Seasons Change
Ashes Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear the call, it's closing time
I sit and watch the seasons change
I watch them from my window pane
I wonder when and where I will go
And with who I don't know
I don't know what to do or to say
And take me away, take me away
You see the tears you think I've cried.
But find your fears aren't justified.
The pain I feel not on display
An old excuse just one of those days
I don't know what to do or to say
All I want is for somone to come
And take me away, take me away
I don't know what to do or to say
All I want is for somone to come
And take me away. God, take me away
Now I know
You are here
Now I know
I am not alone
inside
The song "Seasons Change" by Ashes Remain is a reflective piece about the changes that life brings. The opening lines set the stage by describing the singer looking at the stars and recognizing the signs of change that are coming. This imagery is coupled with the idea of "closing time" which adds a sense of finality to the changing of the seasons. The singer is then shown watching the world change from the safety of their own home, watching through the windowpane. The chorus then reveals the singer's uncertainty about what is to come and their desire for someone to take them away from it all.
The second verse shifts focus to the singer's inner turmoil. The tears that others see are not a reflection of the pain that they feel inside. The "old excuse" of just having a bad day is revealed to be a coping mechanism that the singer uses to mask their true emotions. This verse highlights the isolation that comes with struggling internally and suggests that the singer feels like no one truly understands their pain.
The final repetition of the chorus resolves the song by acknowledging that the singer is not alone. The line "now I know you are here, now I know I am not alone inside" suggests that the singer has found comfort in their faith, and that they are not alone in their struggles.
Overall, the song is a powerful statement about the struggles of change and the isolation that can come with internal turmoil. It suggests that finding comfort in faith or in another person can be the key to finding hope in difficult times.
