Circles
Chasing Time in Circles: Shout Out Louds' Melodic Journey
Lyrics
Lately, I’ve been running in circles
Feeling stuck in repetitive patterns or routines.
Lately, I’ve been trying too hard
Experiencing difficulty or exerting excessive effort.
I haven’t been home long enough
Not spending enough time at home to fulfill personal desires.
To get what I want
Struggling to achieve personal goals or aspirations.
To get what I want
Reiteration of the difficulty in achieving desired goals.
I keep it close, more than it crossed my mind
Keeping something important in mind consistently.
Just give me a lot more time
Requesting more time for a particular matter or issue.
Lately, I’ve been leaving traces
Leaving noticeable signs or evidence of one's presence.
Lately, I’ve been writing letters and lists
Engaging in written communication and organization.
I haven’t been home long enough
Continuing the theme of not spending sufficient time at home.
To get what I want
Reiterating the struggle to achieve personal desires.
To get what I want
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge in reaching one's goals.
I keep it close, more than it crossed my mind
Maintaining a strong awareness of something important.
I’m waiting for that light to shine
Awaiting a positive change or revelation.
I keep it close, more than it crossed my mind
Repeating the idea of holding something close in mind.
Just give me a little more time
Requesting a bit more time, possibly for understanding or resolution.
I took the long way home
Choosing a longer and more challenging path in life.
Over the lake and into the woods
Describing a specific journey through nature.
So watch me, watch me disappear
Expressing a desire to be observed while disappearing.
Between the trees, my mind is crystal clear
Experiencing clarity of thought while in a natural environment.
Just give me a little more time
Repeating the request for more time.
Time
Reiteration of the importance of time in the context.
I took the long way home
Repeating the choice of a longer route home.
Over the tracks and past his house
Passing by familiar locations, emphasizing the journey.
But where oh where would the lantern lead
Pondering the destination of a lantern's light.
I walk until it hits me
Continuing to walk until inspiration or realization strikes.
Just give me a little more time
Repeating the plea for more time, possibly for introspection or growth.
