September

How the time passed away, all the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on
We reach for something that's already gone, yeah

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town (we knew we had to leave this town)
But we never knew when and we never knew how (we never knew how)
We would end up here the way we are
Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town (we knew we had to leave this town)
But we never knew when and we never knew how (we never knew how)

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end

Nostalgia e Crescimento em September de Daughtry

A música September, da banda Daughtry, liderada pelo vocalista Chris Daughtry, é uma viagem nostálgica que reflete sobre o passar do tempo e as memórias da juventude. A letra da música evoca imagens de dias despreocupados passados ao lado de um lago, brincando na chuva e fazendo promessas. Há uma sensação palpável de saudade por esses momentos que, embora tenham passado, deixaram uma marca indelével na memória do narrador.

A canção aborda a inevitabilidade da mudança e como as experiências da juventude moldam quem nos tornamos. O refrão 'Os anos passam e o tempo parece voar, mas as memórias permanecem' ressalta a ideia de que, apesar do tempo avançar rapidamente, as lembranças desses tempos preciosos continuam vivas. A música sugere que, embora o passado não possa ser alterado e o futuro seja incerto, o valor dessas experiências passadas é inestimável e contribui para o crescimento pessoal.

A banda Daughtry é conhecida por suas baladas de rock com letras introspectivas, e September não é exceção. A música consegue capturar a essência da transição da juventude para a idade adulta, reconhecendo as perdas e ganhos que acompanham esse processo. A mensagem final da música é uma de aceitação e apreciação: apesar de todas as incertezas e desafios enfrentados ao longo do caminho, olhando para trás, o narrador conclui que 'valeu a pena no final'. Essa conclusão otimista oferece um conforto para aqueles que estão refletindo sobre suas próprias jornadas de vida.
