Alarm Clock
Ephemeral Moments: A Tale of Youth, Memories, and Shared Bonds
Lyrics
They chased us up the castle hill
Escaping pursued by someone up a castle hill
We laughed, we ran like hell
Expressing joy and frantic movement
Knew the cops, they were after us
Aware of the police pursuing them
As the bottles, they fell and we well
Bottles are thrown, possibly in a chaotic situation
So if all those memories will fade over time
Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of memories
Promise you’ll never forget me
Request to be remembered despite the fading memories
You were the alarm clock to my sleepy nights
Addressing someone as an essential wake-up call in life
And I was the shoulder for your tears
Describing a supportive role in a relationship
We ran out of time
Time constraints or limitations in their situation
Then we ran out of sight
Running out of time, possibly in a hurried escape
Cause we ran out of sight
Reiteration of running out of sight, emphasizing the urgency
We’ve got no time
Emphasizing the lack of time or urgency
Feet in the air, face to the floor
Physical position during a challenging situation
Then he kicked us out
Being forcefully removed from a place
Shattered wrists and hospital doors
Referring to injuries and hospitalization
It’s the stories that count
Highlighting the importance of stories in their lives
And they do
Affirmation of the significance of shared experiences
I keep coming back
Returning to memories associated with their kitchen
To our kitchen smokes
Recalling moments involving smoking in the kitchen
These talks hold the truths
Conversations that reveal essential truths
That I need to go on
The importance of these talks in providing strength
So if all those memories will fade over time
Reiteration of the transient nature of memories
Promise you’ll never forget me
A plea to be remembered despite the inevitable fading
You were the alarm clock to my sleepy nights
Comparing someone to an essential waking presence
And I was the shoulder for your tears
Describing a reciprocal supportive role in the relationship
We ran out of time
Running out of time, echoing earlier urgency
Then we ran out of sight
Reiteration of running out of sight, underscoring urgency
Cause we ran out of sight
Emphasizing the continued theme of running out of sight
We’ve got no time
Reiterating the lack of time or urgency
