Time's Dance: A Journey Through Changing Tides
Lyrics
Way back then in 2009
Reflecting on the past, specifically the year 2009.
Where everything was simple and falling in line
Nostalgia for a simpler time when everything fell into place.
Never could I have comprehended
Expressing an inability to understand or foresee certain events.
I don’t how it started, but I know how it ended
Uncertainty about the beginning but certainty about the end of a situation.
10 years later and things have changed
Observing significant changes over the course of 10 years.
Everything shuffled and rearranged
Highlighting the upheaval and reorganization of everything.
Don't go outside things are pale
Advising against going outside due to a somber atmosphere.
Dehydrated everything's stale
Describing a state of stagnation and dullness.
But I miss you and you miss me
Expressing mutual longing despite a great distance.
Too great a distance we can't see
Acknowledging the distance that hinders perception.
Here's the wall, and here's the fist
Introducing conflict with the metaphor of a wall and a fist.
The great white whale that I missed
Referring to a missed opportunity or a significant person.
The hourglass is running low
Signifying the limited time available using an hourglass.
Leaking time by always running from the present - mourning every second
Describing a habit of avoiding the present, leading to regret.
What is left? You’ll never know
Pondering on the uncertainty of what remains after such avoidance.
All you know is that you feel it getting lighter - feel it getting lighter
Noting a feeling of lightness as a consequence of aging.
Now that I'm older, probably not wiser
Acknowledging aging without necessarily gaining wisdom.
I'm not gonna turn into some kind of miser
Rejecting the idea of becoming miserly with age.
Enjoying the trip along the way
Embracing the journey and finding joy in the process.
Life is boring if there's never a change
Stating the importance of change for a fulfilling life.
Living fast so things are faded
Living a fast-paced life with blurred experiences.
More than once is overrated
Emphasizing that repetition is less valuable.
No matter what it end up jaded
Expecting challenges but recognizing the risk of becoming cynical.
Once was happy now I'm elated
Contrasting past happiness with current elation.
The hourglass is running low
Reiterating the limited time symbolized by the hourglass.
Leaking time by always running from the present - mourning every second
Repeating the theme of avoiding the present and mourning lost time.
What is left? You’ll never know
Reiterating the uncertainty of what remains after such avoidance.
All you know is that you feel it getting lighter - feel it getting lighter
Reinforcing the sensation of lightness associated with aging.
