In Our Own Time
Embers of Resilience: Lindsey Buckingham's Timeless Journey
Lyrics
Fire still burning, but in a while she'll make it rain
Despite challenges, a passionate spark endures, with the expectation of a positive change soon.
These rooms are all falling down, they couldn't stand the strain
Structures or relationships are collapsing under pressure and couldn't withstand the strain.
I had the same old dream, she was hiding outside my door
The narrator had a recurring dream of someone significant who used to visit but has stopped.
She used to come from time to time but not any more
A person, once a frequent visitor, no longer comes around.
Still in my mind
The memory or presence of the person lingers in the narrator's thoughts.
Still in my mind
-Wouldn't make any difference
Crossing a line in a relationship, and it won't make a difference anymore.
We crossed that line
-From the fire we will rise again
Despite challenges ("fire"), there is confidence in overcoming difficulties and rising again, but it takes time.
In our own time
-Seasons turning, but in a while she'll make it snow
The changing seasons symbolize the passing of time, and there's an expectation of a change ("make it snow").
But this time I think she's gone for good but I never really know
The narrator believes the person is gone for good, but uncertainty remains.
Nothing here remains, just a vision of her face
Nothing tangible remains, only a memory of the person's face.
The implications of a crime, it always takes her place
The consequences of a past mistake or crime continue to affect the narrator.
Still in my mind
The persistent presence of the person in the narrator's thoughts.
Still in my mind
-Wouldn't make any difference
Reiterating that crossing a line in the relationship won't make any difference.
We crossed that line
-From the fire we will rise again
From the challenges ("fire"), there is an expectation of rising again, but it happens in its own time.
In our own time
-It wouldn't make any difference
Emphasizing that crossing the line won't change the outcome.
We crossed the line
-From the fire we were rocking
Reflecting on the past ("fire") and how they were rocking or thriving in their own time.
In our own time
-In our own time
The phrase "In our own time" is repeated, underscoring the theme of patience and waiting for positive changes.
In our own time
