Time
Fear, Time, and Loss: Reflecting on Existence
Lyrics
They said I should not be so scared
Expressing advice or opinions received about fear and being scared.
All the time
Emphasizing a persistent state of fear or anxiety.
But what if being afraid
Contemplating the nature of fear.
Is the awareness of the fact
Suggesting that fear arises from the realization that everything is vulnerable and can be lost.
That everything could be lost?
Exploring the existential fear of potential loss.
I never understood time
Confessing a lack of understanding regarding the concept of time.
They all are talking about time
Observing others discussing and engaging with the concept of time.
Spending it, hunting it
Highlighting various ways people interact with time, including spending and hunting.
Running to get where you should have already been
Reflecting on the struggle to catch up with where one should be in life.
One year ago, even two years ago
Pointing to a specific time frame in the past where one should have accomplished something.
A long time ago
Indicating a distant past, possibly emphasizing the irretrievability of time.
You said I should not drag myself
Recalling advice not to dwell too deeply in darkness or negativity.
Too deep down in the dark
Suggesting a warning against sinking too far into negative emotions or situations.
But what if resting
Considering the potential benefits of resting in the darkness.
Just a bit in that dark
Positing that such rest may bring awareness.
Gives the awareness?
Questioning the consequences of acknowledging potential loss during moments of darkness.
That all might just be lost
Suggesting that inactivity or rest might lead to the realization that everything could be lost.
That all might just be gone
Reinforcing the idea that inactivity or rest may result in irreversible loss.
That everything will be so lost
Expressing the fear that everything will be lost.
They said I should not be so scared
Reiterating the advice received about being scared.
All the time
Reinforcing the persistent state of fear or anxiety.
But now that you are gone
Noting a change in advice or attention after someone's departure.
They don't tell me that anymore
Indicating a shift in the way others perceive and address fear in the absence of someone.
Cause all might just be lost
Reiterating the fear of potential loss in the absence of the person.
Everything will be
Concluding with a bleak outlook on the possibility of losing everything.
