Song Four Side Two
Veda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreamers stop here
In hopes they'll get chance of a lifetime ago
But I will not wait there
Drifters stop here and think
The way they lived life with no plans
My decision is drawing near
Please lover find me
Though the seaseons break us up
Please lover reming me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me again
Branches break here in denial
Of what they once held up
The crisp air cuts my heart
Breathe it in they say, live the life
But as the snow falls you no longer see
The light of who you could be
All the flowers slowly fade




All the leaves that long to change
Even in december I'll still be calling out

Overall Meaning

The song "Song Four Side Two" by Veda is a deep and introspective reflection on the nature of life and love. The lyrics speak of dreamers and drifters who come to a stop and contemplate their life's journey. The singer of the song acknowledges that she cannot wait any longer for her chance at love and must make a decision soon. She implores her lover to find her even if the seasons break them apart. The sea, often used as a metaphor for the unpredictability of life, is presented as the force that can both bring the couple together and tear them apart. The mood of the song is melancholic, with the singer longing for something that may or may not come to fruition.


The second verse of the song talks about how branches break in denial, referring to the way people ignore the harsh realities of life until they become too much to bear. The crisp air cutting the singer's heart may represent the pain of facing those realities. The line "breathe it in they say, live the life" is a reminder that life is fleeting and we must make the most of it, but it is also a challenge to find meaning and purpose in the face of transience. The snow falling and obscuring the light of who we could be suggests that our aspirations and dreams can be lost or forgotten in the face of the harshness of reality. Despite this, the singer promises to keep calling out, even in December, holding onto hope that her lover will come back to her.


Overall, "Song Four Side Two" is a song about the complexities of life and love, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in the face of uncertainty and loss. The lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, inviting the listener to reflect on their own journey and relationships.
