Running Thin
Echoes of Childhood: Navigating Time's Thin Line with Slippy & The Sheets
Lyrics
I said, oh I wish
I express a desire or longing.
We felt the same way we felt when we were kids
I wish our emotions were reminiscent of our childhood feelings.
Wish we played all the same games that we always did
I wish we engaged in the same activities as we did in the past.
All mine, thought the truth was always right
I believed that honesty was always on my side.
The signs looked clearer every time
Observing signs became clearer with each instance.
But the lines started blurrin' and we started to get that
The boundaries became unclear, and a realization set in.
The stars were all colliding and our time was running thin
The celestial bodies collided, indicating our time is limited.
Learned it felt good to hear them call your name
It was gratifying to hear my name being called.
Build it up just to tear it down again
We constructed something only to dismantle it again.
Alright
Expressing acceptance or agreement.
I guess
An acknowledgment of defeat.
Oh, they win
The adversaries emerge victorious.
There's not much else that we can do to change
Options for change are limited.
The rising tides aren't something that we have learned to tame
We haven't mastered controlling the increasing challenges.
Alright
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
So tonight
Referring to the current night or situation.
We might not make it through the final hours
Doubtful of surviving the imminent difficulties.
I'll relay directions so maybe we get through fine
I will provide guidance to navigate the challenges.
But the lines started blurrin' and we started to get that
The boundaries blur again, indicating time constraints.
The stars were all colliding and our time was running thin
The cosmic elements clash, signaling limited time.
Learned it felt good to hear them call your name
Reveling in the satisfaction of hearing one's name called.
Build it up just to tear it down again
We construct and deconstruct again.
Alright
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
That's right, just let it run its course
Allow the situation to unfold naturally.
With the path in shambles we are sure to get lost
The path is chaotic, leading to inevitable confusion.
That's right, our hands are dirty and our faces are all burned
We bear the consequences of our actions.
Alright
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
But the lines started blurrin' and we started to get that
The boundaries blur again, indicating time constraints.
The stars were all collidin' and our time was running thin
The cosmic elements clash, signaling limited time.
Learned it felt good to hear them call your name
Reveling in the satisfaction of hearing one's name called.
Build it up just to tear it down again
We construct and deconstruct again.
Alright
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
Alright
-Alright...
Concluding affirmation or acceptance.
