Time Was on Your Side
Echoes of Time's Regret: Unveiling the Poetic Silence
Lyrics
TIME WAS ON YOUR SIDE
Time favored you in the past.
I don't have much more to say, I'm running out of words
I have very little left to express, I'm running out of original thoughts.
From others to steal
There are no more ideas or concepts to borrow from others.
The game of playing poet for the undiscerning ear
Creating poetry or art for an audience that cannot distinguish quality is becoming less enjoyable.
Is losing its appeal
The enjoyment of creating is diminishing.
Maybe there's much more to write about
Perhaps there are more topics to explore and write about.
A fable that's yet to unfold
There might be a story or narrative that hasn't yet unfolded.
Memories are meant to be lied about
Memories are often altered or misrepresented.
True stories never get told
Real stories, the absolute truth, are rarely disclosed or told.
I've been searching everywhere for what I'll never find
I've been searching extensively for something I'll never discover.
Shadows in the night
There are uncertainties or vague aspects in life.
Someday you might think that I've been careless with my time
In the future, you might believe that I wasted my time.
And you'd be right
And your belief would be accurate.
Under the watchful afterglow
In the presence of a watchful or lingering light,
Tracing the lines on your face
Examining the details on your face closely.
Writing it down for some afterlife
Recording these observations for a future existence where words persist.
Where words carry on in your place
Where words continue in your absence.
Some day you will find time was on your side
Eventually, you will realize that time was in your favor.
Time was on your side after all
Ultimately, time was on your side despite everything.
I don't have much more to say, I'm running out of words
Similar to line 2, expressing the depletion of original thoughts.
To call my own
I lack unique words that are solely mine.
I long to know the silences that only you can hear
I desire to understand the moments of silence that only you perceive when I'm absent.
When I'm not around
When I'm not present, there are experiences or understandings exclusive to you.
Maybe it's best if we leave behind
It might be better to abandon what disappears without a trace.
What vanishes without a trace
Things that vanish without a sign of existence.
Then no one will know how the rules apply
No one will be aware of the guidelines or standards in such circumstances.
Or if there are any in place
Or whether any rules exist in those situations.
Some day you will find time was on your side
A repetition emphasizing the eventual realization that time favored you.
Time was on your side after all
Reiterating that time was on your side despite any doubts.
