Lyrics

People keep talking

People around are gossiping or discussing.

But I can't hear a word they say

The speaker is emotionally detached or overwhelmed, unable to focus on external conversations.

Life just keeps moving

Life is in constant motion.

The world gets stranger every day

The world is becoming more unfamiliar or challenging each day.


And, yeah, "Time is on your side"

People advise that time is on the speaker's side.

That's what people tell you

This could be a common saying, possibly meant to offer comfort or encouragement.

But I got to let you go

The speaker acknowledges the advice but has to let someone go.


My head is saying that this is for the better

The speaker's rational mind understands that the separation is for the best.

I just want you to know

The speaker wants the other person to be aware of their internal struggle.

I can't hold on forever

The speaker cannot hold on indefinitely.

When all I wanna do is let go

The desire to release and move on is strong.

All I wanna do is let go

Reiteration of the longing to let go.


Sirens are screaming

Emergency sounds are ignored or unheard.

But I can't hear a single sound

The emotional state makes it difficult to perceive external stimuli.

And I'm feeling uneasy

A sense of discomfort or unrest prevails.

And I wait, and I wait for a change to come around

Waiting for a positive change to happen.


I get the feeling that this is for the better

A feeling that the current situation is an improvement.

And I just want you to know

Communication of the speaker's struggle to hold on.

I can't hold on forever

The speaker cannot maintain the struggle indefinitely.

When all I wanna do is let go (Yeah)

Reiteration of the strong desire to let go.

All I wanna do is let go

Expressing the singular focus on wanting to release.


Are you searching for an answer

Questioning if someone is seeking answers or inner peace.

Or just peace of mind?

Wondering about the purpose behind the search for answers or peace of mind.

When your life has lost its meaning

When life feels meaningless, perhaps taking time is necessary.

Maybe you need a little time

Suggesting that time might be a remedy for the loss of meaning in life.


Are you searching for an answer

Duplicating the earlier question about seeking answers or peace.

Or just peace of mind?

Restating the ambiguity around the purpose of the search.

When your life has lost its meaning

Reiteration of the need for time when life lacks meaning.

Maybe you need a little time

Suggesting that taking time might be a solution.
