Time Keeps Marching On
Embracing Tomorrow's Light Amidst Life's Shadows
Lyrics
When looking at the sun hurts your eyes
Feeling discomfort or pain when facing the truth or reality.
And every single day is flying by
Time passing quickly, perhaps without fulfillment or purpose.
Nothing in the world could bring you out
An inability to be lifted from a self-made emotional or situational struggle.
Of the hole that you dug all for yourself
Facing the consequences of one's own actions or choices.
When looking at the moon makes you cry
Emotional pain triggered by contemplating the beauty of the moon.
And your life feels like the roll of a die
Life's uncertainties, likened to the unpredictability of a dice roll.
Keep your eyes upon the stars
Encouragement to focus on lofty goals and aspirations.
And just maybe you will go far
Suggesting that aiming for the stars may lead to success.
Cuz baby the time keeps marching on
A reminder of the unstoppable nature of time.
All the memories becoming lost
The fading of past experiences from memory.
Worried 'bout the past and you can't move on
Being stuck in past regrets, hindering progress.
Every single day is the last straw
Each day feeling like a breaking point or moment of crisis.
Walking down the road late at night
Nighttime contemplation, possibly symbolizing solitude or reflection.
Blinding headlights zooming by
Rapidly passing challenges or obstacles.
Passing by a graveyard in my sight
A stark reminder of mortality and the transience of life.
A fleeting reminder of our plight
A momentary glimpse of the fragility of existence.
Between what I am and what I'll be
The ongoing tension between current identity and future self.
Feels like I'm constantly gambling
A sense of constant risk or uncertainty in decision-making.
A conflict buried in so, so deep
An internal struggle buried deeply within.
But I can't give in to that fear
Resisting succumbing to the fear that comes with internal conflict.
But baby the time keeps marching on
Reiteration of the relentless progression of time.
Every single line your conscious draws
Examining and acknowledging one's moral or ethical boundaries.
Connecting the dots where you went wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes and trying to make sense of them.
But the time keeps marching on
Emphasis on the continuous, unstoppable march of time.
