Fight The Fade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the weather gets colder
The trees lose their leaves
In an attempt to start over
As spring gets closer
All things are new
Can I be just like You?
What I once was
That innocence
That's been long lost
I wanna shed this man
Like the leaves
And change myself
Just like the seasons change
I see the ground getting softer
The sun's getting warmer
And life's breaking through
I'm feeling stronger
Because winter is over
This season, I'm new
This season, I'm new
The opening lines of Fight The Fade's "Seasons" create an atmosphere that sets the mood for the entire song. The lyrics describe the 24th of October, a time when the weather is getting colder and the trees are shedding their leaves. This is symbolic of the natural cycle of life, where things have to die in order for new ones to come up. The trees lose their leaves in an attempt to start over, just like humans need to give up old habits, beliefs, and attitudes to begin anew.
As the song progresses, the lyrics desperately ask a question. "Can I become what I once was," long gone innocence that the singer seeks to reclaim. He compares himself to the autumn trees, yearning to shed off the past like leaves, just like these trees. He expresses his desire to change himself, just as the seasons change. The second half of the song describes a season of renewal and rejuvenation. The ground gets softer, the sun gets warmer, and life breaks through, signifying that the worst is over, and the artist is feeling stronger because of winter is over.
Fight The Fade's "Seasons" is a powerful declaration of transformation and rebirth. Its lyrical depth, coupled with rock-solid instrumentals make the song engaging and thought-provoking. The song is a reminder that in life, one must be ready to let go of the old and embrace the new, just like the seasons of the year.
Line by Line Meaning
The 24th of October
The beginning of a specific time period
As the weather gets colder
The temperature outside decreases
The trees lose their leaves
The deciduous trees shed their foliage
In an attempt to start over
The trees are rejuvenating themselves
As spring gets closer
As a particular season approaches
All things are new
Everything is fresh and rejuvenated
Can I be just like You?
Can I achieve the same transformation
Can I become
Can I undergo a transformation
What I once was
Return to a former state of existence
That innocence
The state of remoteness from sinfulness
That's been long lost
That's been absent for a long time
I wanna shed this man
I want to abandon my old self
Like the leaves
In the same way the trees shed their leaves
And change myself
To transform oneself
Just like the seasons change
Just as seasons change from one to another
I see the ground getting softer
The soil is becoming more pliable
The sun's getting warmer
The temperature is increasing
And life's breaking through
New growth is appearing
I'm feeling stronger
I'm becoming more robust
Because winter is over
Because the previous season has ended
This season, I'm new
I'm reborn for the current season
This season, I'm new
I'm born anew for the present season

I stumbled upon this and without looking at views I listened, and honestly I was so captivated the uniqueness the acoustic mixed with instrumentals the build up the vocals, and the subtle back tracking. This is the best thing I have heard in years. Definately buying this!!
