Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Maybe you've been pouring everything into this
Your mistake of this attends to agony
You can't predict this when it comes to it
You can hide from it, but don't you surrender anything
Don't you know that
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be learned to you?
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing (I tell you that)
All these things happen
All these things happen for a reason
Don't you go on and throw it all away
When the seasons change, you gonna change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurts me to see you feel this way, but it won't be always
Don't you know everything got to change? Oh
Feel like all your hope is gone
You can't carry on, but there's nothing wrong, oh
You don't have to pretend with me
Don't you know that
That patience is a virtue? (Yes, it has)
And life is a waiting game
Don't you know that
Peace must be learned to you?
All the money in the world can buy you nothing (let me tell you that)
All these things happen
All these happen for a reason
Don't you go and throw it all the way
When the seasons change...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, when the seasons change, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The song Seasons Change by Corinne Bailey Rae is about going through tough times and realizing that change is inevitable. The song suggests that no matter how difficult life may seem in the moment, there is always the possibility of change. The lyrics "Maybe you've been pouring everything into this, Your mistake of this attends to agony" refers to someone who has been trying their hardest to make something work, but ultimately fails. The singer is trying to console this person, telling them not to give up and to remember that patience is a virtue, and that peace must be learned.
The chorus "All these things happen for a reason, Don't you go and throw it all the way, When the seasons change..." reinforces the message of the song - that even though things may be tough sometimes, there is always the possibility of change, and you don't want to give up before it comes. The seasons refer to the ups and downs of life, and just like the seasons change, so too will the singer's circumstances. Overall, the song is a message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to keep going no matter what life throws their way.
