Changing Season
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does it feel like you lost a friend with the summers end?
Now you've become more bitter than the cold
That shows your breath and burns your throat.
Well anyone who is anyone knows
People change, they do.
We're changing with the seasons
And each falling leaf they will become covered by the next.
They will pile over our heads
Like October in our front yards
And the harsh realization that winter is on its way.
Don't you miss those days When
Having everything and nothing felt the same.
Gravity and debt could not define us.
Now it all seems unending
But I know the pieces will fall in place.
You said this will not define us.
We will not become buried in the leaves.
How could it define us?
We're not like them.
We're changing with the seasons
And the falling leaf will
Become covered by the snow.
The winters in our front yards and it's here to stay.
So everything will slow down.
Everything will slow down.
So For the next three months we'll plan our escape
And somehow everything will work out.




Do you hear me? This will not define us.
Can you hear me? This will define us in the end.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Transit's song Changing Season describe the bitterness and sadness that comes with the changing of seasons, specifically the transition from summer to autumn/winter. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer asking if the end of summer feels like losing a friend, and the bitterness becoming akin to the cold that shows your breath and burns your throat. The second verse acknowledges that people change, just like the seasons do, and that the falling leaves of autumn will eventually be covered by snow, showing the arrival of winter. The chorus expresses a longing for the carelessness of the past, when "having everything and nothing felt the same," and gravity and debt did not define us. The singer acknowledges that everything seems unending now, but that the pieces will fall into place and that the changing season will not define us, for we are not like those around us.


The song conveys a sense of loss and sadness for the carefree days of the past, and the fear that the changing of the seasons marks a permanent change that will define us. However, the chorus also expresses hope for the future, that somehow everything will work out and we will not be buried in the leaves or defined by the changing season.


Overall, the lyrics to Changing Season offer a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the inevitability of change, both in the seasons and in ourselves.
