April

The lyrics describe someone who feels lonely and sad during a season usually associated with sunshine and new life. Although the sun appears and spring arrives, the speaker cannot feel its warmth. The absence of someone important seems to shape how the whole world looks. The mood moves between brief moments of smiling and the return of grief, which feels as if it may never end.

The “grey sky” can be understood both as the actual weather and as a picture of the speaker’s sadness. The speaker says the sky should be blue, just as they feel they should be able to see the person they miss. Calling April “cruel” contrasts the season’s promise of brightness with the pain the speaker experiences. “I can’t feel the sun” suggests that comfort or happiness is present in the world, but feels unreachable to them.

The lyrics do not explain who is missing or why they are gone, so the loss could have different causes. The repeated question “why?” shows a wish for an explanation, while “I don’t know” admits that none is available. The song may be read as grief, loneliness, or another deep sadness; its central contrast is between spring’s apparent renewal and the speaker’s continuing inner darkness.
