Wasting My Time
Navigating Love's Seasons: Sarah Borges' Reflections on Time and Connection
Lyrics
Don't tell me that I'm wasting my time
Expressing a refusal to accept the idea that time is being wasted
It's mine and I'll do what I want
Claiming ownership of one's time and asserting the right to make personal choices
It's amazing how fast words go over the line
Highlighting the swift impact of words crossing a boundary or limit
No matter how you say you won't
Regardless of how it's expressed, the denial of a promise or commitment
But it's all love and roses in spring
Contrasting positive emotions with the harsh reality of winter's destructive force
Then the winter snow kills everything
Metaphorically describing the destructive nature of winter, potentially symbolizing difficult times
Is it raining?
Posing a question about the current weather conditions, possibly reflecting uncertainty or instability
Been a while now since I've seen my friends
Expressing a significant gap in time since the last encounter with friends
Don't know when I'm gonna see them again
Uncertain about when the next meeting with friends will occur
Without them around it's harder to pretend
Acknowledging the difficulty of pretending without the presence of supportive friends
That I know where I'm going
Reflecting a sense of uncertainty about one's life direction in the absence of friends
But it's all love and roses in spring
Reiterating the contrast between positive emotions and the destructive nature of winter
Then the winter snow kills everything
Re-emphasizing the negative impact of winter on positive elements like love and roses
Is it raining?
Repeating the question about the current weather, suggesting ongoing uncertainty
Oh what happens now
Prompting consideration of the consequences or events following the current situation
When all of the lights go out
Raising questions about dealing with challenges when lights go out and financial responsibilities arise
And all the bills need paying?
Expressing concern about the practical challenges of life, such as paying bills
I've only ever taken half
Admitting to only taking partial measures, possibly in self-medication or decision-making
Of a pill or a dime
Specifically mentioning a fraction of a pill or dime, hinting at controlled or cautious behavior
And now I laugh
Reflecting on a past decision with a current sense of amusement or irony
At summer's end will I just be wasting my time?
Pondering whether the enjoyment experienced during summer will prove to be time wasted in retrospect
It's all love and roses in spring
Reiterating the contrast between positive emotions and the destructive nature of winter
Then the winter snow kills everything
Emphasizing the adverse impact of winter on positive elements like love and roses
Is it raining?
Repeating the question about the current weather, suggesting ongoing uncertainty
Oh what happens now
Prompting consideration of the consequences or events following the current situation
When all of the lights go out
Raising questions about dealing with challenges when lights go out and financial responsibilities arise
And all the bills need paying?
Expressing concern about the practical challenges of life, such as paying bills
