Timeless Child
Echoes of Time: Unveiling Life's Choices in Black Paisley's 'Timeless Child'
Lyrics
Do you still remember baby
Asking if there is still a recollection of past experiences or emotions.
The words that I use to say
Referencing past verbal expressions and communication.
People come and go
Acknowledging the transient nature of relationships.
And most will take the easy way
Observing that many choose the path of least resistance in life.
Do you still remember Mama
Echoing a similar sentiment about maternal figures and past communication.
The words that I use to know
Reflecting on familiar phrases or expressions from the past.
The moment comes for you
Highlighting a critical moment in life, implying uncertainty beyond it.
The rest is always hard to know
Suggesting that the future is unpredictable or difficult to discern.
The voices come when you're alone
Noting the emergence of inner voices during moments of solitude.
Can you hear me Father
Addressing a paternal figure, possibly seeking guidance or connection.
So be careful who you love
Advising caution in choosing whom to love, especially during emotional turmoil.
When you burning up inside
Warning about the consequences of intense internal struggles.
When you're leaving you're alone
Expressing the loneliness experienced during departure.
Can you see it Mother
Asking a maternal figure if they can perceive or understand.
Take a good look at us now
Encouraging a closer examination of the present situation.
What is deep down inside
Prompting introspection into one's true, internal feelings.
Timeless child
Introducing the concept of a "Timeless child," possibly symbolizing an enduring essence.
You should have known me better
Expressing a sense of disappointment or missed understanding.
You should have let me go
Suggesting that letting go might have been a preferable choice.
Sometimes hard to find
Referring to the difficulty of finding specific words or expressions.
The words that you are looking for
Emphasizing the challenge of verbal communication in certain situations.
So many years together
Reflecting on the passage of time spent together.
So many reasons why
Pointing out the existence of numerous reasons for various experiences.
The moment comes for you
Reiterating the significance of critical moments in life.
And now it's just a sad goodbye
Conveying a sense of sadness associated with saying goodbye.
