November
Phoebe Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drifting away from the summer
What have you told your mother
Where has the child gone
Off to another
Hold me close tonight
Tell me things are fine
November
Leaves fall from the trees
Shaking off my dreams
Hold what no one sees
November
Rolling hills Fill my mourning
Hiding and seeking a warning
Daddy said, The’ll be sorrow
Sit back and wait for tomorrow
Hold me close tonight
Tell me things are fine
Let go of the fight
November
Drifting here, drifting there
Drifting away from the summer
Phoebe Hunt's song November is a beautiful and poignant meditation on the passage of time and the bittersweet memories of a lost childhood. The lyrics evoke a sense of drifting and nostalgia, as the singer reflects on the changing of the seasons and the passing of years. The first verse tells of a child who has wandered away, leaving behind a sense of loss and longing. The second verse describes the falling of leaves and the fading of dreams, with the line "hold what no one sees" suggesting a hidden, inner world of emotions and memories.
The chorus is a plea for comfort and reassurance, with the singer asking to be held close and told that everything is going to be alright. The word "November" serves as a kind of a mantra, evoking the chilly and melancholy mood of late autumn and reinforcing the idea of time passing and things changing.
