Echoes of Change: Ferdinand the Bull's Journey Through Time and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
It would've been nice
Expressing a missed opportunity or regret about a past situation.
It could've been fine
Reflecting on the potential positive outcome that was not realized.
If I would've stayed back
Regretting a decision to move forward instead of staying in a certain place.
And didn't drive the line
Suggesting that driving a certain path or line led to undesirable consequences.
There was a time to call it off in fall
Identifying a specific time in the past when it was appropriate to end or conclude something.
I've been waiting on a sign too long
Expressing impatience or frustration with waiting for a sign or indication for too long.
After summers on the road these places feel so strange
Feeling out of place or unfamiliar after spending time on the road during summers.
It didn't take long to forget how things change
Noticing how quickly one can forget the changes that occur over time.
That time had left a mark on me
Highlighting the lasting impact that a particular period of time had on the individual.
Change repeats in all I see
Observing a recurring theme of change in everything the person sees.
But all I care
Emphasizing that the speaker's concern or focus is consistent throughout.
Is just the same for all I do
Stating that the speaker's care or attention remains the same regardless of actions.
The opposite of symmetry between us two
Describing a lack of balance or harmony in the relationship between the speaker and someone else.
You can't write songs about pawning off your soul
Rejecting the idea of creating art that involves sacrificing one's integrity or essence.
Like taking out your heart but feelin' whole
Contradicting the notion of feeling complete despite undergoing emotional pain.
A few more years alone wouldn't hurt so bad
Suggesting that spending more time alone would not be overly detrimental.
Go to the same old bars and never mention that
Imagining a scenario where familiar places and routines remain unchanged.
My time out there was short, it wasn't a surprise
Acknowledging the brief duration of the speaker's time in a particular situation.
Just let me sleep tonight and never wake my eyes
Expressing a desire for uninterrupted rest and avoidance of reality.
But all I care
Reiterating that the speaker's care or focus remains consistent in all actions.
Is just the same for all I do
Affirming that the speaker's concern or attention is unchanging.
