Forest Gold
Chasing Time Through Forest Gold
Lyrics
Winding
Feeling a sense of winding or twisting, possibly metaphorical for life's journey.
Forest canopy above me
Surrounded by the overhead forest, symbolizing nature and the environment.
Driving
Driving, indicating movement or progression in life.
Trying to catch the sunlight on my skin
Attempting to embrace the sunlight, a metaphor for positivity or enlightenment.
Golden drops slipping through my fingertips
Golden drops slipping away, akin to fleeting moments or opportunities.
Like memories I can't quite recall
Memories that are elusive, challenging to recall or define.
Were they ever really real at all
Raising doubts about the reality of past experiences.
Time won't stand still
Highlighting the inevitability of time's continuous flow.
And oh I
Expressing a personal realization or reflection.
I was afraid of this
Fear of the passage of time and its impact.
That it'd all go by too quick
Concern about life passing too quickly.
How do I keep up with changes
A challenge in keeping pace with life's changes.
But I can see the sunlight
Despite challenges, still able to perceive positive aspects.
I still see the sunlight
Recalling and acknowledging the enduring presence of sunlight.
I can see the sunlight
A reaffirmation of perceiving positive elements in life.
Still going up and down
Life's continuous ups and downs, like a fluctuating journey.
Still going up and down
Emphasizing the recurring cycles of life.
And oh I
A repetition of the realization about the passage of time.
Maybe I just didn't notice it
A possibility of not noticing significant changes.
The subtle change of color in the trees
Observing subtle shifts, possibly personal growth or transformation.
When orange envelopes green
Describing the changing seasons and their impact.
Over and over again
Repetition of seasonal changes, underlining their cyclical nature.
Another whole year gone
A reflection on the passage of a complete year.
Am I who I wanted to be
Questioning personal identity and fulfillment.
When I was 17 and thinking 'bout my future
Comparing the present self to aspirations at age 17.
Would I make her proud of me
Yearning for approval from one's past self or a significant person.
And oh I
Reiteration of personal reflections and fears about time.
I was afraid of this
Expressing anxiety about the rapid pace of life.
That it'd all go by too quick
Repeating the fear of life passing too quickly.
How do I keep up with changes
The ongoing struggle to cope with life's changes.
But I can see the sunlight
Despite challenges, still able to perceive positive aspects.
I still see the sunlight
Recalling and acknowledging the enduring presence of sunlight.
I can see the sunlight
A reaffirmation of perceiving positive elements in life.
Still going up and down
Life's continuous ups and downs, like a fluctuating journey.
But I can see the sunlight
Repeating the ability to see the positive aspects despite challenges.
I still see the sunlight
Reiterating the enduring presence of sunlight in one's perception.
I can see the sunlight
A reaffirmation of perceiving positive elements in life.
Still going up and down
Life's continuous ups and downs, like a fluctuating journey.
