April
Imaginary Future ft. Kina Grannis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it run, let it burn, through the trees
Tie it on, let it fall, let it linger
Hide away from the comfort of me
And we'll talk about, what's to talk about
April, hold up all you have and let me down
I don't ever wanna wonder 'bout you now
Wash the remnants from your memory, sight unseen
Take your card, lay it down on the table
It's a heart, it's a way back to me
On your own, suddenly you are able
But it's harder to go once you're free
And I will try, to block the light
April, hold up all you have and let me down
I don't ever wanna wonder 'bout you now
Wash the remnants from your memory, sight unseen
April, take me from your heart and cut me clean
Ahhhhh-ahhhhh
Ahhhhh-ahhhhh
Wash the remnants from your memory, sight unseen
April, take me from your heart and cut me clean
The song "April" by Imaginary Future ft. Kina Grannis is a mesmerizing and soulful ballad that speaks to the pain and confusion that can arise when a relationship ends. The lyrics paint a picture of a person trying to understand and come to terms with the end of a relationship. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, as the person is trying to come to terms with the fact that their partner is leaving. They suggest that if their partner's head isn't in the right place, they should let their emotions run wild and try to find a way to let go of their relationship, even if it hurts.
In the chorus, the singer pleads with their partner to let them go entirely. They don't want to wonder about them anymore, and they want to be cut clean from their memories. The use of the name "April" adds an emotional intensity to the lyrics. It's possible that "April" is the name of the person's partner, but it could also represent a time of year that's associated with new beginnings and fresh starts. The use of imagery throughout the song, such as the reference to running through trees and the idea of washing remnants from one's memory, adds to the song's wistful and nostalgic tone.
Overall, "April" is a haunting ballad that speaks to the pain and confusion that can come with the end of a relationship. It's a beautiful song that captures the melancholy of loss and the hope of moving on.

If your head isn't right, if you falter
If you're not feeling mentally sound, if you are feeling uncertain
Let it run, let it burn, through the trees
Allow your worries and troubles to flow through you and pass
Tie it on, let it fall, let it linger
Accept your emotions and let them be, don't try to suppress them
Hide away from the comfort of me
Withdraw from seeking solace and support from me
And we'll talk about, what's to talk about
We'll have a discussion about what needs to be addressed
April, hold up all you have and let me down
Hold on to your emotional baggage and release our relationship
I don't ever wanna wonder 'bout you now
I never want to be left to ponder about you in the future
Wash the remnants from your memory, sight unseen
Cleanse your mind of any lingering memories, without looking back
April, take me from your heart and cut me clean
Remove me from your emotions and cut all ties with me
Take your card, lay it down on the table
Be honest and open, display all that you carry
It's a heart, it's a way back to me
Your honesty allows us a pathway back to each other
On your own, suddenly you are able
Once you confront your emotions, you become capable of moving forward alone
But it's harder to go once you're free
It's more difficult to leave once you've established a connection
And I will try, to block the light
I will attempt to prevent you from moving on and achieving happiness
Ahhhhh-ahhhhh
vocalization of emotions
Wash the remnants from your memory, sight unseen

April, take me from your heart and cut me clean
Remove me from your emotions and cut all ties with me
