how powerful the lyrics are

One of my absolute favourite songs is by a band Haste the Day, and is called Autumn. I just love the lyrics so unbelievably much. It goes:

Red leaves blow in the wind
Leaving home and everything it's known behind
Barren branches wave goodbye
As the red leaves slowly die
Every flower stares and watches
As the wind takes me away
Before the sun shone upon me
Now the wind takes me away
Red leaves falling
Through the branches
Making their way to the ground
Blowing by the flowers sleeping
No one knows the leaves are leaving

I know that the band will have their own interpretation of this song, but i have my own which i love =]

For me it signals leaving the 'summer' season of your life. You leave the season and everything you've known. The safety, the love, the warmth and the light. You leave your 'anchor' (the tree) and let the wind capture you as you dance along in a life that you cannot control because your just a little leaf, being blown about by the wind.

The flowers are the people that stand there, seeing you as this 'red leaf' but eventually the people fall asleep and don't notice that you have slipped from the tree's branches, no one knows whats happening to you. All they know s that you were this once beautiful leaf on the tree of life.

I can kind of see my own life in this song, in fact i think almost every one can see their own life in this song. Loving God, yet letting yourself slip but no body is there to catch you because they think your still firmly attached to the tree.

*sighs* i'm listening to the acoustic version of this song at the moment and it is just so beautiful. It sends shivers down my spins when i think about how powerful the lyrics are.
