The Seconds of the Day
Embracing Life's Moments: The Seconds of the Day by Pete Sounds
Lyrics
Have you ever had the blues
Expressing inquiry about experiencing sadness or melancholy.
As if it would last your whole life through
Describing a feeling of prolonged sadness, as if it will never end.
The realities you find when you paint yourself a reason why
Reflecting on the harsh realities encountered when creating false justifications for one's actions.
All the time
Emphasizing the continuous nature of these experiences.
I was waiting for someone
Waiting for someone with anticipation.
Maybe hoping for a change
Possibly desiring a positive change in life.
Now my life just lingers on
Life continues without significant improvement.
Through the seconds of the day
Life is endured through the passing moments of each day.
Times are hard for a girl like you
Highlighting challenges faced by a woman.
Where can you go when your day is through
Pondering where to find solace or purpose after a challenging day.
Oh and tomorrow takes its toll as you play around with the chosen few
Acknowledging the toll of the next day while engaging with a select few individuals.
While you knew
Awareness of the situation while engaging with others.
I was waiting for someone
Continuing to wait for someone, possibly for emotional support or change.
Maybe hoping for a change
Hopeful anticipation for a positive transformation.
Now my life just lingers on
Life persists without significant change.
Through the seconds of the day
Enduring the passing moments of each day.
It's so good to be alive
Expressing gratitude for being alive despite challenges.
Think of the wonders you may find
Encouraging consideration of the positive possibilities in life.
But I think I saw you cry
Observing a moment of vulnerability or sadness.
Just for a second there tonight
Noting a brief instance of witnessing someone's emotional display.
I was waiting for someone
Continuing to wait for someone, maintaining hope for change.
Maybe hoping for a change
Expressing a desire for a positive shift in life.
Now my life just lingers on
Life persists without a significant transformation.
Through the seconds of the day
Enduring the passing moments of each day.
The seconds of the day
Reiterating the continuous nature of experiencing each day.
