Father Time
Time's Imprint: Reflections on Change and Lost Connections
Lyrics
Open up your locket does solidarity breed from a good foundation?
Questioning if unity arises from a solid foundation.
Things speed out of date now you can be falling and when your up it's blown
Things become outdated quickly, leading to a possibility of falling when elevated.
Up with all new buildings painted they're not your
Newly painted buildings don't retain familiarity.
Colors and all the places you went to you don't get what they offer and hey
Places visited don't offer what was expected; questioning the past.
That's Nathan but didn't he pass a long time ago?
Questioning the existence or relevance of someone named Nathan who passed away.
Where'd he go?
Querying the whereabouts of Nathan.
We exorcised the weekend now all the demons can't play but they snuck into
Weekend activities have been restrained, but negative influences find a way to enter.
Thursday
Specifically mentioning Thursday, possibly indicating unexpected intrusion or disruption.
Looking out for panthers from the road again but didn't they pass a long
Remaining cautious while traveling, questioning the existence of panthers from the past.
Time ago?
Reiterating doubts about the existence of certain things from the past.
Luck it's not it's real. No it's not real
Rejecting the reality of luck.
Maybe it's only real when lightning landed and hit you right where you were
Speculating that luck might only seem real in rare, impactful moments.
Standing
Highlighting moments where lightning-like impactful events make luck seem real.
Or when your imagination shows you what only time is supposed to tell you
When imagination reveals what time is supposed to unfold.
Then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
Imagining time as a powerful force with great influence from the past.
From a long time ago
Referencing time's significance from a distant past.
And did I remember suitcase and all the things in my head and all the
Remembering possessions and expectations, contemplating doing something noteworthy.
Expectations of doing something special
Considering the possibility of leaving abruptly.
I could be gone today
Questioning where a sudden departure might lead.
But where do they take me?
Luck it's not real though my feelings say it's real
Rejecting the reality of luck based on feelings.
Maybe it's only real when someone blinds you when they had always been so
Considering luck as real when someone unexpectedly causes harm despite past kindness.
Kind to you
Believing imagination remains fresh and hoping for time to reveal truths.
Imagination won't get moldy can't wait for time to unfold me
Reiterating the depiction of time as a powerful force with significant plans from the past.
Then I imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
Reflecting on time's perceived dominance from a distant past.
From a long time ago
