Take The Time
Seize Life's Moments: Spencer Ammons' Reflective Journey in 'Take The Time'
Lyrics
I'm drifting high above the sea bed
I feel detached and elevated above the ocean floor.
I'm spilling out all my secrets
I am revealing all my hidden thoughts or experiences.
I'm telling God everything I know
Confiding in God, sharing everything within my knowledge.
And I'm praying that I won't die too slow
Expressing a hope for a swift and painless death through prayer.
But before I go wish I could tell you just to
Expressing a desire to convey a message before departing.
Hug your loved ones tight before they go down for the night
Encouraging others to embrace their loved ones tightly before bedtime.
Think about it darling
An invitation to contemplate the forthcoming message.
Now, count down 3, 2, 1
A countdown before a revelation or significant event.
There's only so many minutes from the moon to the sun
A reflection on the limited time between the moon and the sun, symbolizing life's brevity.
And little darling won't you realize
Encouraging someone to recognize the ample time they have.
You have so many hours
A reminder of the abundance of hours available to seize opportunities.
To take the time
The central message: take the time to appreciate life.
Being alone has me thinking about life
Contemplating life's meaning in moments of solitude.
About what it means to live it right
A consideration of living life in a morally upright way.
'Cause Lord knows I've lived too fast
Admitting a history of living recklessly or too quickly.
Hand firmly pressed down to the throttle
An analogy of a fast-paced life, likened to pressing the throttle down firmly.
If I could send a message in a bottle I'd say
If given the chance, a desire to send a meaningful message.
Think about it darling
A repetition of the invitation to reflect on the forthcoming message.
Now, count down 3 to 1
Repeating the countdown before the revelation or event.
There's only so many minutes from the moon to the sun
Reiterating the limited time between the moon and the sun as a metaphor for life's brevity.
And little darling won't you realize
Encouraging someone to recognize the ample time they have, repeated for emphasis.
You have so many hours
A reminder of the abundance of hours available, repeated for emphasis.
To take the time
Reiteration of the central message: take the time to appreciate life.
1...2...3...4
A countdown, potentially signaling the end or a significant event.
