Rome
Journey Through Time: Lasse Matthiessen's Reflective Melody
Lyrics
See myself by the table at the square
Reflecting on oneself at a table in the square
the sound of coins in the fountain I’m there
Auditory imagery of coins in a fountain, recalling a specific moment
I didn’t know
Expressing a lack of knowledge or awareness
didn’t know
Repetition emphasizing the lack of awareness
I didn’t know
Continued emphasis on not knowing
(that) time
Realization about the swift passage of time
passes at such a fast pace
Commenting on the rapid pace of time
I’m coming back to me
Returning to self-awareness
carefully back to me
Doing so carefully and consciously
I’m coming back to me
Reiteration of the process of self-discovery
carefully back to me
Emphasizing the careful nature of self-reflection
oh
An exclamation, possibly expressing emotion
oh
Repetition of the exclamation
There’s a rave deep down in the catacombs
Introduction of a rave in the catacombs, a metaphorical setting
Kaleidoscope lights over broken bones
Continuation of the vivid imagery
I carry on, carry on, carry on,
Resolve to carry on despite challenges
somehow somewhere among
Placement among burned stones, suggesting adversity
burned stones
Repetition of the theme among burned stones
somehow somewhere among
Continued emphasis on resilience amidst difficulties
burned stones
Reiteration of the presence among burned stones
I’m coming back to me
Repeating the process of returning to self-awareness
carefully back to me
Emphasizing the careful and deliberate nature of the return
I’m coming back to me
Reiteration of the return to oneself
carefully back to me
Continued emphasis on the careful return to self
oh
Repetition of the exclamation, possibly emotional
oh
Reiteration of the emotional exclamation
