Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, winter
Unreason's cold, tenacity
Pause your nature, dance with me
One more autumn day
Come, Prudence
Catch me, catch me
No, not this day
Twilight fall upon all souls
Darkening our skin and bone
Soon I'll follow Prudence home
Until then, just let me chase this sun
Soon enough I'll go, a winters way
Soon enough, though not this day
Soon enough I'll go, winters way
Soon enough
Stay the winter, oh, one more day
Leave me to my child's play
Soon enough I'll go your way
Dance with me, oh, one more autumn day
Soon enough I'll go your way
Soon enough-
Soon enough, though not this day
The lyrics to "Autumn" by M.J.K. (Puscifer) describe a journey of self-discovery and introspection. The singer is grappling with the reality of life while also exploring the possibilities of his imagination. He imagines a world outside, one that is cold and fast, and filled with chaos and confusion. He is torn between his past and present, and his desires and fears. He realizes that he has been a pawn in someone else's game, but he wants to break free and find his own voice. He is determined to challenge the norms and expectations placed upon him, and to break down the walls of fear and guilt that have held him back. As he steps out into the unknown, he is overcome by a sense of freedom and self-belief.
The lyrics use vivid descriptions and metaphors to convey the singer's emotional journey. The image of a leaf falling on a lonely street represents a feeling of abandonment and vulnerability, while the wall represents the barriers and limitations that have been imposed upon him. The use of repetition - "like a leaf falling on a lonely street, never to rise up" - reinforces the theme of surrender and defeat. However, towards the end of the song, there is a shift in tone, as the singer declares that he has found self-belief and a new perspective. The fall still echoes, but it no longer makes him tremble.
Overall, "Autumn" is a introspective song about the struggle to find one's voice and challenge the expectations placed upon us. It encourages listeners to break free from limiting beliefs and find self-belief in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Drifting between
Existing in a state of confusion between two realities
The real and the dream
The two realities that are being drifted between are the tangible and the intangible
Where the real is a trip
The tangible reality is complex and confusing
And the dream is a song
The intangible reality is comforting and soothing
Imagine outside
Picture a reality that is not currently being experienced
Too cold and too fast
The imagined reality is overwhelming and uncomfortable
Chaotic and confused
The imagined reality is disordered and perplexing
While people in billions
There are a vast number of people experiencing different realities
Are torrenting up and down
People are rapidly and actively engaging with their realities
Glancing behind
Reflecting on past experiences
My past in my mind
Memories of previous experiences are being recalled
I saw walls being built
Metaphorically observed internal barriers being formed
Out of fear and of guilt
The internal barriers were created from negative emotions
Living to be
Existing for the purpose of
A pawn in the game
Being used and manipulated by someone else's agenda
Played by somebody else
Being controlled by external forces
Leave that dream well alone
Do not allow oneself to be controlled by negative emotions and external forces
Don't you know
Do you not realize
You should feel
You ought to experience
Like
Similar to
A leaf
A symbol of fragility and transience
Falling on
Descending towards
A lonely street
A desolate and isolated place
Never to
Will not
Rise up
Ascend from the desolation and isolation
I knew in my heart of hearts
I had a strong intuition
Something had to change
A shift in perspective and priorities needed to occur
Step by step to break the mould
Incrementally pushing boundaries to break free from constraints
Routine had to go
Rigid and mundane practices needed to be abandoned
Before I accept your rules
I will not be dictated to by external expectations until I am ready
I will use my head
I will approach challenges with rationality and logic
Blow by blow the wall must fall
Take down internal barriers gradually and systematically
In this autumn cold
During a period of transition and change
Looking ahead
Focusing on the future
A new point of view
A fresh outlook
Not just an ego trip
Not motivated purely by selfish desires
I have found self belief
Confidence in one's own abilities and worth has been discovered
And I know
I am certain
I won't feel
I refuse to experience
The fall
The experience of descending and hitting rock bottom
Echoes still
The memories and effects of the fall linger
But it doesn't make me tremble
The fall no longer elicits fear or anxiety
Anymore
The fear and anxiety surrounding the fall have been overcome

I feel you in these walls
You're a cold air creeping in
Chill me to my bones and skin
I heard you down the hall
But it's vacant when I'm looking in
Oh, who let you in?
You walk around like you own the place
But you never say anything
I caught you walking straight through my walls
Guess it was all my fault
I think I let you in
Look
You said I never wrote a song for you
So I hope this one is haunting you
You said even if it took forever
That me and you would be together
And I never thought that you would lie
So I'll admit I took advantage of your precious time
I'll admit I took advantage of you every night that I was on the road
Even at home, I wouldn't do you right
I'll admit it, but don't think for a minute
I'ma let you convince me that what we started is finished
Or for a second that I wouldn't take a bullet to the head for you
Paint the bottom of my floor red for you
Kissed by an angel, touched by the devil
Blood from a nose, red as a rose petal
I think we're caught up in a power trip
She my Kate Moss, I'm her Johnny Depp
Life of a fast life in the fast lane
Fights in the cab, nights drinkin' champagne
Ice make it last, ice for the back pain
With the knife on the dash, pipe with the ashtray
And we fuck with the lights on, break a lamp shade
Did it twice in the room, once in the matinée, oh
Hide all the fresh wounds like a band-aid
With the stripes on the black suits for the campaign, oh
What a damn shame
King of the underworld, what a damn name
'Cause he killed all the other girls in the damn frame
For a queen that he never realized had fangs
Damn, do you feel what I'm sayin'?
Take a knife in the back, wanna feel my pain
Make a slice to the wrist to reveal those veins
I could see your face, man I feel insane
Never thought that I would feel like this (Yeah)
Such a mess when I'm in your presence
I've had enough, think you've been making me sick
Gotta get you out of my system, yeah
It's my house
I think it's time to get out
It's my soul
It isn't yours anymore
It's my house
I think it's time to get out
Yeah, I think it's time to get out
Yeah, yeah, ooh, oh-oh
Yeah, I think it's time to get out
