Leaving the Fields
Jack Frost Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late at night
When we got drunk
We were falling from the stars
The smell of weed
Turned me on
And cured our broken hearts
The words they said
The things all done

Now they don't matter anymore

[chorus:]
Then we left the fields
We stopped sinking in sorrow
There's no meaning in this memory
We were leaving the fields
Love is all around

We stopped sinking in sorrow
Love is all around
We were waiting for the night
And lots of pills
I swallowed all

I was my own's worst enemy
It wasn't me, the one who hurt you

Late at night
During the night, when it was probably very late

When we got drunk
At the time when we consumed alcohol and were affected by it

We were falling from the stars
We felt a sense of freefall, as if we were descending from the sky

The smell of weed
The aroma of marijuana

Turned me on
Excited me or aroused me

And cured our broken hearts
Helped us to feel better after emotional pain or distress

The words they said
Things that were communicated or expressed to us

The things all done
Actions or events that have already taken place

Now they don't matter anymore
Presently, those things no longer hold any weight or significance

Then we left the fields
Subsequently, we departed from the place we were staying or working
