Stopping Time
Chasing Eternity: Ivan Furber's Timeless Reflections
Lyrics
I race against that second hand that ticks away at my life
I am racing against the constant ticking of the second hand, symbolizing the passing of time in my life.
I do not need rest; I fear I'm just wasting time
I don't feel the need for rest, but I worry that I might be squandering valuable time.
Living at the speed of light or simply frozen in my darkest timeline?
Contemplating whether I am living life quickly (at the speed of light) or stuck in a difficult period (darkest timeline).
If only I could make it right, I'd go back now and fix my crimes
If given the chance, I would go back and correct the mistakes (crimes) I've made in the past.
Breathe
A call to pause and take a moment to breathe.
Feel the present
Encouragement to experience and be aware of the present moment.
As if it all just stopped
The desire for a moment of stillness, as if time has stopped.
Peace
Achieving a sense of inner calm and tranquility.
For a second
Finding peace, if only for a brief moment.
If I could freeze that clock
Expressing a wish to freeze time, capturing a specific moment indefinitely.
I live in the past, I fear the future; like this my years breeze by
Living in the past and fearing the future, leading to a perception of time passing quickly.
I have been miscast in the first act of my own life
Feeling misplaced or misunderstood in the early stages of one's life.
Take it as it is or fight this path I've chosen as I toe this fine line?
Choosing to accept life as it is or contemplating the option to resist the chosen path.
Keep on trying to rewrite or would I still be asking why?
Questioning whether continuous attempts to rewrite the past are worthwhile, or if the focus should be on understanding.
Breathe
A repetition of the call to breathe and be present.
Feel the present
Reiterating the importance of feeling the present as if time has come to a standstill.
As if it all just stopped
Seeking peace, even if temporary, in the midst of life's constant motion.
Peace
Emphasizing the desire for a moment of tranquility.
For a second
Finding peace for a fleeting second, if only the clock could be stopped.
If I could freeze that clock
Expressing the desire to freeze time once again.
Death, I cannot wait to be in free-fly
Awaiting death with eagerness to be liberated.
Leave it up to fate or place it in my hands
Contemplating whether fate or personal choices should determine the approach towards death.
Look, it's getting late, now can we stop time?
Expressing a wish to halt the progression of time as it seems to be running out.
Lost track of the date, let's ask the second hand
Realizing the lateness and seeking guidance from the second hand of the clock.
I wanna count the days down until I die
Counting down the days until death, expressing a desire to control the timing.
Before I show my age I'm gone, you understand?
Wanting to depart before aging becomes apparent, seeking understanding.
It could have been great, but only sometimes
Reflecting on missed opportunities and acknowledging that greatness was only achievable at certain times.
The timer at this rate is running out of sand
Highlighting the urgency of time, with the timer running out like sand slipping away.
Death, I cannot wait to be in free-fly
Reiteration of the anticipation of a liberating death.
Leave it up to fate or place it in my hands
Considering whether fate or personal control should determine the approach to death.
Look, it's getting late, now can we stop time?
Expressing a wish to stop time as it is getting late.
Lost track of the date, let's ask the second hand
Noting the loss of track of time and seeking guidance from the second hand.
I wanna count the days down until I die
Counting down the days until death once again, emphasizing a desire for control.
Before I show my age I'm gone, you understand?
Wanting to leave before showing signs of aging, seeking understanding.
It could have been great, but only sometimes
Reflecting on missed opportunities and acknowledging that greatness was only achievable at certain times (repetition of line 27).
The timer at this rate is running out of sand
Highlighting the urgency of time, with the timer running out like sand slipping away (repetition of line 28).
