Mirwais Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When those autumn leaves start to fall
Drifting by my window
They come up over the wall
Why does a good thing have to end?
Can't see it happen where and when? When the,
Cycle of change can be so cruel, you know
I've got no one to blame, I'm just a fool, you know
Hold on and keep on telling me
Something good's gonna come
The red and gold has put it's spell on me
And old man winter is gonna come
You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun
I miss you most of all
When they burn those bonfires tall
Smoking ashes fill the air
And the harvesters are everywhere
No time to waste, let's drink the wine
Don't let the fruit rot on the vine
When the sun is a big and fiery ghost, you know
That is the time I miss you most
They say, hold on and keep on telling me
Something good's gonna come
The red and gold has put their spell on me
And old man winter is gonna come
You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun
Cold wind is hauling
And this dampness creeps in my bones
Seasons change, why didn't we?
Come on, bring that summer back to me
Hold on they keep on telling me
Something good's gonna come
The red and gold has put their spell on me
And old man winter is gonna come
You know, he keeps on blocking up the sun
Tell me why does he always have to come?
The lyrics of Mirwais's song "Miss You" exude a sense of longing and nostalgia. The singer confesses to missing someone the most during the fall when the leaves are changing, and the world seems to be shifting towards winter. Autumn is often associated with endings and changes, so it's not surprising that the singer is feeling most acutely the loss of this person during this time. They wonder why good things have to end and why changes can be so cruel. Although they have no one to blame, they feel like a fool for still missing this person.
The imagery used in the song is beautiful and poignant. The drifting of leaves past the singer's window is representative of the fleeting nature of time and how things can slip away from us without warning. The smoke and ash of bonfires remind the singer of how quickly things can be destroyed, and the harvesters' presence suggests the harvesting of experiences, memories, and ultimately, life. The singer urges the listener to seize the day, to drink the wine before it is too late, and not to let the fruit rot on the vine, a metaphor for not letting opportunities go to waste.
The singer, however, is not alone in their struggle. They are told to "hold on" multiple times throughout the song, implying that there is something to hold on to or hope for. The "red and gold" of the leaves are a symbol of the beauty that can be found in change and how something beautiful can arise from something that seems to be falling apart. Old man Winter, who is blocking up the sun, is a metaphor for the hardships and struggles that we face in life that can make it feel like there is no way out. But the singer refuses to give up hope, and the song ends with them urging Old Man Winter to bring back the Summer once again.
