In Time
Journey of Reflection: Unveiling Life's Mysteries in Maggie Carson's 'In Time'
Lyrics
We ride for miles we sit in silence
We travel a long distance while being quiet
We watch the country pass behind us
We observe the countryside passing by
Two yellow lines providing guidance
Two yellow lines on the road guide our path
Look at the map we try to find us
We refer to the map to locate ourselves
Ask again question why and how
We repeatedly ask questions about why and how
In time we'll know what we don't know now
Eventually, with time, we'll understand what's currently unknown
Heavy sun on the dashboard lights
The strong sunlight creates illumination on the car's dashboard
Somewhere between the day and night
We're in a transitional phase between day and night
The night will come just like a chorus
Nightfall arrives predictably like a repeated chorus in a song
A destination that's waiting for us
There's a destination ahead waiting for us to reach
The steady sound of four wheels turning
We hear the consistent sound of the car's four wheels rotating
The engine's hum the gas is burning
The engine's noise signifies the consumption of fuel
Ask again question why and how
We keep questioning reasons and methods
In time we'll know what we don't know now
Over time, we'll gain knowledge about what's currently unknown
The end's not writ it's an open book
The conclusion is not predetermined; it's like an unfinished story
Sing the lyrics and play the hook
We sing the song's lyrics and repeat the catchy part
Ask again question why and how
We continue to inquire about reasons and methods
In time we'll know what we don't know now
With time, we'll comprehend what's currently unknown
The end's not writ it's an open book
The conclusion is open-ended, not predetermined
Sing the lyrics and play the hook
We sing the song's lyrics and repeat the catchy part (hook)
