Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's probably changed her mind
He doesn't wanna be my friend
But he will not give me a sign
We've come up empty for two weeks
The loneliness gets loud
Every time I try to speak
Even though I'm not allowed
Only with your consent
Seasons may pass, but they never last
For more than a few minutes
So now we go back to Tuesday
No problems were set in stone
You never let me get my way
So please just leave me alone
A familiar pathway to sadness
I'm so frail I'm used to it
I figure I need the practice
Maybe then I'd give a shit
I wanna be your friend (Be your friend)
Only with your consent
Seasons may pass, but they never last
For more than a few minutes
I wanna be your friend (Be your friend)
Only with your consent
Seasons may pass, but they never last
For more than a few minutes
In "Seasons" by Latepost, the lyrics detail the frustration and longing for connection in a strained relationship. The singer expresses their disappointment when their attempts at reaching out to someone go unanswered. They believe that the person has changed their mind and no longer wants to be associated with them. The lack of communication from the other person leaves the singer feeling confused and unsure of their current situation.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of loneliness that grows louder with every failed attempt to communicate. The singer feels silenced and restricted from expressing themselves, making the loneliness even more overwhelming. Despite this, they still desire to maintain a friendship with the other person, but only if it is mutually agreed upon and consensual. The singer recognizes that relationships, just like seasons, may come and go, but they hope for a lasting connection that lasts longer than a few fleeting moments.
The song then transitions to a specific moment in time, taking us back to Tuesday. This day symbolizes a turning point, where the problems in their relationship were not yet permanent or impossible to overcome. However, the other person consistently denied the singer's desires and demands, leaving them feeling powerless. This frustration ultimately leads the singer to ask for some space and to be left alone, the opposite of what they initially wanted.
Within the lyrics, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of a familiar path to sadness. The singer feels emotionally fragile and has become accustomed to this feeling. They even go so far as to suggest that perhaps they need more practice in caring, implying a lack of emotional investment due to repeated disappointment.
The repetition of the line "I wanna be your friend, only with your consent" emphasizes the importance of mutual agreement and respect in building a healthy relationship. The singer does not want to force their way into someone's life but craves a connection that endures beyond transient moments. The line "seasons may pass, but they never last for more than a few minutes" speaks to the fleeting nature of relationships and the complexities of human connections that can evolve and change over time.
Overall, "Seasons" explores themes of longing for connection, frustration with unanswered communication, the ebb and flow of relationships, and the need for consent and understanding in building lasting connections.
