seasons
Steven Delopoulos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fade until tomorrow
Seasons come and go
Leave that smile away
They say leave that smile away
You can come around but never stay
Chorus:
Everybody seem
Faded into a bad, bad dream
Wheels don't work
Car won't drive
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
One naked man
One naked scheme
Faded into a bad, bad dream
Everybody look
Everybody glide
Glide along and wave goodbye
Seasons come and go
Fade until tomorrow
Seasons come and go
Through the hills and valleys
Someone calls my name
Opens up the sky
Takes me off my train
Repeat Chorus three times
The song Seasons by Steven Delopoulos is a reflective commentary on the transient nature of life, the futility of holding onto fleeting moments, and the inescapability of change. The lyrics poignantly articulate the feeling of time slipping away with each passing moment as the seasons come and go. The opening lines, 'Seasons come and go, fade until tomorrow,' suggest that everything in life - even the things that seem permanent - are merely temporary.
The lyrics in the chorus capture a sense of disillusionment, suggesting that everything is fading away into a bad dream. The singer seems to feel trapped and directionless, with 'nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.' Even the people around him seem to be lost and unaware of their surroundings, as they 'fade into a bad, bad dream.' Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of trying to hold onto things that are constantly slipping away, and the inevitability of change.
