Lyrics
Time is never time at all
Time is a subjective concept, not always perceived consistently.
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
Leaving has an enduring impact, leaving a part of one's youth behind.
And our lives are forever changed
Life experiences bring lasting changes to our existence.
We will never be the same
Transformation ensures we are forever altered.
The more you change, the less you feel
Change can diminish emotional sensitivity.
Believe, believe in me, believe, believe
Repeated encouragement to believe in oneself and others.
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
Life has the potential to change, offering hope of progress.
We're not the same, we're different
Emphasizes individuality, acknowledging differences.
Tonight, tonight
Repetition of "Tonight" suggests a special moment or opportunity.
Tonight, so bright
The night is portrayed as vibrant and full of possibilities.
Tonight, tonight
Reiteration of the anticipation for this significant evening.
And you know you're never sure
Uncertainty about the future despite a feeling of certainty.
But you're sure you could be right
Confidence in one's correctness amid uncertainty.
If you held yourself up to the light
Self-examination in the metaphorical light of truth.
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The enduring memories in the city of origin, represented by embers.
The place where you were born
The significance of the birthplace in shaping identity.
Believe, believe in me, believe, believe
Reiteration of the call to believe, reinforcing self-confidence.
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
Hope and change are emphasized, breaking free from stagnation.
We're not the same, we're different
Acknowledgment of uniqueness and divergence from others.
Tonight, tonight
Repetition of the anticipation for the transformative night.
Tonight, so bright
Emphasizing the brightness and positivity of the anticipated night.
Tonight, tonight
Reiteration of the significance of the upcoming night.
Tonight, tonight
Further emphasis on the importance of the approaching night.
Tonight, tonight
Continued emphasis on the special nature of the night.
Tonight, tonight
Repetition underscores the significance of the impending event.
Ooh
A vocalization expressing emotion or emphasis.
