One Small Year
Eternal Reflections: Unraveling the Meaning of 'One Small Year'
Lyrics
One small year
Reflecting on a short period of time
It's been an eternity
Feels like an incredibly long duration
It's taken all of me to get here
Acknowledging personal struggle and effort to reach the present
The hands of time
The passage of time
They pushed my down the street
Life's challenges and obstacles
They swept me of my feet to this place
Unexpected events leading to the current situation
And I don't know my face
Feeling disoriented or changed by experiences
Now all through the night I can pretend
Creating a facade or illusion at night
The morning will make me whole again
Hoping for renewal and completeness in the morning
Then everyday I can begin
Starting each day with a sense of new possibilities
To wait for the night again
Anticipating the comfort of the night once again
One more tune
A creative endeavor or project
That will never be done
A task or song that remains unfinished
It's just another one for the moon
Comparing the creative process to the moon's cycles
For the days in the ruin
Acknowledging difficult times in life
Just today I woke up feeling fine
A positive moment of feeling good
Like the world was mine
Sensation of empowerment and ownership of the world
I was clean
Feeling purified or cleansed
And it was a dream
A beautiful experience that seemed unreal
Where out of the blue came you and me
A chance meeting or unexpected connection
The Wizard of Oz has set us free
Symbolizing freedom and escape like in "The Wizard of Oz"
You let me float you to your feet
Supporting someone and lifting them up
Just like you believed in me
Reciprocal belief and support
It's like you believed
Emphasizing the significance of belief
One small year
Reflecting on the passage of another year
I wonder where I've gone
Contemplating the journey and its impact on identity
It shouldn't seem so long or so weird
Feeling surprised by the perceived length and strangeness of the journey
And I was always here
A realization of being present throughout the experiences
It's just one small year
Summing up the impact of a relatively short period
