It's Just Late
Time's Bittersweet Dance: Gus Thompson's Reflection on Lost Moments
Lyrics
Time is a grand illusion
Time is a concept that appears significant but may not hold true value.
When I can't remember my day
Memory loss prevents recalling the events of the day, contributing to confusion.
Lost and left in confusion
Feeling lost and confused after an unspecified event or change.
Why did it end up this way
Reflecting on how things turned out and questioning the reasons behind it.
Maybe there's a reason
Considering the possibility of a purpose or explanation for the situation.
Maybe it's just late
Suggesting that the realization or understanding may come, but it's delayed.
The aching change of seasons
Expressing the emotional impact of changing seasons, possibly symbolizing change.
Oh how I'm missing your taste
Longing for the sensory experience and presence of someone significant.
And I died
An emotional or metaphorical death, possibly linked to the events being described.
When you looked in my eyes
An intense moment when the other person looked into the speaker's eyes.
Burned into my mind
The impact of the gaze etched deeply into the speaker's memory.
Wish that I could rewind
Expressing a desire to go back in time and change the course of events.
Time
Repetition of "Time" emphasizes its significance and passage.
Time
Reiteration of the theme of time passing by.
Passing by
Highlighting the swift passage of time and its impact.
Now that you
A acknowledgment of the person leaving or moving on.
Left me
The emotional aftermath of being left behind.
Behind
A sense of abandonment and the emotional weight of the situation.
I didn't get things right
Admitting to mistakes and regrets about not handling things correctly.
And now it's all stuck in my head
The thoughts and emotions lingering persistently in the speaker's mind.
As soon as you left my sight
Expressing a desire for the other person to have heard and understood.
I wish you had heard what I said
A wish for better communication and understanding before separation.
I gave up on the reasons
Abandoning reasons and hate, possibly for the sake of moving forward.
gave up on the hate
The recurrence of changing seasons triggers memories associated with the person.
But now the changing seasons
A reflection on the impact of seasons and their association with the person.
Remind me of your taste
Reiteration of the connection between seasons and the person's presence.
And I died
A repetition of the emotional or metaphorical death upon being looked at.
When you looked in my eyes
The enduring impact of the gaze engraved in the speaker's mind.
Burned into my mind
Expressing a desire to go back in time, echoing earlier sentiments.
Wish that I could rewind
Repetition of the theme of time and the wish for a chance to reverse events.
Time
Reiteration of the overarching theme of time and its passage.
Time
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
Passing by
Reflecting on the swift passage of time, possibly with a sense of regret.
Now that you
A acknowledgment of the person leaving or moving on, echoing earlier lines.
Left me
The emotional aftermath of being left behind, echoing earlier sentiments.
Behind
A repetition of the sense of abandonment and the emotional weight of the situation.
