Lyrics
My whole life flashed right in front of me
Reflecting on the entirety of one's life in a moment of realization.
Got to admit that there was wasn’t really that much to see
Acknowledging that the speaker's life may not have been particularly noteworthy or fulfilling.
Fast forward through all the boring parts
Choosing to skip through mundane or uninteresting aspects of life in reflection.
My whole life flashed right before my eyes
Reiterating the experience of the speaker's life replaying, emphasizing the familiarity of the situation.
Got to admit that it didn’t come as much surprise
Expressing that the outcomes and events of the speaker's life were expected or not surprising.
Fast forward through all the boring parts
Continuing to fast forward through uninteresting parts of life in retrospect.
I went away to find all the things that escaped from me
Embarking on a journey to rediscover aspects of life that were lost or overlooked.
Did I find myself or just find the flaws that exist in me?
Questioning whether the journey led to self-discovery or merely revealed personal imperfections.
My whole life flashed right in front of me
Repeating the experience of one's life flashing before their eyes, suggesting a recurring theme.
Never thought that there was that much to see
Contradicting the earlier perception, realizing there is more to the speaker's life than initially thought.
Fast forward through all the boring parts
Continuing to skip through uninteresting parts, emphasizing the focus on significant moments.
Except for the memories, except for the memories we’ve lost
Highlighting the importance of retained memories, acknowledging their value despite other forgettable aspects.
Time is lost but it’s the one thing that we thought we had
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of losing time, and the realization that time is not as secure as perceived.
The years have gone, the memories have faded, we fall through cracks
Acknowledging the passage of time, the fading of memories, and the sense of falling through the cracks of life.
My whole life flashed right in front of me
Reiterating the experience of life flashing before one's eyes, suggesting a deeper reflection on existence.
Never thought that there was that much to see
Revising the earlier perception and realizing there is more substance and significance in the speaker's life.
Fast forward through all the boring parts
Continuing to skip through uninteresting parts, emphasizing a focus on meaningful and impactful moments.
Except for the memories, except for the memories we’ve lost
Stressing the importance of retained memories, particularly those that hold emotional significance.
My whole life flashed right in front of me
Recalling once again the experience of life replaying, suggesting a cyclical or recurring contemplation.
Got to admit that there wasn’t really that much to see
Affirming the earlier acknowledgment that the speaker's life may not have been exceptionally remarkable.
Fast forward through all the boring parts
Continuing to skip through mundane or uninteresting aspects of life, maintaining a selective reflection.
Except for the memories, except for the memories we’ve lost
Emphasizing the value of memories, even those that may have been lost or forgotten over time.
