Swimming Through Life's Lessons: Albany Lore's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
I'm counting down the hours
I am patiently waiting for a specific period of time.
That measure
That duration is being measured or evaluated.
A walk from me to you
Describing the distance between the speaker and someone else as a walk.
Counting down the hours
Continuing the anticipation of a certain time frame.
That'll get me there
Referring to the hours that will lead to the destination.
I'm drawing on some lessons
Reflecting on lessons learned, possibly from past experiences.
That I never thought to be true
Realizing the truth in lessons that were unexpected.
Forget the stepping stones on the river
Suggesting the abandonment of conventional paths or methods.
'Cause I'm swimming through
Choosing to navigate challenges directly instead of relying on shortcuts.
""Forget the stepping stones""
Repeating the idea of disregarding traditional ways of reaching a goal.
Said the younger me
Quoting the younger self who was eager to reach the destination quickly.
In a rush to get to you
Expressing impatience and haste in reaching the intended person.
Never thought about the swells
Acknowledging the unforeseen challenges or difficulties in the journey.
That were never gonna play fair
Emphasizing the unfair nature of obstacles that arise.
So it's not who or what
Reflecting on the importance of the source or influence of one's time.
I take my time from
Stating that the speaker doesn't rush and carefully selects influences.
It's who or what I give it to
Emphasizing the significance of the recipient of the speaker's time.
That concerns me
Expressing concern about the choices made regarding time.
And I like giving my time to you
Expressing a positive sentiment about allocating time to the intended person.
Good thing I like swimming too
Highlighting the speaker's enjoyment of both swimming and investing time in the relationship.
The sun's going down
Setting the scene with the sun setting and a sense of solitude.
There's no one around
Describing the absence of people in the surroundings.
Shapeless waves carry me
Depicting the fluid, unpredictable nature of the speaker's journey.
And when it comes round
Anticipating the return of a significant point in time or event.
I'll still be you bound, yeah
Committing to the destination, remaining bound to the intended person.
There's no way around it
Asserting that there's no avoiding a certain situation or challenge.
Just keep on swimming
Encouraging perseverance and continuous effort despite challenges.
We'll find it
Expressing confidence in eventually finding the desired destination or outcome.
There's no way around it, no
Reiterating the inevitability of facing and overcoming challenges.
And on our way down
Envisioning reaching the end of the journey without creating a disturbance.
We'll have reached the ground
Imagining a quiet and seamless conclusion to the journey.
Without a sound to spare
Concluding the lyrics by emphasizing a silent and uneventful arrival.
