Past Life
Echoes of Time: Navigating Life's Struggles in Lowswimmer's 'Past Life'
Lyrics
It gets you bad
Feeling deeply affected or troubled
It gets you to pine for what you felt
Inducing a longing for past emotions or experiences
Summer fell left a new line across my brow
Symbolizing the passage of time, with summer's end leaving a visible mark
Can't you tell?
Expressing a desire for understanding or recognition
Been circling signs along the belt
Repeatedly encountering signs or signals, possibly searching for direction
Me as well?
Pondering if others share a similar experience or feeling
Auditioning time to call myself out
Evaluating oneself, considering a moment for self-reflection
It pulls me aside
Being confronted by something that diverts attention or prompts self-awareness
Tells me that I'm a coward too
Accused of being a coward, facing a challenging path
A steeper incline to what I had
Encountering a more difficult situation than before
It'll take a long while yet
Anticipating a prolonged period before returning to happiness
Before I was happy too
Reflecting on a past state of contentment
But I'm giving it time to kill it'self
Allowing time for a destructive force to subside
I guess it's sad
Acknowledging a sense of melancholy or sorrow
It settled in stripes along my chest
Describing the visible impact of a negative influence on the speaker's emotions
What's next?
Pondering what comes next in life
Live a long life, be someone else's
Considering the possibility of living a long life and adopting a different identity
Yeah, I'm giving it time to hollow out
Giving time for a gradual emotional depletion or emptiness
The brittle inside, the blackened shell
Describing a deteriorating internal state and a hardened exterior
It hit's me all the time, I know it well
Acknowledging a recurring realization of the negative impact, indicating familiarity
