Season's Greetings
Asyla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leeching to my very hopes and dreams
Leaving doubt and fear to overgrow and cover
My garden that I have slaved
Over for so long
I put my blood and my sweat into all my regrets
So they would grow to be a part of me
But I did not know of the cost
I searched for my purpose and counted it lost
I'm just trying to say
If we're under control
Let's hope it holds
And it doesn't weight much
Because I am feeling old, brittle, fragile
And I won't support this
Fight to bring some new light to your opaque life
And stare failure dead in the face
Rebuild your cause
Stand by the ones that you love and just pray
For the season to break
And shatter the sadness
That you've kept by mistake
But I cannot deny
The hopelessness that I have built up inside
I know you can hear me
If we're under control
Let's hope it holds
And it doesn't weight much
Because I am feeling old, brittle, fragile
And I won't support this
If we're under control
Let's hope it holds
And it doesn't weight much
Because I am feeling old, brittle, fragile
And I won't support this
Pace at your stride
Face your dark side
Pace at your stride
Face your dark side
The lyrics of "Season's Greetings" by Asyla convey a sense of anxiety and hopelessness. The opening lines describe a feeling of unease and discomfort with something ominous crawling under the skin. The metaphor suggests a sense of internal conflict, which is preventing the singer from achieving their hopes and dreams. Doubt and fear are depicted as things that have overgrown and covered the singer's garden, symbolizing their life's work and aspirations. The mention of blood and sweat suggests the effort that the singer has put into their endeavors, which have now become a part of them.
However, the singer feels that they did not fully understand the cost of their choices. They don't know if they are truly in control of their circumstances, and they fear that they are old, brittle, and fragile. They express a desire to fight and bring light to their opaque life, but they also acknowledge the hopelessness that they have built up inside. The repeated refrain of "If we're under control, let's hope it holds" emphasizes the sense of uncertainty and the need to find some stability amidst the chaos.
The song's message is ultimately one of perseverance and resilience. The singer urges the listener to rebuild their cause and stand by the people they love. The hope is that the season will break and shatter the sadness that's been kept by mistake. The final lines suggest that one must pace at their stride and face their dark side, accepting the difficulties that come with life while continuing to move forward.
