Wrong Side
Navigating Time's Tangled Tapestry: Wrong Side
Lyrics
Follow the light through the ceiling fan
Symbolizing guidance, following a light source, possibly representing hope or direction.
Try to catch it with your hand
Attempting to grasp or control something elusive or intangible.
Your fingers slip if the timing's bad
Struggling to hold onto something due to poor timing or circumstances.
We never knew how little time we had
Reflecting on the brevity of time and the realization of its scarcity.
Paint the haze on all the years
Depicting the passage of time, with a haze representing the blurred memories of years gone by.
All your hopes and all your fears
Acknowledging both hopes and fears accumulated over the years.
All the silly lies for love
Highlighting the lies told in the name of love, possibly expressing regret.
And you forget just what the reason was
Forgetting the original reasons or motivations behind certain actions or decisions.
It was just like you promised
Recalling a promise made, suggesting a sense of commitment or assurance.
We were better off in time
Implies a better past, possibly a time when things were more favorable.
Your memory is softer on the eyes
Memory is kinder or less harsh in hindsight, especially when looking at the past.
And I'm mostly being honest
Asserting honesty in most statements, perhaps hinting at hidden pain or struggle.
When I tell you that I'm fine
Expressing a facade of being fine despite potential underlying issues or emotions.
Until I wake up in the middle of the night
Revealing vulnerability and discomfort experienced during nighttime reflections.
On the wrong side
Suggesting a feeling of being on the wrong side, possibly of a situation or decision.
Fool me once, fool me twice
Acknowledging being deceived multiple times, possibly with a sense of resignation.
Fuck it, fool me a thousand times
Expressing a willingness to endure deception repeatedly.
Because you still look like silver and gold
Comparing someone to precious metals, indicating enduring value or significance.
Though that photograph is four years old
Despite the passage of time, the person still holds a special place, as seen in a photograph.
I come back to it all the time
Returning to a specific memory or thought repeatedly, suggesting its significance.
When we found what we were trying to find
Finding what was sought, possibly referring to the fulfillment of a desire or goal.
With no one else out on the beach
Being alone on the beach, suggesting a moment of solitude and introspection.
For a moment there we had our peace
Experiencing a brief period of tranquility or resolution during the mentioned moment.
It was just like you promised
Reiterating a promise made, emphasizing improvement over time.
We were better off in time
Reflecting on a better past, possibly contrasting it with the present.
Your memory is softer on the eyes
Similar to line 13, memories becoming gentler when looked back upon.
And I'm mostly being honest

When I tell you that I'm fine
