A Time
Unveiling the Empowering Journey: A Time by Kaylee Flores
Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past period
I couldn't figure it out
Difficulty understanding
There was a time
Feeling unable to express oneself
I didn't think I could shout
Sense of inhibition or suppression
There was a time
Lack of concern for significance
I didn't care what it meant
Disregard for meaning or consequence
There was a time there was a time there was a time
Repetition emphasizing past times
But now it's spent
That time is now over
There was a time
Ignorance about one's capabilities
I didn't know I could use my voice
Realization of using one's voice
There was a time
Discovering the power of choice
I didn't know I had the choice
Confusion or uncertainty
There was a time
Repetition indicating past confusion
I didn't know what to do
Despite confusion, new memories are formed
There was a time there was a time there was a time
Continuation of reminiscing
But the memories are new
New experiences creating memories
In your mind
Questioning someone's belief
Do you really truly believe
Challenging the depth of understanding
You know who I am
Uncertainty about recognition
In your mind
Questioning another's comprehension
Do you really truly believe
Challenging assumptions about experiences
You know what I've been through
Questioning the authority to understand
And even if you do
Doubting someone's understanding
Who the hell gave you the right
Questioning the right to perceive feelings
To believe you know how I feel
Challenging another's claim of empathy
Do you really think you know me better than I
Questioning someone's knowledge of oneself
There was a time
Past inclination towards caring
I would've actually cared
Previous sensitivity due to fear
There was a time
Earlier time of caring
But back then I was scared
Fear as a hindrance in the past
There was a time
Time when opinions mattered
That your opinion mattered
Recognition of past significance
There was a time there was a time there was a time
Reiteration of past importance
But that clock has been shattered
That time's importance is now broken
In your mind
Questioning someone's perception
Do you really truly believe
Challenging another's understanding
You know who I am
Uncertainty about being recognized
In your mind
Questioning another's comprehension
Do you really truly believe
Challenging assumptions about experiences
You know what I've been through
Questioning the authority to understand
And even if you do
Doubting someone's understanding
Who the hell gave you the right
Questioning the right to perceive feelings
To believe you know how I feel
Challenging another's claim of empathy
Do you really think you know me better than I
Questioning someone's knowledge of oneself
Ohh
Reiteration of not being understood or owned
Ohh
-Ohh
-Ohh
-Ahh
-Haha
-Ohh
-Ohh
-In your mind
-Do you really truly believe
-You know who I am
-In your mind
-Do you really truly believe
-You know what I've been through
-And even if you do
-Who the hell gave you the right
-To believe you know how I feel
-Do you really think you know me better than I
-Do you really think you know me better than I
-You don't know me
-You don't know me
-You don't own me
-Cause you don't know
Final assertion of not being known or controlled
