Time
Time's Unyielding Flow: A Journey Beyond Tears
Lyrics
Time is moving on
Time is progressing.
But you keep on crying
Despite the passage of time, you are still experiencing sorrow.
Crying oh so long
You've been crying for a considerable duration.
But I keep on moving, moving, moving right along
The speaker is moving forward and not dwelling on the past sorrows.
When you see me walking by her side
The speaker is seen with someone else; don't react negatively.
Don't give no dirty looks
Advising not to give disapproving looks.
You can know you can be my bride
The listener could be the speaker's future spouse.
But I'll just remove your hooks
The speaker will resist any attempts to manipulate or control.
So what your thinking can't be true
What the listener thinks might not be accurate.
So you keep that in mind
Remember this and don't jump to conclusions.
Time is moving on
Reiteration of the passage of time.
But you keep on crying
Continued expression of the listener's prolonged sorrow.
Crying oh so long
Highlighting the duration of the listener's crying.
But I keep on moving, moving, moving right along
The speaker is focused on moving forward despite the listener's emotional state.
When I'm passing down the back of school
Passing by the back of school; potential confrontation with authority figures.
The teacher's start to kneel
The teachers show submission or respect (kneeling).
They try to play me for a fool
The speaker won't be deceived or taken advantage of.
But they can go to hell
Defiance against authority figures.
So what they're saying can't be true,
The accusations against the speaker are not true; a plea to reconsider.
So you keep that in mind
Repeat of advice to keep an open mind.
Time is moving on
Reiteration of the inexorable march of time.
But you keep on crying
Despite time passing, the listener is still immersed in sorrow.
Crying oh so long
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of the listener's crying.
But I keep on moving, moving, moving right along
The speaker remains focused on progressing forward.
On the highway going 91 while the cops are catching a snooze
Describing a situation on the highway, possibly involving law enforcement.
Never thought we'd have so much fun just skipping and sipping the booze
Unanticipated enjoyment from unconventional activities like skipping and drinking.
Rocking goes away if you make it
The impact of difficulties diminishes if you face them.
So you keep that in mind
Reiteration of the advice to keep an open mind.
Time is moving on
Time keeps moving, and so does the listener's sorrow.
But you keep on crying
The listener is urged to move past the prolonged crying.
Crying oh so long
Highlighting the extended duration of the listener's tears.
But I keep on moving, moving, moving right along
The speaker is determined to keep progressing.
Time (is moving on)
Reiteration of the inevitability of time passing.
Time (is moving on)
Time is emphasized once again.
Time (is moving on)
Continued emphasis on the progression of time.
Time (is moving on)
Time is reiterated as an unstoppable force.
