April
Yakul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but still the days fly
til you're alone
It's always counting down
until we stop listening
I can drown it out I won't apologise
The pulse is on my sleeve now
and I recognise
I'm preserving my life
I didn't even want you to know
Til April
Shedding my fears when
I needed them most
It's April
Never forget what
I'm still holding close
In April
Still hanging on to
the moments I chose
April
Every single day I fear
The moment won't last
I won't be back
Stitching up my memories
and I'm in between
I won't be so petty cos
I know you're right
Can't stick another blueprint
right upon this life
I'm loosening my grip cos
I believe it's alright
I didn't even want you to know
Til April
Shedding my fears
when I needed them most
It's April
Never forget what
I'm still holding close
In April
Still hanging on to
the moments I chose
April
When it's changing every time
But I'm always just as hopeful
Now I'm grateful and I'm ready to repeat
The deepest highs are twisting me inside
Growing out I'm always left behind
Swimming down below to reach the sky
Filling up my lungs beneath the tide
It's alright
I'm hesitant to believe in me
Swept out in a current
I'm reticent as I'll float to sea
It happens so sudden
But it's alright
To be born and die we're unified in life
Keep growing down the earth
The warm embrace when everything's alright
The lyrics of Yakul's song "April" capture a sense of introspection, vulnerability, and acceptance of life's transient nature. The singer reflects on the passage of time, acknowledging that even though it hasn't been long since a significant event occurred, time seems to fly by swiftly until they find themselves alone. The lyrics express the idea of counting down to a moment of realization, hinting at a sense of detachment from the present moment. The imagery of drowning out external noise and keeping emotions hidden as a way to protect oneself suggests a theme of self-preservation and emotional fortitude.
The repeated refrain of "I didn't even want you to know, 'til April" suggests a reluctance to confront or reveal one's innermost thoughts and feelings until a specific time or moment in the future, possibly symbolizing a period of personal growth or change. Shedding fears and holding onto cherished memories are depicted as crucial aspects of navigating through life's uncertainties. The references to holding onto chosen moments and needing to overcome fear during a pivotal time in April evoke a sense of reflection and resilience.
The second part of the lyrics delves into themes of impermanence and acceptance of change. The singer expresses a fear that moments may not last, emphasizing the fleeting nature of experiences and relationships. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of reconciling with the past, acknowledging past mistakes, and learning to let go of control. There is a sense of surrender and acceptance running through the lines, as the singer loosens their grip on life's uncertainties and embraces the belief that everything will be alright in the end.
The final verses of the song explore a sense of transformation and growth. The singer acknowledges the internal struggles and highs that shape their being, hinting at a process of evolving and coming to terms with inner conflicts. The imagery of being submerged beneath the tide while reaching for the sky symbolizes a journey towards self-discovery and embracing the depths of experience. The song concludes on a note of acceptance and unity with life's cyclical nature, where being swept away by the current of existence is met with a sense of readiness and gratitude.
