No Time Has Passed
Timeless Redemption: A Tale of Choices and Redemption in Donovan Woods' 'No Time Has Passed'
Lyrics
How we gonna get there baby
Contemplating the journey ahead and the challenges faced.
No one's getting shot today
Expressing a desire for a peaceful resolution, avoiding violence.
I was in the streets then darling
Reflecting on a past time spent in the streets.
Running down the alleyway
Recalling a moment of running through an alley.
I was gonna nurse that thing home
Intention to care for something valuable and bring it home.
He was gonna shoot his friend
Someone else considering harming a friend.
I was gonna step in baby
Personal commitment to intervene in the situation.
Never stepping in again
Decision to avoid getting involved in such situations again.
What if there was no one out there
Pondering the absence of external help or support.
What if it was me and him
Imagining a scenario where only two individuals face a challenge.
I was holding two old buckets
Carrying two buckets filled with water to the brim.
Water filled them to the brim
Symbolizing a sense of abundance or fullness in readiness.
He was just a drunken outlaw
Describing one person as a drunken outlaw.
I was just a stable hand
Characterizing oneself as a stable hand, indicating a humble role.
If I was gonna step in baby
Reiterating the intention to intervene in difficult situations.
I needed to be twice the man
Acknowledging the need to be strong and assertive in intervention.
Gunshots sound
Describing the sound of gunshots in a harsh urban environment.
Over hardened city ground
Reflecting on the tough and unyielding nature of the city.
And when you come I call
Awaiting someone's arrival and calling out to them.
Like no time has passed at all
Emphasizing the feeling that no time has passed when reuniting.
And this town will never change
Suggesting the town's resistance to change over time.
Home sweet home the brave
Referring to the town as a brave and enduring home.
Where horses sleep in stalls
Depicting a scene where horses peacefully rest in stalls.
Like no time has passed at all
Highlighting the sense of continuity and familiarity.
How we gonna get there baby
Repeating the contemplation of the journey and potential danger.
No one's getting shot today
Reiterating the desire for a violence-free resolution.
I was in the streets then darling
Recalling past experiences in the streets with a loved one.
You were in the alley way
Specifying the location of the loved one in an alleyway.
I was gonna nurse that thing home
Expressing the intention to care for something valuable again.
He was gonna shoot his friend
Reiterating the potential harm planned by someone else.
I was gonna step in baby
Reaffirming the commitment to intervene in difficult situations.
But I didn't want to condescend
Explaining the reluctance to intervene out of condescension.
