Hazy Shade of Winter
Gerard Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See what's become of me
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
"Hang on to your hopes, my friend"
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hope should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
The lyrics of "Hazy Shade of Winter" by Gerard Way Feat. Ray Toro have a melancholic and reflective tone to them. The singer is contemplating the passage of time and the changes it has brought to their life. They admit that they were once difficult to please, and now they are struggling to hold onto hope, as they watch the leaves turn brown and the sky become hazy. The imagery of the Salvation Army Band playing "Down by the riverside" represents the potential for a better future, but the singer is wrestling with the uncertainty of it all.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the cyclical nature of life and how seasons change with the scenery. They ask for the listener to remember them, and the repetition of "Look around" suggests a sense of urgency to take note of the world and one's place in it. The final verse references snow on the ground, suggesting the arrival of winter and perhaps the end of a chapter in the singer's life.
Overall, "Hazy Shade of Winter" is a poetic reflection on the passage of time and the challenges that come with it. The song's haunting melody and lyrics leave the listener with a sense of introspection and a greater appreciation for life's fleeting moments.
