Anthony De La Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happens all the time
I say that I′m fine
I know it's a lie
There′s panic in this room
No one has a clue
I try to play it cool
While they're pouring the wine
Can't even remember him
I′m counting to ten trying to catch my breath
Maybe I′ll wake up feeling fine
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
I've got these storm clouds in my mind
So I sit and watch them passing by
Been here before
Drown in my feelings
Then let them go
Don′t need a reason
Can't blame myself
It′s just the seasons
It's just the seasons
I′m laying here alone
Spin-out of control
Can't seem to do the simple things
Like picking up the phone
But I hold on to the fact
That all things come to pass
Time it moves so fast
Maybe I'll wake up feeling fine
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
I′ve got these storm clouds in my mind
So I sit and watch them passing by
Been here before
Drown in my feelings
Then let them go
Don′t need a reason
Can't blame myself
It′s just the seasons
It's just the seasons
I just want to feel like myself again
Can′t even remember him
I'm counting to ten trying to catch my breath
Maybe I′ll wake up feeling fine
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
I've got these storm clouds in my mind
So I sit and watch them passing by
Been here before
Drown in my feelings
Then let them go
Don't need a reason
Can′t blame myself
It′s just the seasons
It's just the seasons
It′s just the seasons

The opening lines of the song, "Life flashed before my eyes, happens all the time" suggest that the person is going through some form of emotional or psychological upheaval. Despite being surrounded by people who are oblivious to their predicament, the singer tries to put up a facade of normalcy but struggles to contain their emotions.

Life flashed before my eyes
I had a moment where I saw my entire life at once
Happens all the time
It's a common feeling that I experience frequently
I say that I'm fine
I pretend everything is okay
I know it's a lie
But deep down I know it's not
There's panic in this room
Everyone can sense my anxiety
No one has a clue
But no one knows what's going on with me
I try to play it cool
I attempt to act normal despite feeling overwhelmed
While they're pouring the wine
Others are carrying on with their lives
I just want to feel like myself again
I want to return to a state of normalcy
Can't even remember him
I am struggling to move on from a previous relationship
I'm counting to ten trying to catch my breath
I am taking deep breaths to calm myself down
Maybe I'll wake up feeling fine
Perhaps I will feel better in the morning
Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Tomorrow might be a better day
I've got these storm clouds in my mind
My thoughts are turbulent
So I sit and watch them passing by
I am waiting for my thoughts to calm down
Been here before
I have felt this way previously
Drown in my feelings
I am overwhelmed by my emotions
Then let them go
But I try to release them rather than holding on
Don't need a reason
I don't require justification for my emotions
Can't blame myself
I shouldn't feel guilty about how I feel
It's just the seasons
It's just the normal ups and downs of life
I'm laying here alone
I am by myself
Spin-out of control
My thoughts are spiraling out of control
Can't seem to do the simple things
Daily tasks feel challenging
Like picking up the phone
Even making a phone call is difficult
But I hold on to the fact
I remind myself of the following
That all things come to pass
That anything I am experiencing will eventually fade over time
Time it moves so fast
Time is fleeting
It's just the seasons
It's just the normal ups and downs of life
It's just the seasons
It's just the normal ups and downs of life
