Long Long Time
Eternal Shadows: Finding Meaning in Life's Storms
Lyrics
Sometimes it never rains
Sometimes life doesn't present challenges or difficulties.
It can't rain all the time
No hardship or difficulty lasts forever.
And if I seem to make no sense
Occasionally, my thoughts or actions may not be understandable.
I make no sense sometimes
I might act in ways that don't seem logical or coherent.
Sometimes it never shines
There are moments when life lacks brightness or positivity.
It can't shine all the time
Positivity or joy isn't constant; it fluctuates.
And I can't speak through one more scene
I'm unable to express myself clearly in certain situations.
I can't talk all the time
Continuous communication isn't always possible or feasible.
There's a promise in your mouth
There's a significant commitment or statement made.
Is that what this was all about?
Is the purpose or meaning behind this situation?
We've got to suck it in and shout
We need to accept and express our emotions strongly.
It's been a long long time
A considerable amount of time has passed.
Sometimes I never talk
At times, I choose not to communicate verbally.
I can't talk all the time
I refrain from talking consistently.
And I can't see to find my feet
I struggle to find stability or balance in life.
I can't sleep all the time
Sleep eludes me often.
You've got to stop before you talk
Think before speaking, as everything might have been said.
Because it's all been said before
Words might not hold much novelty or impact.
You can't stop knocking down my door
Someone persistently seeks entry into my life.
It's been a long long long long time
A significant duration of time has passed, emphasizing the length.
Sunday's child will fall from grace
A person facing hardship will lose favor or fortune.
And heaven holds the hands that pray
Even those who pray or seek solace may face difficulties.
There's nothing here for me to say
There's nothing I feel compelled to say in this situation.
With my name upon your face
My identity or impact is visible on your expressions.
There's no one counting down these days
No one is keeping track of time anymore.
There's no one here to hear you say
No one is present to acknowledge your words.
It's been a long long long long time
Emphasizing the extensive duration that has passed.
Sometimes it never rains
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of difficulties.
It can't rain all the time
A reminder that challenges are temporary.
And if I seem to make no sense
Reiteration of the occasional lack of coherence.
I make no sense sometimes
Admitting occasional confusion or lack of sense.
Sometimes it never shines
Reiteration of the fluctuating nature of positivity.
It can't shine all the time
No situation remains positive indefinitely.
And I can't speak through one more scene
Continued difficulty in expressing oneself.
I can't talk all the time
Continued struggle with continuous communication.
There's a promise in your mouth
A significant commitment or statement is reiterated.
Is that what this was all about?
Questioning the underlying purpose or intent of a situation.
We've got to suck it in and shout
Strongly emphasize the need to express emotions.
It's been a long long time
Emphasizing the prolonged passage of time.
You've got to stop before you talk
Emphasizing the importance of thinking before speaking.
Because it's all been said before
Words may lack originality or impact due to repetition.
You can't stop knocking down my door
Someone persistently seeks entry into my life (repeated).
It's been a long long long long time
Emphasizing the lengthy duration that has passed (repeated).
Sometimes it never rains
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of difficulties (repeated).
It can't rain all the time
Reiteration that challenges are not permanent (repeated).
