Before the Time
Unveiling Life's Depths: Before the Time by Shadowgraphs
Lyrics
Before the time
Reflecting on a period before a significant event or change.
You walked in my life
Someone entered the speaker's life.
I was so blind
The speaker lacked awareness or insight at that time.
Thought that I knew
The speaker thought they understood something.
was running from the truth
Escaping from the truth or reality.
Just another excuse
Making excuses rather than facing the truth.
Maybe I missed the point
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about a situation.
I dressed the part
Conforming to societal expectations or roles.
Crack open my skull
Metaphorically exploring one's inner thoughts.
Have a look inside
Inviting introspection and self-examination.
What will you find
Questioning what can be discovered about oneself.
When you've lost your mind
Experiencing a state of confusion or mental disarray.
Searching fo something you'll never find
Enduring a futile search for something unattainable.
Hidden in the depth of the night
Suggesting a concealed struggle during the night.
End it before the time
Considering ending a situation prematurely.
How was I living before the time
Reflecting on life before a transformative moment.
I was just waiting for a sign
A period of waiting for a meaningful sign or change.
How was I living before the time
Similar to line 19, expressing anticipation before a change.
I was just waiting for a sign
Reiteration of waiting for a significant sign.
Without a doubt the word is out
Undeniable information has been spread.
And now I can feel like a human being
Feeling more alive and human now.
Was I even breathing?
Raising doubts about previous existence or engagement.
Yes it was justified
Justification for a necessary departure or change.
I had to go
Acknowledging the need to move forward independently.
Carry my own
Taking responsibility and carrying one's own burdens.
And rightfully so
Justified action and consequence.
When you know you really know
Asserting certainty or confidence in understanding.
When you've lost your mind
Reiteration of the mental state of confusion.
Searching fo something you'll never find
Continued futile search for an elusive goal.
Hidden in the depth of the night
Highlighting a hidden struggle during the night.
End it before the time
Suggesting a contemplation of ending a situation prematurely.
