September
Ben and his friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A flurry of snow on September 29th
I think I have to go and get away for a little while
I wish I could go to Venice or Rome but for now I will make do
Flying away in my mind with you
The steam from my bath
Trickles downward and pools by the door
It seems that I'm marooned, I'll wait it out with a glass of wine or four
I tilt my head back and stare at the crack in the ceiling, my vision turns blue
Floating away in my mind with you
Am I waiting, or moving
Growing or losing
Flying, floating, falling, drowning
Shifting, changing
Lying, progressing, surviving, impressing
Giving and grieving, taking and leaving
And loving
Loving
The first light of dawn spills so gently into my room
It lands on my pillow
Strange black smudges and unfamiliar, sweet perfume
A coffee, a text, the 'what happens next?'




Any certainty is through
And still I enjoy, drifting away from you

Overall Meaning

The song "September" by Ben and his friends is a reflective piece about the state of the singer's mind and their emotional journey. The lyrics represent a shift in the season from summer to autumn, with the mention of snowfall on September 29th. The singer expresses a desire to escape, to fly away to Venice or Rome, but for the time being, they will have to make do with escaping in their mind. They then describe their current situation of being marooned with a glass of wine and staring at a crack in the ceiling.


The chorus of the song, "Am I waiting, or moving, growing or losing, flying or floating, falling or drowning, shifting or changing, lying or progressing, surviving or impressing, giving or grieving, taking or leaving, and loving, loving" captures the singer's sense of confusion and introspection. They are questioning their current state and wondering if they are making progress or regressing.


The second verse of the song describes the first light of dawn entering the singer's room, landing on their pillow, and the unfamiliar scent of sweet perfume. They receive a coffee and a text, wondering what will happen next, with no certainty in sight. Despite the uncertainty, the singer takes pleasure in drifting away, presumably from a tumultuous relationship or situation.


Overall, "September" is a song that captures the feeling of being stuck in a situation, unsure of what is to come, and questioning personal growth and progress.
