Seasons

The lyrics contrast a timeless, unchanging state with a world shaped by the passing seasons. At first, the speaker describes a time before familiar weather and cycles existed. Once the seasons arrive, nature becomes vivid and active. The speaker responds to each season personally: winter invites sleep, summer brings a search for shade, and spring seems to encourage movement and renewal.

Several images make the changing world feel tangible. The sky’s “velvet skin” suggests a soft, beautiful surface, while rain “like glass” emphasizes its clear, almost delicate appearance. The leaves “dying” in autumn and the “new born life” of spring present the seasons as a cycle of endings and beginnings. “Moving on” may mean simply adapting to the year’s progress, but it can also suggest a broader readiness to leave one stage behind.

The song’s mood is appreciative but not wholly carefree: the speaker enjoys nature’s variety while also feeling winter’s heaviness and summer’s discomfort. The repeated return to a time “without years and seasons” could express wonder at how change began, or nostalgia for a simpler, timeless state. The lyrics do not settle whether the speaker welcomes change or merely accepts it as necessary; both feelings seem present.
