April
Ben Kessler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been unstable
I guess that's what happens when
You think love's fatal
Sweep it under the table
I've been so unstable but it's almost April
I get nostalgic when the weather changes
Sometimes I think that I can't face it
But changing seasons makes me shaken
I wanna another love like that
The kind you try to lock
Away but keeps coming back
I'm tryna get my life on track
Cut out all the noise and
Cut your heart in half
When it's April i think I'll be myself again
I've been unstable
I guess that's what happens when
You think love's fatal
Sweep it under the table
I've been so unstable but it's almost April
Thought if I lived enough
I would overwrite you
But it's too damn cold to leave my bedroom
What if the clouds don't ever break
And all I ever see is your face
Changing seasons makes me shake
When it's April i think I'll be myself again
I've been unstable
I guess that's what happens when
You think love's fatal
Sweep it under the table
I've been so unstable but it's almost April
When it's April i think I'll be myself again
I've been unstable
I guess that's what happens when
You think love's fatal
Sweep it under the table
I've been so unstable but it's almost April
In Ben Kessler's song "April," the lyrics convey a sense of anticipation and hope for a fresh start. The mention of April symbolizes a turning point or a change in circumstances. The singer acknowledges their recent state of instability, possibly due to a past relationship where they believed love to be dangerous. However, as April approaches, they feel a renewed sense of self and believe they will return to being their authentic self again.
The changing weather in April triggers nostalgia within the singer. They vividly dream about strangers who remind them of their past love. These dreams evoke mixed emotions, as the singer acknowledges the difficulty of confronting their memories. Yet, they also recognize that the changing seasons and the arrival of April impose a sense of unease or restlessness upon them.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's longing for a different kind of love, one that they have tried to push away but constantly resurfaces. They express the desire to get their life back on track by eliminating distractions and cutting the heartache in half.
In the bridge, the singer reflects on their attempts to move on from the past, suggesting that living life to the fullest would help erase the memories. However, they find it challenging to do so during the cold season, perhaps indicating that the emotional baggage remains inescapable for now. The notion of the clouds never breaking implies a perpetuation of sadness or longing, as the singer fears they will forever be haunted by the memories of their past love.
Overall, "April" portrays a narrative of hope, reflection, and the struggle to overcome a tumultuous love. The song explores the idea that the changing seasons can bring both a sense of renewal and a reminder of past pain, leaving the singer grappling with their emotions as April approaches.
