Time
Exploring Life's Passage Through Time
Lyrics
Some people run
Some people are proactive and take action
Some people crawl
Some people move slowly and cautiously
Some people don't even
Some people are inert, not making any effort
Move at all
Some people remain stagnant, not moving at all
Some roads lead home
Some paths lead to a sense of belonging or comfort
Some roads lead back
Some paths lead back to familiar places or situations
Some roads are paved in white
Some paths are smooth and positive
Some wrapped in filthy black
Some paths are difficult and tainted
Time, oh time
Reflection on the nature and passage of time
Where do you go?
Questioning the destination or purpose of time
Time, oh good, good time
Positive acknowledgment of time
Where did you go?
Expressing uncertainty about the whereabouts of good times
Some people never care
Some people are indifferent or apathetic
Some never can
Some are unable to care or empathize
Some people never die
Reflection on mortality, acknowledging those who live forever
And some never live
Some people exist but don't truly experience life
Some folks treat me mean
Experiencing mistreatment from some individuals
Some treat me kind
Experiencing kindness from some individuals
Most folks just go their way
Most people continue on their own paths without paying attention
Don't pay me any mind
Being ignored or overlooked by most people
Time, oh time
Reiteration of the question about the destination of time
Where do you go?
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the whereabouts of time
Time, oh, good, good time
Positive reminiscence about good times
Where did you go?
Expressing uncertainty about where those good times have gone
Sometimes I'm satisfied
Expressing contentment at times
Sometimes I'm not
Admitting dissatisfaction at times
Sometime my soul is cold
Reflecting on emotional fluctuations, from cold to hot
Sometimes it's hot
Expressing the unpredictability of one's soul
Sunset I laugh
Laughing during sunset, possibly at life's ironies
Sunrise I cry
Crying at sunrise, symbolizing vulnerability or new beginnings
At midnight, I'm in-between
Feeling in-between and pondering existential questions at midnight
And wondering why
Questioning the purpose or reason for this in-between state
Time, oh time
Reiteration of the question about the destination of time
Where do you go?
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the whereabouts of time
Time, oh good, good time
Positive acknowledgment of good times
Where did you go?
Expressing uncertainty about where those good times have gone
