September Girl
Jupiter Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already 28 and still haven't saved the world
Woke up this morning to nothing I recognized
Everything changed and I never saw it coming
Now there are 5 billion disappointed souls scrapping around in my disappointed mind
And for the first time in my life I am afraid of changing because everything's changing without me
You finally decided to live on without me
Now I am forced to just swallow this heart for you to become the girl you already are
Now there are five billion disappointed souls that'll just have to wait...
'cause I only dream for you
Maybe it's time for me to do
The thing that I meant to do
'Cause your getting older and I'm getting older and even us good people die
The gifted never stop seeing the world for the first time
The good ones grow older, the poor ones grow older, the great ones are never forgotten.
The song "September Girl" by Jupiter Sunrise is a moving tribute to a woman and the fears that come with growing older. The opening lines, "Oh, September girl, I am so scared today / Already 28 and still haven't saved the world" convey a sense of urgency and disappointment. The singer is scared and feels as if he has not accomplished what he is meant to. He wakes up to find that everything has changed and he never saw it coming. The line "Now there are 5 billion disappointed souls scrapping around in my disappointed mind" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer's personal fears are amplified by the weight of the world's problems. He feels as if he is meant to do something important, but he doesn't know what it is or how to do it.
The chorus of the song, "And for the first time in my life I am afraid of changing because everything's changing without me," is a powerful reminder that change is inevitable and that we cannot control everything. The singer is scared of changing because he feels as if everything is changing around him without his consent. He feels powerless and unsure of what to do next.
The rest of the song is a message to the September girl, who has decided to live on without him. The singer has no choice but to accept this and "swallow this heart" so that she can become the person she is meant to be. The line "Now there are five billion disappointed souls that'll just have to wait... / 'cause I only dream for you" suggests that the singer's dreams are now focused on this one person, and that he is willing to let go of his own goals and aspirations to help her achieve hers.
Overall, "September Girl" is a beautifully written and emotionally resonant song. It reminds us of the challenges that come with growing older, the inevitability of change, and the importance of supporting those we love.
