Leaving The Citadel Lyrics

You seemed so strong, stood your ground. is this enough to make you proud?

The seasons barely change. They move too fast for me. Back home the autumn leaves are falling softly from the trees. Don't take this away, I'm close to sanity. I pushed against the grain and drove a thousand miles away.

There's nothing left (I've given all i have)
Done what I can (I've leaned into the wind) It's all (It's all) For you (I've done all that I can) There's nothing left (I've given all I have)

You seemed so strong,stood you ground. Is this enough to make you proud? You seemed so strong, stood your ground. Are you proud?

Winter turns to spring, but it still looks the same. The city is gray and there's still the constant rain. Now I understand the things you gave to me. Because I have the means to fight a faceless enemy.

There's nothing left (I've given all i have)
Done what I can (I've leaned into the wind) It's all (It's all) For you (I've done all that I can) There's nothing left (I've given all I have)

I'm sorry. I'm trying. Are you there?

You seemed so strong, stood your ground. is this enough to make you proud?

Done what I can (I've leaned into the wind) It's all (It's all) For you (I've done all that I can) There's nothing left (I've given all I have)

You seemed so strong,stood you ground. Is this enough to make you proud? You seemed so strong, stood your ground. Are you proud?

There's nothing left (I've given all i have)
Done what I can (I've leaned into the wind) It's all (It's all) For you (I've done all that I can) There's nothing left (I've given all I have)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is Awsome! n there isn't any comments?!?!?

I think the most obivious meaning is that this is about somebody going off to collage or simply just moving out of their parents house (back home the autumn leaves ... and drove a thousnd miles away)

However, if u look deeper it also could represent a relationship where the singer '[did] what [he] could' to make it work and so did the other person. Everything seemed fine on the surface (winter turns to spring, but it still looks the same) but they both still have hard feelings n fight a lot (... there's still the constant rain.) Still, the singer is sorry for what was said n done and by a saying 'Are you there?' he is asking if the person he cares for is still wants to try or if they have already set their mind to leave.

Just a thought

I think this song just means sometimes you have to do what you know is best for you and fuck the rest.
