Where We've Been
Journey Through Time: Reflections on Choices Made
Lyrics
generations go by
Reflecting on the passage of time through generations.
with the blink of an eye
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time, how quickly it passes.
wanna be in the middle of it all
Desire to actively participate in the experiences and events of life.
never standing on the sides they were standing on the
Choosing not to remain on the sidelines, being involved in life.
who's side are you on anyway
Questioning allegiances or loyalties, seeking clarity.
i remember your face
A recollection of someone's face, suggesting a memory.
i remember your face
Repetition of remembering a face, emphasizing the significance.
i should have listened to what you said
Regretting not heeding advice or warnings from someone.
you know i wish i did
Expressing a wish to have followed the advice given.
but we can't go back to where we've been
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the past.
where we've been
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the theme of irreversible change.
go on look at what the consequences have made
Observing the outcomes of actions and their lasting impact.
you come around here and not a soul's the same
Noting the transformative effect on individuals who come back.
noone outside watering the flowers
Describing a deserted outside, possibly a metaphor for emotional isolation.
their inside waiting on the rain
People indoors waiting, possibly for change or resolution.
waiting on the lips are zipped
Describing a state of silence or secrecy, people withholding speech.
have they lost their minds
Questioning the rationality of others, wondering if they've lost their minds.
throwed in the towel and fade with the tides
Suggesting surrender or giving up, going along with the flow.
i remember your face
Recalling a familiar face, reinforcing the theme of memory.
i remember your face
Repetition of remembering a face, reinforcing its importance.
and i should have listned to what you said
Expressing regret for not heeding advice given by someone.
you know i wish i did
Wishing for a different outcome by following the advice.
but we can't go back to where we've been
Reiterating the inability to return to a previous state.
you know i wish i did
Expressing a continued wish for a different past.
i should have listened to what you said
Regretting the failure to listen to guidance from someone.
you know i wish i did
Repeating the desire for a different outcome through better choices.
but we can't go back to where we've been
Affirming the impossibility of returning to a previous state.
where we've been
Emphasizing the theme of irreversibility and change.
where we've been
Repetition for emphasis, underlining the irrevocable nature of the past.
where we've been
Concluding with a final repetition, solidifying the theme of unchangeable history.
