The Arrival
Embracing Change: The Profound Evolution in 'The Arrival'
Lyrics
So you've got something to say
Expressing readiness to listen to someone's thoughts or opinions.
And it won't take very long
Assuring that the conversation won't be time-consuming.
The years have given you perspective
Implying that experience over time has provided a broader understanding.
I will give you the same length
Promising to allocate the same duration as the song for the conversation.
That it takes to sing this song
Indicating the length of the conversation, aligned with the song's duration.
Time made me a monster
Stating that time has transformed the speaker into someone aggressive.
And not I'm armed
Feeling equipped or empowered due to this transformation.
Can't do much like I used to
Expressing limitations in abilities compared to the past.
Can't do what I used to do
Reflecting on the inability to perform tasks as before.
But I accept it
Coming to terms with these limitations.
I held to hope for years
Having held onto hope for an extended period.
Or was is only months
Questioning the duration of that hopeful period (years or months).
So soon I won't remember
Anticipating forgetting the hope soon.
But it never went away
Asserting that a feeling or situation persisted continuously.
I saw it everyday
Claiming constant exposure to something.
I gave until my anger
Implying that the speaker's anger led to giving something up.
Gave you away
Suggesting a sacrifice made due to anger.
Can't do much like I used to
Reiterating limitations in abilities compared to the past.
Can't do what I used to do
Reaffirming the inability to perform tasks as before.
But I accept it
Reconciling with these limitations.
It won't take very long
Reiterating that the conversation won't be time-consuming.
