Time on Our Own
Harvest of Time: Navigating Life's Meaning with Jackson Fields
Lyrics
Were we born too soon
Questioning if the timing of our birth was optimal
Too late for the harvest
Wondering if we missed opportunities or if they are yet to come
Just enough
Suggesting having just enough of something, possibly time
Time on our own
Desiring some time to be alone or independent
We could strip it bare
Consideration of the possibility of depleting resources or creativity
Starving the artist
Imagining a scenario where the artist is deprived or struggling
Nowhere to wander but home
Having limited options or destinations, finding solace in home
Are we catching up
Questioning if we are keeping pace with something or falling behind
Or lost in the meaning
Reflecting on whether we understand the true significance of things
Looking smart
Considering the act of appearing intelligent in a world where it's common
When everyone does
Reflecting on the saturation of being 'smart' when it's a common trait
Can a great idea
Questioning if a brilliant concept can wait for the right time
Wait for convenience
Contemplating if great ideas can be delayed for convenience
Who says these walls are enough
Challenging the notion that existing limitations are sufficient
All of my mirrors are rose
Seeing one's reflections through a positive, rosy lens
Tiny distractions at best
Acknowledging small diversions or disturbances as minor
I take pieces to ground me whenever I'm sold
Taking fragments or reminders to stay grounded during challenges
I'm amazed I have anything left
Expressing surprise at having anything remaining after difficulties
These are dangerous times
Highlighting the precarious nature of the current era for attractive individuals
For beautiful people
Suggesting that upheaval may result in a bleak, dark landscape
Stir up the land
Stirring up or causing disturbance in the environment
Til there's nothing but black
Anticipating a scenario where everything turns black or becomes negative
I'm a good hearted man
Claiming to be a good-hearted person despite uncertainties
But what does that leave
Questioning what remains when the mind loses clarity
When my mind goes, it's not coming back
Expressing the irreversibility of losing mental clarity
All of my mirrors are rose
Reiterating the positive, rosy perspective in self-reflection
Tiny distractions at best
Acknowledging minor distractions in the form of reflections
I take pieces to ground me whenever I'm sold
Using reminders or fragments to stay grounded during challenges
I'm amazed I have anything left
Expressing surprise at having anything left after facing difficulties
All of my mirrors are rose
Reiterating the positive, rosy perspective in self-reflection
Tiny distractions at best
Acknowledging minor distractions in the form of reflections
I take pieces to ground me whenever I'm sold
Using reminders or fragments to stay grounded during challenges
I'm amazed I have anything left
Expressing surprise at having anything left after facing difficulties
