All the Time That's Passed
Echoes of Transformation in 'All the Time That's Passed'
Lyrics
I should have wasted away again
I regret not fading away completely
Not every word I will comprehend
I won't understand every word spoken
Soothe my broken skin
Comfort my wounded self
It’s been a bother for days
It's been troublesome for days
Thanks, my old friend
Expressing gratitude to an old friend
Oh you’ve been so honest
Acknowledging someone's honesty
You got yourself a moment
They have a moment for themselves
To turn into me now
Encouraging someone to transform into the speaker
To turn into me now
Repeated emphasis on the transformation
Tell me one more time how you saved me, it's been a while
Asking for a recount of how they saved the speaker
We couldn't even understand
Failure to comprehend something in the past
We were so young
Reflection on youthful ignorance
With all the time thats passed
Emphasis on the time that has elapsed
You should be pleased now
Suggesting contentment with the current state
With the kind of machine I've become
Describing oneself as a mechanical or detached entity
Oh this time
Reiterating the significance of the present moment
Okay
Confirmation or agreement
It's fine
Expressing acceptance or tolerance
We’re sitting in a room
Being in a place, anticipating something divine
Hoping for the divine
Acknowledging a past understanding of foolishness
You knew i was a fool
Admitting to always being without what is needed
Always empty handed
Referring to a perceived type of man
Type of man I presume
Words staying constant, while love remains unchanged
And the words they stay the same
Repetition emphasizing the stability of love
As my love will never change
Repeated affirmation of love's consistency
Never change
Reiterating the unchanging nature of the speaker
Tell me one more time how you saved me, it's been a while
Repeating the request to recount the act of saving
We couldn't even understand
Recalling a lack of understanding in the past
We were so young
Reflecting on youthful naivety
With all the time thats passed
Emphasizing the time that has passed
You should be pleased now
Suggesting contentment with the present state
With the kind of machine I've become
Describing oneself as a mechanical or detached entity
Oh this time
Reiterating the significance of the present moment
