Until
Embracing Life's Colors: Carl Allocco's Reflective Journey in 'Until'
Lyrics
Where do I begin, which way do I face
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about where to start or which direction to take in life.
Is there someone I can call
Wondering if there is someone to turn to for guidance or support.
Cause life has settled in, and I'm tired of the taste
Feeling that life has become routine and monotonous, and expressing a desire for change.
I'm tired of living so small
Expressing fatigue and dissatisfaction with a small, unfulfilling life.
And they never tell you life is long
Reflecting on the idea that life is longer than expected, with the potential to feel endless.
It can just go on and on
Emphasizing the idea that life can continue indefinitely without a clear endpoint.
And, what if, one day, when it all just seems to slip away
Contemplating the possibility of losing everything in life.
What if all these days we fill
Raising the question of whether the days filled with activities and routines will ultimately be meaningful.
Won't mean a thing, until
Suggesting that the value of the days lived won't be apparent or significant until a certain point.
Why do some things end just before they start
Pondering why some experiences come to an end prematurely, before they fully develop.
I'd really like to know
Expressing a genuine curiosity about the reasons behind certain life events.
Cause every now and then, before it falls apart
Noting that sometimes, just before things fall apart, there's a fleeting moment of understanding or clarity.
We catch a glimpse, then let go
Acknowledging that these moments are ephemeral, and often, we let them slip away.
That's when they tell you life is short
Contrasting the previous notion of life's length by suggesting that life is short, so caution is advised.
Just be careful, don't get lost
Advising to be careful and not to lose oneself in the complexities of life.
Cause what if, one day, all those words you've yet to say
Presenting a hypothetical scenario of regret for unsaid words if they are not expressed in time.
What if, you never will, waiting just until
Suggesting that waiting for the right moment may lead to missed opportunities.
Until the time is right, beneath the black and white
Describing an idealized moment in the future when everything will be in harmony and vivid.
There's color everywhere, and I can meet you there
Inviting someone to a beautiful and meaningful place where the connection is deep.
Where the sky is always blue and all I'll ever need is you
Expressing that love and a meaningful connection are the only essentials in that ideal place.
They love to tell you when you're wrong
Noting that people often criticize and point out mistakes, suggesting to ignore them and stay true to oneself.
Just ignore them, sing your song
Encouraging to pursue one's passion and express oneself despite criticism.
Cause what if, one day, things begin to go your way
Presenting the possibility of a positive change in life's trajectory.
And what if all your standing still was only just, until
Suggesting that the current state of standing still is temporary and will change.
Until now
Indicating that the change has occurred, and the present moment marks a shift in perspective or circumstances.
