Time Again
Time Again: Echoes of Life's Journey in The Blue Days' Melody
Lyrics
So you say you want the truth
Expressing a desire for honesty and truthfulness.
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Referencing the concept of retaliation or justice being proportional.
I would want the same thing too
Acknowledging a shared inclination for fairness or reciprocity.
If I were you
Putting oneself in another person's shoes and considering their perspective.
So you think you know the world
Challenging someone's perceived understanding of the world.
Cos you hold it in your hand
Claiming knowledge and control over the world.
"Is it flat or is it round?"
Mocking a simplistic question about the shape of the world.
Can't believe you had to ask
Expressing disbelief at the need to ask such a basic question.
I was standing all alone
Reflecting on a moment of solitude amidst the bustling Broadway.
Watching all the ghosts on Broadway
Observing the fleeting nature of life symbolized by ghosts on Broadway.
In their ticker tape parade
Referencing a celebration or recognition with ticker tape parade.
Did they think they'd be forgotten so soon?
Questioning if those celebrated expected to be forgotten so quickly.
And so will you and so will I but
Recognizing the inevitability of being forgotten but expressing acceptance.
I don't mind and here is why
Explaining a personal reason for not minding being forgotten.
I know that I can always come back once again
Expressing confidence in the ability to return despite being forgotten.
Again the rain came down
Describing the recurrence of rain and introducing a favorite place.
Welcome to my favorite town
Welcoming to a cherished location where the sky is elusive but acceptable.
Where the sky is hard to find
Noting the rarity of the sky in the preferred town.
But I don't mind
Expressing contentment despite the unconventional sky.
Time and time I say to you
Reiterating the importance of time and its influence.
Time will tell you what to do
Asserting that time reveals the right course of action.
Time may be your only friend
Portraying time as a potential ally in making decisions.
It'll get you in the end
Warning about the inevitability of time catching up.
And you'll be standing all alone
Envisioning a future state of solitude similar to the ghosts on Broadway.
Just another ghost on Broadway
Comparing oneself to a forgotten ghost without celebration.
But no ticker tape parade
Contrasting with the absence of a ticker tape parade for the speaker.
Did you think you'd be forgotten so soon?
Questioning if those celebrated on Broadway anticipated being forgotten.
And though I know that so will I
Acknowledging the inevitability of personal forgetfulness.
I don't mind and here is why
Reiterating a personal reason for accepting forgetfulness.
I know that I can always come back one more time
Expressing confidence in the ability to return once more despite being forgotten.
