The Sundial Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All suddenly the wind comes soft,
And Spring is here again;
And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green,
And my heart with buds of pain.
My heart all Winter lay so numb,
That I never thought the Spring would come,
Or my heart wake any more.
But Winter's broken and earth has woken,
And the small birds cry again;
And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds,
And my heart puts forth its pain.
In The Sundial's song, "Song," the lyrics are actually a poem written by Rupert Brooke called "Second Best." The poem is all about the arrival of spring and the emotions that it can bring up, both positive and negative. The opening lines describe how suddenly the wind comes soft, which is a common occurrence in springtime, almost as if the season has flipped a switch and turned on. The hawthorn tree is used as a symbol of new life and growth as it quickens with buds of green. However, the singer's heart quickens with "buds of pain," which suggest that this season brings up difficult emotions for them.
The second stanza delves further into the singer's emotional state. They describe how their heart has been numb and dormant all winter long, almost as if they have been in a hibernation of sorts. They never thought that spring would come or that they would be woken up from this emotional slumber. But now that the season has changed, the earth has woken up, and the small birds are singing once again, the singer's heart is also stirring with pain. This suggests that the arrival of spring has caused the singer to confront emotions and feelings that they may have been avoiding or ignoring during the winter months.
Overall, the poem is a beautiful depiction of how the changing of the seasons can have a profound effect on our emotions and inner lives. The beauty of spring can stir up feelings of pain and heartache, but it can also represent a time of growth, renewal, and hope.

I'm 24 now
Still at my parents house
Thought I would have it figured out
Friends getting married, one has a baby
I barely recognize this town
Mama asked me what my plan is for the future
But I don't even know what's going on for dinner
I'm 24 now, thought I could finally settle down
Party's end before I'm drunk
Friday night I'm tired as fuck
I don't know how I ended up like this
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Birthday's here, I'm still depressed
Got no friends, just lots of stress
It feels like yesterday when we were kids
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Cause I don't know
Sleep till the sun's down, another breakdown
Feels like the days are the same
New type of anxious, school never taught this
And what the fuck are taxes anyway
I tell myself I won't be sitting going bitter
And now I see it when I'm looking in the mirror
I'm 24 now, wondering when I will be okay
Party's end before I'm drunk
Friday night I'm tired as fuck
I don't know how I ended up like this
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Birthday here, I'm still depressed
Got no friends, just lots of stress
It feels like yesterday when we were kids
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Cause I don't know
Oooh, Cause I don't know
Oooh, Cause I don't know
Oooh
Can someone tell me what the hell I missed?
Cause I don't know

I’m 24 and literally having a quarter life crisis. I’m, too, still at my parents’ house and I’m so lost and depressed. But this song saved me cuz i realized I’m not the only one who feels this way. Thanks for the amazing music!

@devannared7757
Im 25 and honestly it doesnt get any better. I got mild depression, im stuck in this small city where finding needle in haystack is much easier than finding jobs. Unemployed, ugly, old, and a waste of space.
@georgetheodorou9378
Why don't you relocate? This is what I am doing at least.

As a 29 year old, I believe your whole 20's and mid 30's is all about trial & error and finding yourself on how to fit in with society. Don't be depressed, you're still young! Enjoy your youth while you can! 💙
