Lyrics
So what can I tell you
Expressing uncertainty or limitation in conveying information.
If life's the length of this play
Comparing life to the duration of a play, suggesting its finite nature.
Perhaps God gave the answers
Suggesting that answers from God may be given to those who lack expression or purpose.
To those with nothing to say
Highlighting the potential irony that those with nothing to say may receive divine answers.
But then the years are forgiving
Reflecting on the forgiving nature of time over the years.
If God's forgiving in kind
Exploring the idea that forgiveness from God is reciprocal, tied to one's own forgiveness.
Perhaps we'll all find our answers somewhere in time
Expressing hope that answers or understanding will be found as time unfolds.
I've been changing
Acknowledging personal transformation and evolution.
Redefining
Reimagining and reconsidering previously held beliefs or perspectives.
All the things I thought I knew
Reflecting on a past when certain beliefs or knowledge were held.
So long ago
Referencing a distant past where the speaker was more carefree or uninhibited.
When I was flying
Recalling a time of freedom or exhilaration, possibly metaphorical flying.
Through those years that seem so far away
Nostalgically remembering a period that seems distant in memory.
In the back of a reason
Referring to a hidden or subconscious rationale or justification.
In the back of my mind
Reflecting on thoughts or memories stored in the subconscious.
Where I've piled up the seasons
Accumulating experiences or phases over time.
That I've traded for times
Trading past seasons or moments for present circumstances.
I've been grasping at rainbows
Pursuing unattainable dreams or ideals.
Hanging on till the end
Clutching onto hope until the very end of a challenging journey.
But the rain is so real lord
Contrasting the tangible reality of rain with the elusive nature of rainbows.
And the rainbows pretend
Highlighting the deceptive or illusory nature of rainbows.
And the rainbows pretend
Reiteration of the illusory nature of rainbows.
I've been changing
Reiterating the theme of personal change and redefinition.
Redefining
Continuation of the process of redefining and evolving.
All the things I thought I knew
Recalling the distant past where certain beliefs or knowledge were held.
So long ago
Reflecting on a past when certain beliefs or knowledge were held.
When I was flying
Recalling a time of freedom or exhilaration, possibly metaphorical flying.
Through the years
Continuation of the passage of time and reflection on the past.
That seem so far away
Expressing the perception that certain times or memories feel distant.
