Time Machine
Regrets Rewind: Yearning for Youth in "Time Machine
Lyrics
I wanna be young again
I have a desire to return to my youth.
Build a time machine like my friend once said
I wish to create a time machine, inspired by a friend's suggestion.
And go back to the good old days
The goal is to revisit the past, specifically the good old days.
And fix my old mistakes
I aim to rectify the mistakes I made in the past.
Make new decisions
Expressing the intent to make new and better decisions.
See if life would be different
Curiosity about how life would be different with alternative choices.
Is the conversation I once had
Referring to a past conversation about this desire.
But little did I know
Despite the desire, unaware of future personal growth.
I would continue to grow
Unexpectedly, personal growth continues over time.
And leave behind all that
Leaving behind aspects of the past during personal development.
And I always knew
Always having the desire to stay young.
That I wanted to stay young
Expressing the wish to remain young.
But I never thought it’d go by this fast
Surprised at how quickly time has passed since youth.
And now all I want
Current desire is to go back in time.
Is the chance To go back
Yearning for the opportunity to revisit the past.
I wanna be young again
Reiteration of the desire to be young again.
Build a time machine like my friend once said
Reiterating the goal of creating a time machine.
And go back to the good old days
Revisiting the desire to go back to the good old days.
And fix my old mistakes
Continuing the theme of wanting to correct past mistakes.
As I listen to the songs in the car
Reflecting on memories triggered by songs in the car.
The memories hit me so hard
Memories evoke strong emotions.
And when I look at the photos
Photographs remind of a time when vulnerability was possible.
I remember a time
Recollection of a time when letting down one's guard was feasible.
I could let down my guard
Reflecting on the belief that playing pretend would persist.
And I always thought
Long-held belief in maintaining a sense of imagination.
I would be playing pretend
Expectation of playing pretend in the backyard.
In our backyard
Recognition of imagination fading with age.
But as imagination fades
Challenges associated with growing older.
And I grow older by the day
The difficulty of maintaining imagination as one grows older.
That gets pretty hard
Expressing the hardship of the aging process.
I wanna be young again
Reiteration of the desire to be young once again.
Build a time machine like my friend once said
Reiterating the idea of building a time machine.
And go back to the good old days
Emphasizing the desire to return to the past.
And fix my old mistakes
Continuing the goal of correcting past mistakes.
A time machine
The primary wish is for a functional time machine.
That’s all I ask
Pondering if the desire for a time machine is too ambitious.
Is that really to big of a task
Rhetorical question about the feasibility of the desire.
I wanna be young again
Reiteration of the desire to be young.
Build a time machine like my friend once said
Reiterating the idea of creating a time machine.
And go back to the good old days
Re-emphasizing the desire to return to the past.
And fix my old mistakes
Continuing the theme of wanting to correct past mistakes.
