Seasons by Elton John explores the fleeting nature of time and the cyclical pattern of life. The song reflects on the passage of time, love, and the changing phases of life, much like the changing seasons. There are notes of nostalgia and introspection as the lyrics delve into the inevitabilities and transformations that come with each phase of life. Key themes include the transient nature of existence, the beauty of each life stage, and a deep appreciation for moments that define our journey. Poignant moments in the song include references to memories and reflections on love and life's ephemeral beauty.
