Turn Back Time
Chasing Memories: Flight of Ulysses' Timeless Quest
Lyrics
On that seven-speed life
Expressing a fast-paced, dynamic life.
Ain't looking for a lover, just want to feel those vibes
Not seeking a romantic relationship, but desiring positive experiences.
Of that summer
Nostalgic reference to a past summer.
Of that summer
Repetition emphasizing the significance of that particular summer.
Look at me mama I'm the happiest I've ever been
Proud declaration of happiness.
Somehow I've forgotten all about her again
Putting the past behind, moving on from a previous relationship.
Every time that I use my bad humor I try to fake it, it's a mascarade (uh-huh)
Using humor to mask negative emotions, possibly a facade.
Don't tell me to look to the future
Resistance to being advised about the future.
Don't tell me to plan (it's a rumor that)
Rejecting the idea of planning as a mere rumor.
We need to know what's in store in life
Questioning the need to predict life's course.
All I need to know is just what I like ('cause)
Focusing on personal preferences over external advice.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Expressing the impossibility of reversing time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Yearning to revisit a specific enjoyable experience.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Repeating the desire to relive a past moment.
Years ago there were so many things I wish that I had known
Regret over lack of knowledge in the past.
About love, about strife
Reflecting on lessons about love and challenges.
Our memories are luxuries (yeah, yeah)
Considering memories as valuable possessions.
We've only got this century (oh, oh)
Highlighting the limited timeframe of life.
'Cause
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of time.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Repeating the impossibility of turning back time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Reiterating the desire to revisit a past experience.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Emphasizing the irreversibility of time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Expressing the desire to relive a specific enjoyable experience.
Look at yourself
Encouraging self-reflection.
You've got to feel it, you've got to look inside
Stressing the importance of introspection.
Would you look at yourself
Challenging oneself to self-examine.
You'll only know it when you finally show it
Understanding oneself by revealing true emotions.
Look at me mama I'm the happiest I've ever been
Repeating the declaration of current happiness.
Somehow I've forgotten all about her again
Recalling forgetfulness about a past relationship.
Every time that I use my bad humor I try to fake it, it's a mascarade (uh-huh)
Humorous coping mechanism, possibly a facade.
Don't tell me to look to the future
Rejecting advice to focus on the future.
Don't tell me to plan (it's a rumor that)
Dismissing planning as a mere rumor.
We need to know what's in store in life
Questioning the necessity of knowing life's future.
All I need to know is just what I like ('cause)
Emphasizing the importance of personal preferences.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Reiteration of the impossibility of turning back time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Repeating the desire to revisit a past experience.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Reiterating the irreversible nature of time.
Oh take me back, take me on that ride
Expressing the desire to relive a specific enjoyable experience.
I'll never be able to turn back time
Stressing the impossibility of turning back time.
Woah take me back, take me on that ride
Expressing the desire to revisit a past experience.
And I'll never be able to turn back time
Reiteration of the impossibility of turning back time.
Woah take me back, take me on that ride
Expressing the desire to revisit a past experience.
Woah-oh take me back, take me on that ride
Reiteration of the desire to revisit a past experience.
Woah-oh, take me back, take me on that ride
Final plea to relive a specific enjoyable experience.
