Our Little Time
Eternal Echoes of Love: Beyond The Black's 'Our Little Time' Revealed
Lyrics
Try not to think of me, but try not to bury me
Encouragement to avoid dwelling on the speaker but also not to completely forget about them
Keep it alive as a moment of trust
Preserving a moment of trust and keeping it alive
But if you’d remember me
Hoping for the remembrance from the other person
Sure it would comfort me
Expressing comfort in being remembered
Just never forget to go on with your life
Encouraging the continuation of the listener's life
And tomorrow you’ll find
Assurance that a better future awaits
What you longed for, what you aimed for
Desire for freedom within genuine love
Freedom in true love
Describing the desired outcome of true love
Sinful we’ll die, but we have reached the sky
Acknowledging mortality but also achieving something significant
Black as a raven
Using imagery to describe a dark aspect
I was chasing the darkest nights
Searching for deeper experiences in life
Love is no lie - and it remains for good inside
Affirming the permanence of love
Deep in my heart I’ll keep it alive
Committing to keeping love alive within
And try not to forget
Trying not to forget a shared moment
Our litte time
Referencing the limited time spent together
You took me as I am
Acceptance of the speaker as they are without possessing them
And claimed no possessory
Respecting individual freedom in the relationship
Free as a bird I could relish your love
Feeling liberated and cherished in the relationship
I never feel lonely, you’re alive in my memory
Feeling the presence of the other person in memory
I will never forget the few moments we had
Commitment to remembering the brief shared moments
But I still hope you’ll find
Hoping for the other person's fulfillment
What you longed for, what you aimed for
Reiteration of the desire for freedom within love
Freedom in true love
Describing the desired outcome of genuine love
Sinful we’ll die, but we have reached the sky...
Acknowledging mortality but also achieving something significant (repeated)
Bleeding, crumbling to the sound of my heart and my breath
Feeling emotional pain and vulnerability
I am here with you - in my head - in my head If I could move closer,
Feeling connected mentally despite physical distance
I would creep inside of you
Expressing a desire for intimate closeness
And I try not to - to go insane - ‘cause I regret - I regret
Struggling with emotions and regrets
Sinful we’ll die, but we have reached the sky...
A repetition of acknowledging mortality and achieving significance
