Evenstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cold is blowing in my room
And i'm awake i finally feel alright
And i know the end is coming soon
And i know that this night nothing stands in our way
I play the scenes back in my mind
I hit fast forward and rewind
Though its been overdone
A favorite frame for everyone
Re-direct your scene one last time
While november sleeps tonight
Cold december creeps tonight
And tomorrow begins your life without me
So right now we say goodnight
And tomorrow we say goodbye
And tomorrow begins your life without me
The cold is blowing in my room
The daylight's fading much too soon
This is how your story ends
While november sleeps tonight
Cold december creeps tonight
And tomorrow begins your life without me
So right now we say goodnight
And tomorrow we say goodbye
And tomorrow begins your life without me...
The song "November" by Evenstar tells the story of someone who is spending the last night with a loved one before they have to leave forever.

They have finally come to accept that the end is near and that they must say goodbye. In this moment, nothing stands in their way, and the singer can reflect on their memories with peace.
As they look back on their time together, the singer says they often replay the same scenes in their mind. They hit fast forward and rewind, constantly revisiting the moments they have shared. Although this might feel like an overdone cliche, it is a favorite frame for everyone, signaling that the memories are both sentimental and universal. However, the singer also knows that they need to redirect their focus and experience this last night fully.
The song's climax lies in the refrain that is repeated throughout the song, "And tomorrow begins your life without me." The singer recognizes that their time together is over, and they will soon say goodbye. The cold and dark seasons of November and December serve as a fitting metaphor for the singer's emotions. As November sleeps tonight, cold December creeps tonight, signaling the singer's impending departure.
