seasons is a song by South Korean indie rock band wave to earth, released on August 4, 2020, as part of their EP summer flows 0.02.

Written and produced by Kim Daniel, “seasons” is a poignant love song that explores themes of longing, self-doubt, and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics depict a narrator who feels unworthy of the person they love, expressing a fear that their presence might bring harm rather than happiness. Despite this, the song conveys a deep devotion, with the narrator promising to give “all my life, my seasons” if they could be by their loved one’s side.

Musically, “seasons” features gentle guitar melodies, understated percussion, and atmospheric arrangements that highlight the band’s introspective style. The track’s melancholic yet hopeful tone has resonated with listeners, helping to establish wave to earth as a standout act in South Korea’s indie scene.

I can’t be your love
Look, it’s too trivial for you now
Oh, my life is fallin’ apart
Maybe no one will notice if I disappear

But I’ll pray for you all the time
If I could be by your side
I’ll give you all my life, my seasons [1]

I can’t be your love
‘Cause I’m afraid I’ll ruin your life, hmm
While the leaves withered away
And grew again
You have gone far away
I’ll be pushing up daisies
And bring all the chances to here

But I’ll pray for you all the time
If I could be by your side
I’ll give you all my life, my seasons [1]
By your side, I’ll be your seasons, hmm

My love

I can’t be your love
Look, it’s too trivial for you now
Oh, my life is fallin’ apart
Maybe no one will notice if I disappear

But I’ll pray for you all the time
If I could be by your side
I’ll give you all my life, my seasons [1]

I can’t be your love
‘Cause I’m afraid I’ll ruin your life, hmm

And bring all the chances to here

But I’ll pray for you all the time
If I could be by your side
I’ll give you all my life, my seasons [1]
By your side, I’ll be your seasons, hmm

[1] I’ll give you all my life, my seasons

To give someone all of your seasons connotes ideas of all consuming, eternal love.
Seasons connote a sense of natural change, a range of weather could link to pathetic fallacy. The connotations of summer and winter as warm and cold (better and worse) could reinforce the integrity of the writer’s love as he will love his partner through conflict and peace.
