Time will tell
Ephemeral Reflections: Time's Message in Manuel Marko's Melody
Lyrics
See the river running wild, but the water oh so clear
Observation of a wild river with clear water, symbolizing contrast and beauty.
The colors of fall, are colors to heal
Fall colors are seen as a healing force, suggesting the therapeutic power of nature.
The heart of a mother, and the motherless child
Contrasting the nurturing heart of a mother with the plight of a motherless child.
Share a somehow forgotten feeling of pride
Shared but forgotten pride, evoking a sense of nostalgia or lost connections.
Time will tell
Emphasizing the inevitability of time revealing truths and outcomes.
Time will tell
Repetition reinforces the theme of time as a revealer of hidden aspects.
A constant reminder of heartache and pain
Time serves as a constant reminder of heartache and pain experienced.
Time will tell
Continuing the idea that time will unveil and provide understanding.
See the fire and the smoke, but the breeze oh so gentle
Observation of fire and smoke contrasted with a gentle breeze, suggesting paradoxical elements.
The trees grow as solid, as the words of a gambler
Tree growth compared to the solidity of a gambler's words, implying unpredictability.
In seek of forgiveness, the forgiven souls
Search for forgiveness leading forgiven souls on separate paths.
Tend to lead separate ways, then what may be their own
Highlighting divergence in paths taken by those seeking forgiveness.
Time will tell
Reiteration of the idea that time is a revealing force.
Time will tell
Emphasizing the ongoing revelation of long-buried names and memories.
A constant reminder of long buried names
Time as a reminder of historical or deeply buried names.
Time will tell
Repeating the concept that time will disclose hidden truths.
See the country and the people, those eyes filled with anger
Observation of a country and people with eyes filled with anger.
The hunger for faith has died in the answers
Noting the death of faith in answers and a hunger for meaning.
The deep rooted fear, of a strangers intention
Expressing a deep-rooted fear of strangers' intentions.
But who's a stranger my dear, when we're all independent?
Questioning the concept of strangers when everyone is independent.
