Autumn
L.D.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment




Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of L.D.M.'s song Autumn are about the change that comes with the fall season. The singer is observing the autumn leaves of red and gold falling outside the window, as they reminisce about their past love. The summer kisses and sun-burned hands that they used to hold evoke memories of happier times with their lover. The singer notes that since their lover went away, the days feel longer, and they will soon hear the old winter's song. However, the autumn season is the time that the singer misses their lover most.


The song's depth lies in its bittersweet lyrics that paint a picture of seasonal change and how it can trigger feelings of nostalgia and longing for lost love. The first verse reflecting on the fallen leaves serves as a metaphor for the passing of time and how everything has its season, including love. The second verse sung in French poetically captures the pain of separating lovers, as the ocean's waves wash away their footsteps on the sand.
