Temporary
Embracing the Ephemeral: Priya Panda's 'Temporary' Reflections
Lyrics
Do you remember when we were dreamers?
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker and someone else were dreamers.
We had it all and it didn't matter at all
During that time, they had everything, and nothing else mattered.
It didn't matter at all
Emphasizing that nothing else mattered during that period.
We tried to stop the sun from rising
Attempting to halt the progression of time or change.
We thought we could tell tomorrow to wait
Believing they could control the future by telling tomorrow to wait.
Tell tomorrow to wait
Repeating the idea that they wanted to delay the future.
But now our time has come and gone
Acknowledging that their time together has ended.
It was never meant to last for long
Recognizing that the past wasn't meant to endure.
Be here now
Encouraging to live in the present moment.
It can only be temporary
Stating that the current situation is only temporary.
Be here now
Reiterating the temporary nature of their connection.
We were meant to be temporary
Affirming that they were destined to be temporary.
It's okay to look back, but don't stare
Suggesting it's fine to reminisce but not to dwell on the past.
It was easier then 'cause we just didn't care
Explaining that the past was easier because they didn't care much.
Oh, we just didn't care
Reiterating their carefree attitude in the past.
But tomorrow came and it came fast
Describing the swift arrival of the future.
Suddenly, they called our time the past
Suddenly realizing that their time has become the past.
I guess it couldn't last
Concluding that it couldn't last.
But now our time has come and gone
Repeating the acknowledgment that their time has passed.
It was never meant to last for long
Reiterating that the past wasn't meant to endure.
Be here now
Encouraging to be present in the current moment.
It can only be temporary
Restating that the current situation is temporary.
Be here now
Reiterating the temporary nature of their connection.
We were meant to be temporary
Affirming that they were destined to be temporary.
Life goes on and on and on and on
Expressing the ongoing nature of life.
Life goes on and on and on and on
Repeating the idea that life continues indefinitely.
Time waits for no one even stars burn out
Highlighting the unstoppable passage of time.
Don't wait for time it will let you down
Advising not to rely on time as it may disappoint.
Time waits for no one even stars burn out
Repeating the idea that time doesn't wait.
Don't wait for time it will let you down
Warning against expecting too much from time.
Be here now
Encouraging to be present in the current moment.
It can only be temporary
Restating that the current situation is temporary.
Be here now
Reiterating the temporary nature of their connection.
We were meant to be temporary
Affirming that they were destined to be temporary.
Life goes on
Emphasizing that life continues.
Life goes on
Repeating the idea that life continues.
We were meant to be temporary
Affirming again that they were meant to be temporary.
Life goes on
Reiterating that life goes on.
We were meant to be temporary
A final affirmation that they were meant to be temporary.
