Autumn
Boots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment




Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Overall Meaning

In the song "Autumn" by Boots, the artist is describing the feelings of longing and sadness that come with the changing of seasons. The falling leaves outside his window symbolize the end of a relationship and the memories of summer love that he still holds onto. The lyrics "I see your lips, the summer kisses, the sun-burned hands I used to hold" suggest that he is reminiscing on the good times he shared with his lover during the warmer months. However, he acknowledges that since his lover has gone away, the days grow longer and winter is coming. The final line "But I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall" is a poignant reminder of the pain of lost love.


The second verse of the song, sung in French, deepens the sense of loss and longing. It speaks of a love that was once strong and equal, but has been separated by the passing of time. The phrase "Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis" (And the sea erases on the sand the steps of separated lovers) is a melancholic image that highlights the fleeting nature of love and life.

I’m so thankful that I found your YouTube account during the first lockdown. I’m 18 and before I started watching you I was influenced by other content creators around my age. I never really felt happy/confident in the clothing that I wore until I started watching you and Freddy. I no longer have to wear jeans🥳 (I’ve always hated wearing jeans. I used to throw a fit whenever I put them on as a young child😂). Now I’m comfy and stylish. What more could i want 😍🤷🏻‍♀️

Esme Rose

@Vash Andree ah I’ve had a look at your account and you’re always commenting negative things on other people so, you’re the problem not me. Have a blessed day 🤍

Esme Rose

I love the Chloe shearling boots! One time I bought boots like your expensive wellies and people would comment on how great they look and I must have paid a lot but I hadn’t! Your lifestyle suits that type of boot. Keep them. Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
