“This song is probably the darkest song we’ve ever written. It’s written in the third person and is about watching someone be torn apart by something in his or her life, and eventually losing hope and being conquered by it. Suicide and depression are far too common. It’s equally sad and terrifying....
Seedwong Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lay down your head and drift
Dream to close the rift between the world and your heart
And float away on pleasant thoughts
Far away from things that haunt and
Fee to the bleakness you see all around
And run away now to the place, to the bliss
That you created to escape, to escape
[Chorus]
It’s early autumn where you are
The air is cool, but not yet cold
The sun is sinking and the skyline glows
While you’re waiting for the stars
[Post-Chorus]
You’d rather spend all of your time in your head
“Why can’t I just stay here instead?”, you say
“No one’s gonna miss me back where I’m from anyway.”
[Verse 2]
I wish that I could take all your bottled pain
And hold it down inside me
Hope, you just lost your hope
I know that where you are now is where you wanted to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Goodbye. Now you don’t have to close your eyes to feel alive
I hope you’re smiling down at me
[Chorus]
It’s early autumn where you are
The air is cool, but not yet cold
The sun is sinking and the skyline glows
While you’re waiting for the stars
