| Spring Awakening – Blue Wind Lyrics | 12 years ago |

As I have been studying this song because I auditioned for the role of Ilse, I came up with my own interpretation: I think this song is a metaphor for Ilse's manic depression, or bipolar disorder. "Spring and summer" refer to her good days, when she is feeling manic or normal, and "every other day" refers to the roller coaster back-and-forth of her condition. "Autumn" and "winter" symbolize her depression, the "Blue Wind" being her mood as it travels through the "seasons" of her illness. Since Ilse has had such a tragic life, it is easy to imagine she has horrible days and better days; she has many reasons to be depressed, but she also tries to find the hope in everything. |
