Seasons
Terence Trent D’Arby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to use that exit line
Please don't make me lie
I have no excuse for you this time
Cause sometimes
(It's alright for a season)
But then it's time to go
And so now the chorus I must hear
I've got to define my life and times
Before I can give you more than tears
Cause sometimes
(It's alright for a season)
But then it's time to go
Your heart was stretched to the point of breaking
Your tears are etched and your sorrow is waking
This complicated curse
Causes you to freeze our love in time
If I awaken that first
It's only 'cause you lost yourself in mine
Please don't let me see you cry
Cause sometimes
It's alright for a season
But then it's time to go
The lyrics to Terence Trent D'Arby's "Seasons" is about the struggles of coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The singer is expressing their emotions towards their loved one and how they don't want to say goodbye, but at the same time, they know that it's time. They don't want to use an "exit line" because they don't want to lie to their partner. The singer is aware that it's okay for things to be alright for a season or a certain period, but eventually, it will come to an end.
The verses of the singer's life are moving past, and the chorus is beckoning the singer to define their life and times. The singer wants to sort out their feelings and emotions before they can give their partner more than tears. The chorus is a reminder to the singer that sometimes things are right for a season but eventually, it's time to say goodbye.
The bridge of the song is about the complications that arise when ending a relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner's heart was stretched to the point of breaking. The curse of the situation has caused their partner to freeze their love in time. The singer understands that if they awaken the first unconditional love, it's only because their partner lost themselves in them. They don't want to see their partner cry, but they know that it's time to go.

The man is a genius and makes the most soulful music. For me symphony or dammed should be talked about in the same company as off the wall.
