Welcome Home
Finding Timeless Moments: Gabriel Loynaz's Welcome Home
Lyrics
Dear little willow
Addressing someone as "Dear little willow."
Welcome home
Extending a welcome home to the addressee.
You probably don't know me
Acknowledging that the addressee may not be familiar with the speaker.
But you're not alone
Assuring the addressee that they are not alone.
Life moves faster
Highlighting the faster pace of life compared to the past.
Than it used to a long time ago
Comparing the speed of life now to how it used to be a long time ago.
But if you look closer
Suggesting that by observing closely, one can perceive things that slow down time.
In things that are smaller
Implying that finding beauty or significance in small things can make time feel slower.
Time will slow down
Emphasizing that time seems to slow down when paying attention to small details.
When you grow up
As one matures, they start understanding the flow of life.
Start to know how life goes on
Life continues despite growing up, but it becomes more understandable.
But if you look up
Suggesting to look upwards for guidance or inspiration.
You'll never fall the same way
Implying that seeking higher perspectives can prevent experiencing similar hardships.
Are you keeping all
Questioning if the addressee is preserving memories in a container, metaphorically.
The memories in a jar
Acknowledging the act of storing memories while being aware they might be discarded someday.
Knowing that someday
Recognizing the inevitability of letting go of stored memories at some point.
You're gonna throw it all away
Acceptance that eventually, all preserved memories might be discarded.
When you grow up
Reiterating the understanding that life progresses as one grows older.
Start to know how life goes on
Reflecting on the continuation of life's journey despite gaining experience.
But if you look up
Encouraging to seek guidance from higher perspectives to avoid repeating past mistakes.
You'll never fall the same way
Emphasizing that seeking higher guidance prevents reliving past difficulties.
Again
Concluding with the idea that seeking guidance can prevent repeating the same mistakes.
That's what they said
Reinforcing the preceding message, indicating that this advice has been conveyed before.
