Lost Time
Chasing Shadows: Unraveling the Essence of Lost Time
Lyrics
When you go down below with something you don't know
Experiencing uncertainty or unfamiliarity, leading to a descent into unknown territory.
That's lost time, that's just time you gave away
Time spent without purpose or result, given away without gaining anything.
If you get caught on the up and find you're in a rut
Being trapped in a repetitive and unproductive situation while moving upward.
Well that's lost time, just an unpaid holiday
Time spent in a situation without benefits, comparable to an unpaid vacation.
Losing 10 years on a premonition
Wasting a significant amount of time based on a vague sense of the future.
Lord it felt you were on a mission
Feeling a sense of purpose or determination, possibly misled.
But really there was something missing
Recognizing an absence or deficiency in one's endeavors.
That's lost time, that's lost time, wishing all the world were mine
Expressing a desire for a world where all is owned or controlled.
That's lost time, that's what everybody's saying
Referring to the common sentiment that time is lost for everyone.
And you thought you'd find some shelter
Anticipating finding refuge or safety.
But there's just helter skelter
Finding chaos and confusion instead of the expected shelter.
And really not a thing to help you
Discovering a lack of assistance or support in difficult times.
That's lost time
Reiterating the concept of time being lost.
Go with what she said about that country music
Regarding the deceptive nature of country music or romantic relationships.
That's lost time, that's just lovers playing games
Time spent playing games in relationships without meaningful outcomes.
Chatter in your head, let it follow you to bed
Persistent thoughts that linger, affecting one's peace of mind.
And that's lost time, that's just echoes in your brain
Time lost due to lingering thoughts, manifesting as mental echoes.
Living like there would be no tomorrow
Living with the assumption that there is no consequence for actions.
With nothing permanent to borrow
Lacking permanence or stability in one's life.
Now you're drowning in the sorrow
Experiencing deep sadness or regret.
That's lost time, that's lost time, you were always on my mind
Expressing that the person was always in the thoughts of the speaker.
And that's lost time, that's what all the people say
Conveying the common perception that time is lost according to people's opinions.
And you thought you'd love forever
Believing in eternal love but facing a reality where it's not reciprocated.
Now she won't pull your lever
Referring to a partner not responding or reciprocating affection.
But really you just ain't that clever
Acknowledging a lack of intelligence or foresight in dealing with the situation.
That's lost time, that's lost time, wishing all the world were mine
Expressing a desire for ownership or control over the entire world.
That's lost time, that's what everybody say
Reiterating the prevalent notion that time is lost for everyone.
And you thought you'd find some shelter
Anticipating finding refuge or safety, similar to line 11.
But there's just helter skelter
Finding chaos and confusion instead of the expected shelter, similar to line 12.
And really not a thing to help you
Discovering a lack of assistance or support in difficult times, similar to line 13.
That's lost time
Reiterating the concept of time being lost, similar to line 14.
That's lost time
Concluding the repetition of the theme of lost time.
