Time Doesn't Work
Time's Elusive Embrace: Unraveling the Enigma in Holly Miranda's Melody
Lyrics
Don't know which one feels worse
Expressing uncertainty about which situation is more distressing.
Being here or knowing how
Contemplating the emotional difficulty of being present or having knowledge.
Can't believe it's true that I've no clue what you are up to now and
Expressing disbelief about not knowing the current actions or state of someone.
If I could go back in time then you'd know better
Desiring the ability to go back in time to improve understanding.
I'd have made more sure that you knew I cared you were fine
Regretting not expressing care more explicitly in the past.
But time doesn't work for me
Reflecting on the limitations of time, suggesting a difficulty in altering the past.
Or you'd know better
Reiterating the idea that time poses challenges in understanding and communication.
Time doesn't work for me
Emphasizing the theme that time is not conducive to effective communication or connection.
I've been chasing you through a dream all along
Expressing the experience of pursuing someone through dreams, possibly metaphorical.
Can't remember half of what I though I knew
Acknowledging a lack of memory and the realization that prior beliefs were incorrect.
The rest was wrong Oooh
Adding an emotional element with an "Oooh" and reinforcing past misconceptions.
If I could go back in time then you'd know better
Reiterating the desire to change the past for better understanding and care.
I'd have made more sure that you knew I cared you were fine
Repeating the regret for not expressing care more effectively in the past.
But time doesn't work for me
Reemphasizing the idea that time is a hindrance in making things right.
Or you'd know better
Continuing the theme that time complicates understanding and communication.
Time doesn't work for me
Affirming the persistent challenge posed by time in relationships.
No it's no fair that when I'm next to you
Expressing frustration about the unfairness of forgetting what to do when near someone.
I just can't remember what on earth I'm meant to do
Highlighting the impact of being next to someone, leading to forgetfulness.
And time slips away you see
Stressing the passage of time and its elusive nature.
No time doesn't work for me
Reaffirming the idea that time is not cooperative or favorable.
