Sometime In August
Faded Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For today, you believe in me, but you can't see me
You say that I will see you sometime, sometime in August
Oh today, the leaves are changing sometime in August
Take away all my pills, but leave my pain
Forgive me, for all my problems and for my mistake
You say that I will see you sometime, sometime in August
Oh today, the leaves are changing sometime in August
And now the time has come
For you to finally see
That I am broken down
And now the time has come
For you to finally see
That I am not coming around
You say that I will see you sometime, sometime in August
Oh today, the leaves are changing sometime in August
Sometime in August
is a poignant and heartbreaking song about the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle to come to terms with the fact that their partner no longer has faith in them or sees a future together. "You say what I never thought you'd say" suggests that the partner is voicing doubts or criticisms that the singer had never anticipated or considered. They feel betrayed by this, as they thought they had a strong connection that would endure any obstacles or setbacks. The line "For today, you believe in me, but you can't see me" reinforces this idea, as it reveals that the partner is unable to truly understand or appreciate the singer's struggles.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You say that I will see you sometime, sometime in August", which adds a wistful and nostalgic tone. The mention of August and the changing leaves suggests that this is a time of transition and reflection. The singer is hoping, perhaps against all odds, that they will be able to salvage their relationship and see each other again. However, they also acknowledge that things have changed irreparably, hence the somber and resigned tone of the verses.
The final lines of the song ("And now the time has come/For you to finally see/That I am broken down/And now the time has come/For you to finally see/That I am not coming around") emphasize the singer's sense of defeat and acceptance. They have reached a point where they can no longer pretend that everything is okay or that they can fix things. The repetition of "the time has come" reinforces this idea of inevitability.
Overall, "Sometime in August" is a beautifully written and heartrending song that deals with themes of love, loss, and acceptance. It speaks to the universal experience of trying to hold onto something that is slipping away, and the pain and confusion that come with that.
