Petrified Forest
Time's Petrified Echo: Love Weathering Life's Storms
Lyrics
We rode our youth like a ferris wheel
We experienced our youthful days with ups and downs, much like riding a ferris wheel.
Me fallin' head first and you at my heels
I made impulsive decisions while you followed closely behind me.
Until, until
Repetition for emphasis or a pause without specific content.
Time blew in, an unwelcome squall
A metaphor for a difficult period arrived, disrupting our lives.
Now we're watching all our big trees fall down
We are witnessing the collapse or destruction of significant aspects of our lives.
We are a petrified forest
We are stuck or paralyzed in our current state, unable to progress.
We are frozen, it's clear
Our stagnation or paralysis is evident and undeniable.
Oh, we are a petrified forest
Repeated assertion of our immobilized state.
Don't take anything but a memory from here
We can only retain memories as everything else fades or falls away.
We've grown old while our trees grew tall
We've aged while the things around us, like trees, have grown.
I was your everything and you were all I needed
I fulfilled all your needs, and you were my sole requirement.
Then time blew in an unwelcome squall
Reiteration of the arrival of a challenging phase in our lives.
Now we're watching all our big trees fall down
We are witnessing the collapse or destruction of significant aspects of our lives (repeated).
We are a petrified forest
Restatement of being stuck or paralyzed in our current state.
We are frozen, it's clear
Reiteration of our stagnation or paralysis.
Oh, we are a petrified forest
Repeated assertion of being stuck and only retaining memories.
Don't take anything but a memory from here
We can only hold onto memories; everything else is transient.
