Autumn
Gung Ho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I won't let it get to me
Though I won't let it get to me
I never knew
Why, why, why, why lie to you
Why, why, why, why lie to you
There is a spot of the mind that I can't seem to leave behind
Makin up my mind
Running out of time inside
Why can't we have it all
Just like it was before
But I won't let it get to me
Though I won't let it get to me
I never knew
Why, why, why, why lie to you
I never knew
Why, why, why, why lie to you
The song "Autumn" by Gung Ho is a melancholic tune that explores the emotions of the singer who is going through a difficult time. The opening line of the song, "I just don't know if I can take it anymore," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to cope with their current situation. However, they refuse to let it get to them, as reiterated in the refrain, "But I won't let it get to me, Though I won't let it get to me."
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their past and how they never knew why they would lie to the person they are addressing in the lyrics. There is a spot in their mind that they can't seem to leave behind, and it's causing them to feel like they are running out of time. The singer questions if it's possible to go back to how things were before, but they are aware that it may not be attainable.
"Autumn" is a song that conveys a sense of resignation, as the singer seems to have accepted their circumstances, yet they are struggling to come to terms with it. The lyrics are relatable for anyone who has experienced a difficult time and is facing the reality that things may not be the same as they once were.

Best part of the movie that I never see a clip of..."I tell you why. Maybe he's just trying to save this town." And the guys figure it out and rally. That's all Keaton's character thought about when he got the Japanese auto maker to move to his town. Save his town. Save the people.

Saito’s reaction when he realizes what he just said always cracks me up. It’s priceless.

Toyota uses this movie to show their Japanese execs how NOT to manage Americans.

it took me years to figure what that guy said. I always thought he said "conquered vision" but he actually says "congratulations".

Not a bad movie. I wish they showed the part at the beginning of the car counting when Mr. Sakamoto (Soh Yamamura) says that Kazihiro (Gedde Watanabe) questioned his honor and he responds with: "I did not question it, I counted on it." This makes Hunt's (Michael Keaton) actions make more sense since he was willing to confront Sakamoto and indeed humiliate himself to prove his point, actions Sakamoto respected an an honorable act. Bonus 80's movie trope points for the bully getting his comeuppance when Saito (Sab Shimoto) gets made janitor.
