Autumn
Wyrd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the darkened pool of dead emotions
Pond of decayed dreams and withered love
Why should I carry on, when all hope is gone?
Come the autumn, come the rain
Wash away all the bitterness and hate
Fall - Come the rain
Carve it to the firs, carve it to the oaks
Scream it to the stars, shout it at the world
Dwelling in self-pity, in self-caused pain
All bridges burnt, the only way is down
Come the autumn, come the rain
Come the nightfall, welcome death
Fall - Come the autumn
Fall - Come the rain
Fall - Come the end.
In Wyrd's song "Autumn," the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is feeling lost and disheartened. The reference to summer bleeding its last shades of green is a metaphor for the end of a season of growth, beauty and vitality. The person feels as though they are at the edge of a darkened pool of dead emotions, where all of their dreams and love have decayed and withered away. The question arises of why they should continue on when all hope is gone.
However, as the seasons change and autumn arrives, there is a hope for renewal. The person is washing away bitterness and hate with the rain that comes with the changing of seasons. The mention of carving it to the firs and oaks, screaming it to the stars, and shouting at the world, is a call to action. It is as though the person is realizing that they cannot continue to dwell in self-pity and pain, and they must take action to move on. All bridges have been burnt, so the only way left is down. This is a reference to the fact that they have hit rock bottom and are starting over.
Overall, this song is about the dark feelings that can arise when one has hit a low point in life. It is about the struggle to move on and find hope again, even when things seem bleak. The changing of seasons is a metaphor for how life continues to move forward, and how there is always a chance for renewal and growth.

Summer bleeds its last shades of green
The season of warmth and life is fading away, turning towards the cold and death
To the darkened pool of dead emotions
The feelings and passions that once thrived are fading into obscurity and emptiness
Pond of decayed dreams and withered love
The hopes and affections that were once cherished are now decaying and fading away
Why should I carry on, when all hope is gone?
In the absence of hope and meaning, what is the point of continuing to persevere?
Come the autumn, come the rain
With the arrival of this new season, bring forth new opportunities for cleansing and renewal
Wash away all the bitterness and hate
Cleanse the soul of all negative emotions, eradicating feelings of resentment and animosity
Carve it to the firs, carve it to the oaks
Scream these emotions into the trees, channeling the anger and sadness into something that can withstand the test of time
Scream it to the stars, shout it at the world
Project these feelings into the vastness of the universe, letting them reverberate and echo through the cosmos
Dwelling in self-pity, in self-caused pain
Trapped in a cycle of misery and suffering, unable to break free from the anguish that is self-inflicted
All bridges burnt, the only way is down
With all paths and avenues for escape cut off, there is no other option but to succumb to the despair
Come the nightfall, welcome death
With darkness comes the release from the torment of life, an end to the unrelenting pain
Fall - Come the autumn
Embracing the season of transition as a chance for new beginnings and growth
Fall - Come the rain
Allowing the cleansing and purification that comes with precipitation to wash away the stains of the past
Fall - Come the end.
The conclusion of one chapter of life, and the beginning of a new, different one

Autumn as a metaphor of death and decadence. Perfect \m/
