Goodbye II
Time's Echo: Embracing Life's Choices and Second Chances
Lyrics
Once you were young
Reflecting on a past time of youth
Now you are old
Observing the transition into old age
Once had a heart
Previously possessed emotions or compassion
Once had a soul
Previously had a sense of identity or spirit
Once you dressed up
Formerly paid attention to appearance
Now you don’t care
No longer concerned with appearance or presentation
Once you did dream
Had aspirations or ambitions
It brought you here
Those aspirations led to the current situation
Once made a choice
Once made a decision or commitment
Now it’s too late
Feeling that it's now too late to change
Every regret
Reflecting on past mistakes and guilt
Every mistake
Regretting actions taken
You can not change
Unable to alter the present state
What you’ve become
Accepting the current identity
But you’ll get it right,
Hope for improvement in the future
the next time around
Belief in a chance for redemption or correction
The table is laid
Setting the scene for a certain event or situation
The motion is set
A process or plan is underway
That same old clip
Repetitive thoughts or memories
on repeat in your head
Continuous mental playback of a certain memory or experience
A stalker, a friend
Someone who follows persistently or a close companion
A constant ally
A consistent support or companion
Never alone
Never feeling isolated or without company
