Seasons
Corey Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing alone
In dreams I know you
Like I've known you before
They say lightning won't strike twice
But thunder will roll
I've felt the rain fall
So hold a mirror up to me, don't let me down
Seasons we go through, will always come around
I been wanting more, than what's left in this town
On the road again, I'll find my own season now
So hold a mirror up to me, don't let me down
Seasons we go through, will always come around
I been wanting more, than I can find in this town
On the road again, gonna find my own season now
In “Seasons,” Corey Harper taps into the theme of seasons and the idea that the situations and people we encounter during different times in our lives can deeply impact who we become. The song begins with the singer seeing someone he knows in a dream. Although he can’t place where he knows this person from in his waking life, there’s a sense of familiarity to her, as if they’ve met before. He then sings about the unpredictability of life and how, despite popular belief, unexpected events can and will happen a second time. He’s felt the impact of the rain, the snow, and other storms in his life, so he knows that anything is possible.
The chorus is an empowering call to action, with Harper asking for a “mirror” to be held up to him. He wants to see himself and his potential clearly, without any distortions. The “seasons we go through” serve as a reminder that everything is temporary, and that the good and bad times will all pass. The singer has been hoping for something more than what he’s been able to find in his current situation, and he’s decided to hit the road to find it for himself. He’s taking control of his life and forging his own path, regardless of what others might think or say.
Overall, “Seasons” is a song about embracing change and taking risks. It encourages listeners to recognize that life is full of ups, downs, and unexpected surprises, but that we always have the power to shape our own future.
