Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all

And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed
Dreams have never made my bed

And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

Now I want to fly above the storm
But you can't grow feathers in the rain
And the naked floor is cold as hell
This naked floor reminds me
Oh the naked floor reminds me

And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay

And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

    General Comment:I know the answer because I asked him!!

    I was at his concert last year in Paris and luckily close enough for me to shout out to him " what's Seasons about Chris?"

    This is what he said, more or less, after a good 10 or so seconds.

    'Seasons,.......it was written in a time when Seattle was moving so fast..... and I just wanted to slow it all down.'

    Epic moment, and then I missed half the song when he played it as I went to the bathroom. Yep, I am an idiot,

    General Comment:Wow... this song is beautiful. Chris' blues guitar and soulful voice in this song make it probably more special than anything Soundgarden ever put out... and I love Soundgarden. I see this song as being about being young and confused about your feelings, and watching time roll by while you mature.

    My Interpretation:I think it means you express ur true feelings to someone I can't make this any clearer. I like sic man's interpretation....other than that Chris Cornell is awesome just wish that Soundgarden would just do a reunion show this song is deep. 'nuff said

    General Comment:Fantastic lyrics!! Perfect voice! Perfect song!! I think it's about loneliness and how you haven't managed to accomplish some of your goals and just have dreams!

    General Comment:I think this song is about the drive to do what you want to do in life, and the frustration that sometimes exists when you fall short of having the path or the motivation to doing that. The lines, “Dreams have never been the answer, And dreams have never made my bed.” Indicate to me that doing, not dreaming, is what gets results. By not taking the charge of your life, you will be left behind as seasons roll on by.

    General Comment:Its about not being able to find the right thing to say to the person you really want to say it to, and how time slips by and theres nothing you can do about it. I think it is not only saying this, but i think it is saying how it may already be too late, and he missed the opportunity he should have took long ago, and now its gone.

    General Comment:Sorry - typo - that should be 'stay', although 'say would make sense too.

    General Comment:btw, I think the line is 'and not even stay' but 'I might even say'. Makes much more sense. But I'd just like to state again that this song is sheer poetry, and it runs deep.
