Spring
Ryan and alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three months and then the baton is passed
And the cycle begins anew
But what if I told you that we can still align
We could meet at the start of our finish line
And betray the hands that turn time
That turn time
And you can be mine
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can die together
You don't have to go
And I won't tell a soul
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can freeze together
You don't have to go
Could we just achieve this impossible dream
Could winter stay into spring
A world where the summer will never arrive
A mixture of snowfall and flowers collide
A jumpstart to my heart
I feel alive
I feel alive
And we can combine
And I won't tell a soul
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can die together
You don't have to go
And I won't tell a soul
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can freeze together
You don't have to go
And I won't tell a soul
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can die together
You don't have to go
And I won't tell a soul
I'll be always with you
When it starts to snow
I'll be here forever
You don't have to go
We can fuse together
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
You don't have to go
The song "Spring" by Ryan and Alex paints a poignant picture of the treacherous arrangements of power and love in a royal court. Through the use of subtle lyrics, the song delivers truths about the internal dynamics of power that underpin a royal court. The lyrics suggest that the maids who bloom in spring are the fairest of all but the ones who charm the king should refuse his call, as the queen already knows of her husband's affairs. The queen who finds her husband’s whore is caught unaware by the fact. The song further forewarns that the maids who turn sixteen may tempt the king, but the maids that scorn the queen won't live to see another spring.
The song is a reminder that even the beauty of spring holds a fleeting quality, and that which we take for granted can be easily taken away. The lyrics illustrate how the maids' beauty is transitory, and their power is always subject to the whims of the king and queen. The song also reveals the societal conventions the maids must abide by and the precarious position they hold in maintaining their beauty and survival.

I adored Ryan from the moment he stepped in for Alex when her powers started to spike in the record store. He had such a "it's okay, you're safe with me" vibe that it ultimately made me pick him.

Steph and Ryan are literally one of the best love interests out of the whole franchise, you don’t have to do anything that affects the story majorly in order to get them, I’m saying this cause that’s literally what they had us do in Life is strange 2.

LIS 2 was a different game the circumstances didnt allow any romances and the main thing is Sean Diaz was only 16 17 during the game even though his relationship with Cassidy was the best 🥰
