Getting Closer
Chasing Shadows of Time: Liz Cooper's Spirited Journey
Lyrics
Like a photograph laughing
Expressing a moment captured like a photograph, filled with laughter.
Taping up the tears
Mending or repairing emotional wounds by metaphorically taping up tears.
Seeing my reflection in the wrinkles and the wear
Reflecting on one's image in the signs of aging, wrinkles, and wear on the skin.
All these years keep spinning swinging at the air but I keep missing and I keep wishing
Frustration with the passage of time, attempting to achieve goals but consistently missing and longing for something.
Getting closer and closer to never getting back
Repetition emphasizing the idea of approaching a point of no return, a sense of irreversibility.
Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer
-And the wheel is longing, wobbling to the glow
Describing the changing phases in life, symbolized by a wheel, freeze thawing, and fog lifting.
And the freeze is thawing, turning to the flow
-And the fog is lifting the fall of summer rain
-And I keep falling and I keep lifting
Experiencing a continuous cycle of falling and rising, possibly in the face of challenges or changes.
Getting closer and closer to never getting back
Reiteration of the theme of approaching a point of no return, emphasizing the inevitability of the journey.
Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer
-Well I find it I lose it
Expressing a cycle of finding, losing, tying, loosening, bending, straightening, loving, and hating, reflecting the complexities of life.
I tie it I loose it
-I bend it I straight it
-I love it I hate it
-Getting closer and closer to never getting back
Continued emphasis on the journey towards an irreversible point, with the repetition of "Getting closer."
Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer and closer to never getting back
-Getting closer
-I'm getting closer can you feel me coming
An assertion of the narrator's proximity, asking if others can sense their approach.
