Autumn Song
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
Why didn't you hear me
No you never heard me
‘Cause I know there was too much on your mind
(refrain)
Runnin' around in a circle, (tryin' to catch up to myself)
Runnin' out of time
Losin' myself in the darkness, (every time I played my hand)
I was losin' every time
I knew I'd given all that I could give
That's why it had to end this way, (this way)
[repeat chorus]
I know that I hurt you
At a time you needed me there
Yes you did, yes I know (yes I know)
But my heart had been broken
And my mind was no longer there
I had to go, yes I did
[repeat refrain]
[The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived]
Long before the autumn winds arrived
[The leaves were down]
Before the summer sun had gone
[Long before the autumn winds arrived]
I’m sorry that it had to be this way...
Love was gone...
[repeat chorus]
The Incognito's Autumn Song is a poignant reflection on the end of a love affair that had already died, far before the break-up actually took place. The singer repeatedly stresses how futile his attempts to make the partner hear his struggles had been. The lyrics suggest that the partner was too preoccupied with their own issues, rendering the relationship disconnected from the start: "No you never heard me / βCause I know there was too much on your mind". The singer admits that he was not physically present for the partner when they needed him the most, making it clear that it was not the lack of love but his own broken heart and mentally unsound state that forced them apart: "But my heart had been broken / And my mind was no longer there". The song suggests that the fall of the relationship was simply inevitable, just like leaves have to fall in autumn.
The song's chorus is a repeated reminder of the end of the summer and the arrival of the autumn season. The leaves falling down, "long before the autumn winds arrived," create the image of something dying at a time of transformation. The lines are repeated twice in every chorus, emphasizing the theme of decay and change. The refrain of the song speaks about the singer feeling lost, running around in a circle, trying to save their relationship, but always ending up empty-handed. The repetition of "Losing myself in the darkness" adds to the melancholic mood of the song. The song depicts how the singer gave his all to save the relationship, but in the end, it was impossible to revive what had already perished.

This'll be my theme song since Autumn is my absolute favorite season :) Leaves don't change colors here in Arizona except Flagstaff but I love the calm brisk weather!! I also love Incognito; their songs let me relax and just give me a reason to smile. :)
