Thousand Times
Embracing Life's Unseen Paths: Moderntears' 'Thousand Times' Reflection
Lyrics
Looking back through the days in time
Reflecting on past days
And all I used to know
Recalling what was known before
There’s a friend of mine who rides the sky
Referring to a friend who is metaphorically riding the sky (perhaps experiencing success or freedom)
And others who I don’t talk to
Acknowledging others with whom communication has faded
All around me the world keeps spinning
Observing the constant motion of the world
These streets don’t feel the same
Feeling a change in the atmosphere of familiar streets
Turn the clock back in the days
Expressing a desire to turn back time to carefree days
Where we used to live carefree
Recalling a time when life was lived without worries
Life’s not waiting for me
Acknowledging that life is not on hold or waiting
You said it thousand times
Referring to someone repeatedly stating a need to move on
It’s time to let it go
Acknowledging that it's time to release something
I’ll lie awake on the floor tonight
Describing a restless night lying on the floor
One more time
Repeating a desire for one more attempt or chance
I feel like giving it up
Feeling inclined to give up
No more tears, abandon all my fears
Expressing a resolution to abandon fears and not shed more tears
You won’t be easy to forget one day
Anticipating difficulty in forgetting someone
If I could look with the eyes of a child
Wishing for the innocence and wonder of a child's perspective
Your time is not passing by
Emphasizing that time is not slipping away
Please don’t waste all your life
Encouraging not to waste life
Before the end will tear us apart
Expressing concern about the end tearing relationships apart
From everyone and everything that surrounds me
Feeling surrounded by people and circumstances
Life’s not waiting for me
Reiterating that life doesn't wait
You said it thousand times
Repeating the message of needing to let go
It’s time to let it go
Emphasizing the importance of moving on
I’ll lie awake on the floor tonight
Describing another sleepless night on the floor
One more time
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity
I feel like giving it up
Feeling tempted to give up
I’m trapped over all these years that have passed
Feeling confined by the passage of time
I’m sick to death to feel so wrong
Expressing frustration at feeling consistently wrong
So then, when you’ll crawl into your bed, remember
Encouraging remembrance when going to bed
I might be lost but we‘re flawless
Acknowledging personal flaws but asserting perfection as a collective
Life’s not waiting for me
Reiterating that life doesn't wait
You said it thousand times
Repeating the message of needing to let go
It’s time to let it go
Emphasizing the importance of moving on
I’ll lie awake on the floor tonight
Describing another sleepless night on the floor
One more time
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity
I feel like giving it up
Feeling tempted to give up
