Seasons Change
TRUSTcompany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I can see the seasons rearrange
In front of me
I'm needing this to stay
To keep me warm
This comfort in the change
So now
And I know
The season's changing again
I'm keeping this tonight
Cause I don't need (?) words to write
So I can breathe
I'm needing this to stay
To keep me warm
The seasons rearrange
So now
It's falling on me, again
And I know
The season's changing again
It's falling on me, again
I know, the season's changing again
This time
For this time
It's all I have been waiting for
And I know, I know
That it's changing before me
And I know, and I know
That it's changing before me
And I know, and I know
That it's changing before me
Changing before me
So winter's here
So winter's here
The lyrics of TRUSTcompany's Seasons Change explore the theme of accepting change and finding comfort in the natural ebb and flow of things. The first stanza speaks of pushing something away, possibly an emotion or situation, to see the seasons rearrange in front of the singer's eyes. Despite the change, there is a need for something to remain constant and provide warmth during this time of transition. The second stanza elevates this to a personal level, with the singer keeping something close to their heart to provide comfort in lieu of words. The chorus reiterates the inevitability of change and the need to embrace it, as the seasons fall on the singer again.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of introspection and acceptance, as the singer recognizes that change is happening despite their wishes and that they must find a way to adapt. The final line, "So winter's here," seems to symbolize the arrival of a difficult time, but the acceptance of it brings a sense of peace.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that change is not always easy, but it is a natural and necessary part of life. Finding stability in the midst of change is key to weathering difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm pushing this away
I'm deliberately distancing myself from something
So I can see the seasons rearrange
I'm creating some distance so I can observe change happening
In front of me
Directly in my view
I'm needing this to stay
I want to hold onto this thing or feeling
To keep me warm
To give me comfort and solace
This comfort in the change
This gives comfort or security while things are changing
So now
At this point in time
It's falling on me, again
I'm experiencing it again, possibly stress or anxiety
And I know
I'm aware
The season's changing again
The environment is going through another shift
I'm keeping this tonight
I'm cherishing or holding onto this for now
Cause I don't need (?) words to write
Because the feeling doesn't need to be captured in writing
So I can breathe
So I can relax and take a moment to myself
The seasons rearrange
The environment is undergoing a significant shift
This time
Now, specifically
For this time
At this point in my life
It's all I have been waiting for
This is what I have been waiting for and longing for
And I know, I know
I am completely aware
That it's changing before me
I'm witnessing change directly
Changing before me
The shift is occurring right in front of me
So winter's here
The colder, darker season has arrived
