Lyrics
Yesterdays, how quick they change
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of the past, how quickly it changes.
All lost and long gone now
All that is lost in the past is now gone and can't be recovered.
It's hard to remember anything moving at the speed of sound
Difficulty recalling or grasping memories when things are moving swiftly, specifically at the speed of sound.
Moving with the speed of sound
Emphasizing the rapid pace of events or life, moving at the speed of sound.
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
Despite challenges, holding onto a dream of distant success or accomplishment.
in that somehow I'll survive
Believing in the possibility of surviving despite adversity.
But this night has been a long one
Expressing the prolonged nature of the current difficult situation.
Waiting on a sun that just don't come
Waiting for a positive change or resolution that seems elusive.
Can I forgive what I cannot forget
Questioning the ability to forgive something unforgettable and live a false reality.
And live a lie?
Contemplating living a lie despite the challenges of doing so.
I could give it one more try
Considering giving a difficult situation or challenge another attempt.
Why deny this drive inside, just looking for some peace
Acknowledging an inner drive for peace and stability.
Every time I get me some it gets the best of me
Recognizing that every time peace is achieved, it is short-lived and overcome by challenges.
I'm not much left, you see
Expressing a sense of depletion or exhaustion, not much left in terms of strength or resources.
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
Despite challenges, holding onto a dream of distant success or accomplishment (repeated from line 6).
And that, somehow I'll survive
Believing in the possibility of surviving despite adversity (repeated from line 7).
But this night has been a long one
Expressing the prolonged nature of the current difficult situation (repeated from line 8).
Waiting on a word that never comes
Waiting for communication or resolution that never arrives.
A whisper in the dark
Noticing a faint sound or signal in the darkness.
Is that you or just my thoughts
Uncertainty about whether the sound is external or just internal thoughts.
I'm wide awake and reaching out
Being fully awake and reaching out for something.
It's gone so quiet now
Observing a sudden silence, possibly indicating a significant change.
Could it be I'm farther out?
Contemplating being farther away from a goal or reality.
Movin' faster than the speed of sound
Highlighting the rapid pace of movement, possibly beyond comprehension or control.
