We look up and see the trees
I can finally feel the breeze
Little bird put me at ease

Little bird put me at ease yeah





Little bird put me at ease yeah no

Overall Meaning

In “Seasons,” Aniya Teno starts the song with a metaphor of a little bird on her window, asking it what’s going on because she doesn’t want to check her phone and doesn't want to leave her zone. This reveals her desire to escape reality and just dream, especially during the cold season. She longs for someone to call her when the sun returns, flowers bloom, and the ice melts so she can feel alive again just like how the bird flies in the sky. Aniya gives another metaphor of the bird putting her at ease because she’s been stuck for four years' worth of seasons with brown babies on the run from their demons. The repetition of this imagery emphasizes how stagnant she's felt for so long and her desperation for things to change. In the last part of the song, she declares that the little bird has put her at ease.


The metaphors used in the song suggest that the themes Aniya is exploring in “Seasons” are escapism and hope. The bird and the changing of seasons are used as motivators that allow her to dream and hope again. The song is not only a personal cry for help but a reflection of the struggles of her generation of brown skin babies. The idea of healing for the next generation shows her desire for things to improve and the scream to those who deflect the issue also demonstrates the urgency and necessity of taking it seriously.
