Cover art for Leaves lyrics by Gathering, The

I love the Gathering and I love this song.

I definitely feel that this song is about someone seeking a moment of freedom within a stranger. I think that this song is definitely about a one night stand, but one party in a one night stand temporarily seeking some kind of false love for only a moment, "cry with me, make my day, tomorrow all will be gone".

Crying is a deep emotion to have with someone, especially someone that you just met. So I definitely feel like the character in the song wants some false emotion just because it'll make them feel better, even temporarily. They know the emotions aren't real, but they just want the indulgence, the illusion of something intense, deep and real.

I think that the person who had the one night stand doesn't even really care, even tho she says she really cares at the end, she still doesn't really care she just wants to pretend like she cares because it makes her feel better. She's willing herself to care, to feel. "Now that you're gone, I don't know, how to really feel inside." But she said she just wants her "day made", so she knows how she feels inside honestly speaking, it's in my opinion a nice little play on words.

Anyway,

great music from a great band and anneke is an AMAZING singer and kills this song with the voice as sharp as an angel's sword. Very NICE! :D
