Echoes of Lost Time: One Armed Joey's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
For a second you thought it was just a glimpse of what's to come
Reflecting on a brief glimpse of the future that momentarily seemed promising.
Another crack in the mirror grows like weeds in the backyard you belonged to in the summer
Noticing a growing flaw or problem (symbolized by a crack in the mirror) in a familiar and nostalgic place.
Just another weekend afternoon now gone
Expressing the passing of a weekend afternoon, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
Do you know what's missing
Questioning awareness about something missing or absent.
Another message sent, lost in transit
Describing unsuccessful attempts at communication, with messages getting lost in transit.
You don't know you're wishing for a better time, always on your mind
Unconsciously desiring a better time, always preoccupying the mind.
But a piece of it will always remain
Acknowledging that while some experiences may be gone, a part of them remains within.
Long gone, or so you thought you'd be
Realizing that something thought to be distant or over is still present.
What went wrong
Pondering what went wrong in a situation or relationship.
Wasted days like these
Regretting wasted days and unfulfilled moments.
But the dust continues growing piece by piece
Symbolizing the accumulation of unresolved issues or problems.
And the hours lost continue to increase
Highlighting the continuous growth of lost time.
Do you know what's missing
Reiterating the theme of something being missing or incomplete.
Another message sent, lost in transit
Emphasizing the difficulty in communication, with messages frequently not reaching their destination.
You don't know, never know you're wishing for a better time
Unawareness of the desire for a better time, always lingering in the mind.
Always on your mind, but a piece of it remains
Reassuring that, despite challenges, a part of the desired time will persist.
Can I say that for better or worse, yeah, you never come first
Acknowledging that, whether for better or worse, personal needs often take a backseat.
And I never meant to get in the way
Expressing unintentional interference in others' lives, disrupting the intended order.
