The Light At The End Marks The Change
September Stories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost myself
The dissonance is uncanny
And the distance I’ve put in between us
Just goes to show
I felt these walls build up around more and more each day
There was a time when they reminded me of home and not the need to escape
A time when happiness wasn’t striven for
But when you live in the past you miss the beauty of being present
The beauty of being alive and the beauty of all the unpleasant
We cannot exist without the other
And somewhere in between is how we learn to find one another
Now I can see
Through the passing of time
It’s hard to find what love could really mean
Hard to find a reason to live this life we lead
All the time
Day to night it’ll pass before you know
Just keep your loves in and leave all the others to let go
All the time
And now I see through the passing of time
That I am not alive, I am simply just awake
All the time
And now I see through the passing of time
That I am not alive, I am simply just awake
Tell me how to feel now
Leave it be, nothing is free
Love for now, leave nobody
The lyrics of September Stories's song "The Light At The End Marks The Change" delve into themes of self-discovery, reflection, and the complexities of navigating relationships.

The dissonance they experience is highlighted, indicating a lack of harmony or alignment in their emotions.
The line "I felt these walls build up around more and more each day" suggests a growing sense of isolation and a desire to escape. However, the singer acknowledges that these walls were once a reminder of home, indicating that a time existed when they found comfort and safety within their own emotional barriers. This nostalgia for a simpler time is contrasted with the present struggle to find happiness and a sense of purpose.
The lyrics also explore the interconnected nature of joy and pain, emphasizing that one cannot truly exist without the other. The singer expresses a realization that living in the past prevents them from fully appreciating the beauty of the present moment. They come to understand that love and the meaning of life are elusive concepts that are difficult to grasp.

Tell me how to feel now
Help me understand and process my emotions
I lost myself
I no longer recognize who I am
The dissonance is uncanny
The conflict and disharmony are unsettling
And the distance I’ve put in between us
I have created emotional distance between us
Just goes to show
This situation proves
I felt these walls build up around more and more each day
I felt myself becoming emotionally trapped and isolated
There was a time when they reminded me of home and not the need to escape
There was a time when these walls felt comforting and safe, not suffocating
A time when happiness wasn’t striven for
There was a time when I didn't have to constantly seek happiness
When I never felt this weight
When I didn't feel burdened like I do now
But when you live in the past you miss the beauty of being present
If you dwell on the past, you overlook the beauty of the present moment
The beauty of being alive and the beauty of all the unpleasant
The beauty of experiencing life, both the pleasant and unpleasant aspects
We cannot exist without the other
We cannot fully live without experiencing both joy and pain
And somewhere in between is how we learn to find one another
In the middle of the highs and lows, we discover how to connect with others
Now I can see
Now I have gained insight
Through the passing of time
As time goes by
It’s hard to find what love could really mean
It's challenging to understand the true essence of love
Hard to find a reason to live this life we lead
Difficult to find a purpose in the lives we are living
Day to night it’ll pass before you know
Time will quickly pass from day to night without realization
Just keep your loves in and leave all the others to let go
Hold onto the people and things you love and let go of the rest
And now I see through the passing of time
Through the passage of time, I have gained clarity
That I am not alive, I am simply just awake
I am merely existing rather than truly living
Leave it be, nothing is free
Accept things as they are, everything comes at a cost
Love for now, leave nobody
Cherish love in the present, don't abandon anyone
