Within and Apart
Lost in Time: Orchid Mantis' Within and Apart Revels in Memories
Lyrics
Where'd the days go
Reflecting on the passage of time and its disappearance.
When did the nights get so long
Noticing the lengthening of nights, suggesting a sense of loneliness or isolation.
Time moves slow
Time feels slow, possibly indicating a sense of stagnation or difficulty.
On my own
Being alone and facing the challenges or experiences without external support.
And I remember
Recalling a time when understanding the world was more straightforward.
When I could still make sense of
Reflecting on the past when comprehending life seemed easier.
How things were
Noting the changes in how things used to be.
Lights above
Referencing lights above, possibly symbolic of guidance or hope.
Lift me up
Seeking upliftment from the challenges or struggles.
Never goes how you thought it would go
Acknowledging that life doesn't unfold as expected.
But this world is a broken home
Describing the world as a fractured or troubled place.
Just enough for the memory to feel right
Having just enough positive memories to make the past feel right.
There's only so much time
Emphasizing the limitation of time.
In the dark outside after midnight
Being in the dark outside after midnight, symbolizing a challenging period.
No arms can reach into this sky
No external help is available in difficult times.
You can feel when you're out of luck
Sensing misfortune when luck runs out.
Think I never had enough
Feeling a lack or insufficiency in one's experiences.
Where have the days gone
Questioning the disappearance of days without understanding the cause.
I never know just what's wrong
Uncertainty about what is wrong or missing.
Can't see how
Unable to perceive the reasons behind the current situation.
Cast me out
Feeling rejected or excluded.
And I could stay here
Contemplating whether to stay in a difficult situation or disappear from it.
Or I could disappear
Weighing the impact of the decision to stay or leave.
It makes no difference now
Realizing that the choice may not make a difference in the end.
Our time is running out
Awareness that time is running out, creating urgency.
If I could have just one more day
A desire for more time, possibly to rectify or cherish moments.
Never goes how you thought it would go
Reiterating the unpredictability of life's course.
But this world is a broken home
Describing the world as a fractured or troubled place once again.
Just enough for the memory to feel right
Having just enough positive memories to make the past feel right, reiteration.
There's only so much time
Emphasizing the limitation of time, reiteration.
In the dark outside after midnight
Repeating the challenging experience after midnight, reinforcing its significance.
No arms can reach into this sky
No external help is available in difficult times, reiteration.
We're within and apart
Highlighting the dual nature of being within and apart, possibly referencing inner conflicts.
Both the end and the start
Suggesting that the journey is both an end and a beginning, indicating cycles in life.
