The Whole Time
Eternal Quest: Unveiling Life's Answers in Night Shop's 'The Whole Time'
Lyrics
Take us back to cold December
Reflecting on a past time in cold December, possibly a significant moment or memory.
Bold prophecies, half remembered
Remembering bold predictions or statements, although only partly recalled or understood.
You were cursed to never be alone
Feeling destined to never experience solitude or be truly alone.
I was sentenced to forever roam
Personally confined to wander indefinitely, lacking a fixed place or purpose.
And I'm looking for an answer but it's been there the whole time
Despite seeking an answer, realization dawns that the answer was evident all along.
Take us back to his strong arms
Nostalgia for the security of someone's comforting embrace.
Knowing laughter, devilish charm
Recollection of shared joy and mischievous charisma.
Take us back to fading Sundays
Longing to return to bygone carefree and tranquil Sundays.
I was always thinking "escape."
A mindset consistently seeking an escape from circumstances or reality.
And I'm looking for an answer but it's been there the whole time
Continued pursuit of an answer despite it being evident all along.
Like that wild horse running through the field
An analogy of freedom represented by a wild horse, restricted by boundaries.
Who could only get as far as the fence would ever yield
Referencing limitations despite effort; reaching only as far as allowed.
I heard you're striking with the workers for a fair wage
Awareness of someone else's struggle for fair compensation in work.
I'm with some stranger and I ain't got nothing to say
Feeling disconnected or distant in a situation with a stranger, lacking words.
I don't want it to end this way
Desiring a different outcome, not wanting things to conclude in the current manner.
I don't want it to be too late
Expressing a wish for action or resolution before it's too late.
When the nurse comes and pulls up the sheet
Imagining a poignant moment of someone passing away, hoping for a final connection.
I hope you'll sign all the papers and then lay awhile with me
Requesting a moment of togetherness before the inevitable end.
I'm looking for an answer but it's been there the whole time
Continued search for an answer despite its presence throughout.
