There Was A Time
Rediscovering Self: A Journey of Reflection in Peyton Lescher's 'There Was A Time'
Lyrics
There was a time when I lost myself in my work
Reflecting on a time when the singer became deeply engrossed in their work, possibly losing a sense of self.
There was a time when I lost track of my worth
Recalling a period when the singer undervalued themselves, possibly struggling with self-worth.
But I kept up with the things that made other people smile
Highlighting efforts to bring joy to others by engaging in activities that make them smile.
I kept up with all the things I had to do in a while
Keeping up with responsibilities and tasks that needed attention in the near future.
Maybe I should stop and think about the goodness in me
Suggesting the need to pause and contemplate the positive aspects within oneself.
Maybe I should stop and think about the little things
Encouraging self-reflection on the smaller, meaningful aspects of life.
I get so caught up thinking about what everybody needs
Expressing being preoccupied with fulfilling others' needs, possibly neglecting personal well-being.
I forget all the simple things like thinking of me
Forgetting simple pleasures in life while focusing on external demands, neglecting self-care.
I can sing out loud
Affirming the ability to express oneself openly through singing.
I can dance all night
Celebrating the freedom to dance throughout the night.
But those things won't save me
Acknowledging that singing and dancing alone may not resolve deeper issues.
The only thing I know will help is me
Recognizing that self-help is the ultimate solution to personal challenges.
There was a time when all I did was write and sing
Recapturing a time when the artist primarily focused on writing and singing.
There was a time when I almost said yes to a ring
Revealing a moment when the singer considered accepting a proposal of marriage.
But the thing that sheltered me from that was the song in my dear soul
Emphasizing that the inner song within the soul acted as a shelter from potential commitments.
I knew to fully love myself I had to let go
Understanding that true self-love required letting go of certain attachments.
Maybe I should stop and think about the goodness in me
Reiterating the importance of reflecting on one's positive qualities.
Maybe I should stop and think about the little things
Encouraging contemplation of the small, significant aspects of life.
I get so caught up thinking about what everybody needs
Expressing the tendency to be overly concerned with fulfilling others' needs, neglecting self-care.
I forget all the simple things like thinking of me
Forgetting to appreciate the simple pleasures in life while attending to external demands.
