Brand New: Sowing Season Meaning

Sowing Season Lyrics

Was losing all my friends
Was losing them to drinking and to driving
Was losing all my friends and I got them back

I am on the mend
At least now I can say that I am trying
And I hope you will forget the things I still...

   I think he is just amplifying the pain and hardship that the twists and turns of your life can put you through. He repeats in different metaphors that you work hard to shape your life and everything you've worked for is easy to ruin in the end. It's deals with a frustration and confusion of if all of it is worth it. Why would you warm a body before you put it in the ground? It will just get cold again. Why do you work for all your money when you could lose it all? Why live life when you're just going to die? If everything comes to an end, why bother starting?

   I think it’s about a failed relationship. At the very end when he yells “I am not your friend. I’m not your lover. I’m not your family.” Basically saying they worked really hard at it, or at least the singer did, but it was just destined to fail basically.

   I think it's about trying to put your life back together after losing someone, a friend, lover, etc. either from death or a falling out, and knowing that things might never restore itself, and the love that person left behind simply doesn't exist anymore. "before you put my body in the cold ground, take some time to warm it with your hands." I think this means that this person wants to know that at least one person loved him when he dies. It's a song about loss, and the struggle of trying to put yourself back together.

   This song in my opinion is about someone getting there life together. It means alot to me personally.
   
   "Was losing them to drinking and to driving, was losing all my friends I got them back"
   "I am on a mend at least now I can say That I am Trying..."
   
   Here is a person who is trying to change, and the difficulty that comes with that, but yet someone who is greatful for the things they have..."Take all that you have and turn it into something you were missing"
   
   Its about getting your life together and being grateful for the things you have...knowing that you are still human and are going to make mistakes but putting in effort to do so
   
   "At least now I can say that I am Trying"

   "at least now I can say that I am trying, hope you will forget, things I still lack, yeah." I think this song is about changing. and even though you are trying, things still aren't working, and you aren't getting the recognition for what you are attempting to do. and also, that you sometimes you build things up, just to watch them fall down. "take all that you have, turn it into something you were missing, somebody threw that brick. and shattered all your plans." I love this song <3

   This song is deeply personal to myself and my family. lets just say that if you know one of the band members personally, the lyrics are about as subtle as a shot of tequila. all I will say is that it's about one of the people the album is dedicated to.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
    Rudyard Kipling
    
    This part of the song is from a poem by rudyard kipling called if. Its said that Jesse saw this poem at his fathers house and used that part of the poem in the song.
    
    
    According to Kipling in his autobiography Something of Myself, posthumously published in 1937, the poem was inspired by Dr Leander Starr Jameson, who in 1895 led a raid by British forces against the Boers in South Africa, subsequently called the Jameson Raid.[2] This defeat increased the tensions that ultimately led to the Second Boer War. The British press, however, portrayed Jameson as a hero in the middle of the disaster, and the actual defeat as a British victory.
    
    I think this songs about the mistake jameson made in the raid. He went a lot earlier then he was supposed to. This caused him to get captured by the boer army. The part when he says a whisper from your father couldnt fix it made me believe that his father told jameson not to do this raid and jameson didn't listen. This caused him to get captured in the raid.
