Time of Day
Unlocking Emotions: Mirror Parts' 'Time of Day' Revealed
Lyrics
I put our favorite records on
I'm playing our favorite music to evoke shared memories or emotions.
To try and feel something we remember
Attempting to reconnect with past emotions or experiences.
And I don't want to make you cry
I don't intend to upset you.
But you know I couldn't help it
I couldn't avoid causing distress.
Even if I've tried
Despite my efforts, I couldn't prevent it.
And now I've got to be something bigger than myself
Feeling the need to become something greater than myself.
Fill up all these empty holes I dug out with these hands you hold
Trying to fill emotional voids or gaps created by my actions that affect you.
But it wouldn't have to be that way
Expressing regret for the situation, suggesting it could have been different.
If I just gave you the time of day
Realizing that investing time and attention might have altered the outcome.
Shaking yes and nodding no
Expressing uncertainty or conflicting feelings.
I know I've watched this scene before
Suggesting a familiarity with a similar situation in the past.
And you can't like and say that it's alright
Recognizing the difficulty in reassuring you that things are fine.
'Cause we both know
Both of us are aware of the truth, despite attempts to suggest otherwise.
Oh we both know
Reiterating mutual awareness of the reality of the situation.
And now I've got to be something bigger than myself
Continuing to emphasize the need for personal growth or change.
Fill up all these empty holes I dug out with these hands you hold
Trying to repair the emotional damage caused by actions through holding onto our relationship.
But it wouldn't have to be that way
Reflecting on an alternative scenario where giving attention earlier might have changed things.
If I just gave you the time of day
Recognizing the potential impact of acknowledging and dedicating time to someone.
And now I've got to be something bigger than myself
Reiterating the necessity of personal growth or transformation.
Fill up all these empty holes I dug out with these hands you hold
Continuing efforts to mend emotional voids in the relationship.
But it wouldn't have to be that way
Reflecting on an alternate outcome possible if attention had been given earlier.
If I just gave you the time of day
Recognizing the potential impact of dedicating time and attention to someone.
