The meaning of the lyrics of the song "This Year" by the artist "White Buffalo, The"

Contents

This Year by The White Buffalo is a reflection on the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life, viewed through the lens of the changing seasons. The lyrical protagonist ponders the past year, its joys and sorrows, victories and defeats.

The song begins with the protagonist describing New Year's Eve, full of merriment and hope, but already tinged with melancholy. The year has flown by, leaving behind mixed feelings. The arrival of spring brings renewal and optimism, but the protagonist notices that he himself does not change with nature.

Summer is a time of carefree joy and hope for a bright future. But autumn brings with it fading and sadness, reminding us of the transience of life. The protagonist wonders about the meaning of life and death, about his own immutability against the backdrop of a changing world.

Winter is a time of cold and despair. The festive mood is overshadowed by financial difficulties and an existential crisis. At the end of the song, the protagonist admits his mistakes and failures, but retains a faint hope for change in the coming year.

Another year older, it came and went

Blood and the tears and the money spent

The new year's here with the same old cast

We dance and we drink like it may be our last

Buzzin' waitin' for the countdown to come

Feels like slow motion from ten to one

A kiss and the fireworks light the sky

Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne

Let's focus on this night alone

Just hope that we'd make it home alive

The Earth it turns, spring rushes in

Days get longer and nights go thin

Mother wakes up a little brighter than before

Cold melts away and the gardens grow

The air is crisp and fields are sweet

Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet

Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing

Fill up the day with the songs they bring

And I don't feel much like singing at all

Seasons change but I don't change at all

Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear

Maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, this year

Ooh, here comes summer, well it's comin' in hot

No shirt, no school, give it all you got

The sun, it calls so let's go outside

Toastin' our drinks in the warm sunshine

The asphalt smoulders in the city streets

You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet

Splashin' and yellin' the cannonball

Enough love and laughter for one and all

Oh the future's, future's looking bright

I think that I might get it right after all

Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind

Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again

Like embers they float into the streets

Golden and red and they dance with the bees

Well it's close of the curtains, let's stay inside

No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die

Well how could it all fall apart so fast

And why would I think it would ever last?

When everything is dying, well, how can I feel alive?

Oh, life is short, well all good days disappear

Maybe I've been lost, maybe I'll get found, this year

Well the winter and the cold come storming in

Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin

Day's too short and the night's too long

Carolers came, I can't sing along

Oh money's all gone, don't know where it went

Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent

And the lights go out to a silent night

And all you can do is just stay in the fight

And I just can't see the wrong, and I just can't see the right

Oh, life is hard, I've been fighting, but failed

Maybe I've been lost, don't think I'll get found, this year

Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear

But maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, next year
