Spring is here
The Kirby Stone Four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear
The Kirby Stone Four's song "Spring is here" is a melancholic tune that speaks about the arrival of spring but the singer's heart and soul is not feeling the joyful vibe of the season. The lines "Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?" convey the sentiment of the singer not being able to enjoy the season's cheer because of some internal reasons. The lines "Maybe it's because nobody needs me" and "Maybe it's because nobody loves me" show that the singer is experiencing loneliness.
The lyrics of the song explore deeper emotions beyond the happiness and excitement of spring. The singer feels disconnected from the world around them, despite the beauty and vibrancy of the season. The expressions used in this song are raw and genuine, reflecting the human experience of isolated emotions. Even though there is a paradox in the lyrics where the singer acknowledges the blooming beauty of nature around them while still feeling sad, it highlights the auto-immune nature of emotions and mental experiences.
Overall, this song is a complicated, contradictory, and self-reflective portrayal of loneliness and sadness during the season of spring. It reveals how, despite the beauty of the season, someone may feel empty and disconnected from the world around them.
