Royal City Summertime
Chasing Time's Echo: The Unspoken Journeys of Royal City Summertime
Lyrics
When I was young
Reflecting on youth and early life experiences
I was told things
Received information that was not fully comprehended at the time
I didn't yet understand
Describing the process of growing up and gaining understanding
But now I've grown
Expressing maturity and development over time
We've wandered places
Having traveled and explored various places
Stompin' a beat of our own
Creating a unique rhythm or lifestyle
Now in a time
Current period of uncertainty or confusion
Where we don't know
Uncertain about the future destination
Just where we may land
Unknown future outcomes
We'd spend our nights
Recalling nights spent drinking and avoiding reality
Drinkin' away
Avoiding responsibilities or difficult situations
Leavin' our heads in the sand
Choosing ignorance as a coping mechanism
I gotta go, I've got to go
Sense of urgency to leave the current situation
Far away, far away from here
Desire to be far away from the current environment
'Cause we all know that when the summer's over
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of wasting time
We've wasted another year
Recognizing the passage of time without meaningful progress
And I can feel your fears but
Acknowledging someone else's fears
It's clear to me, it's clear to me
Clear understanding of a situation
And now I see
Realization or insight
Oh how can it be
Expressing surprise or disbelief
that when the summer's over
Reiterating the repetitive nature of time passing
It's all just another year
Emphasizing the cyclicality of experiences
Now on our way
Progressing on a chosen path
Down the path that leads
Heading towards a metaphorical "lake" representing shared experiences
To our version of a lake
Describing a communal space for communication
Where we would speak
Discussing past mistakes openly
Of all of our
Reflecting on valuable errors or lessons learned
Precious mistakes
Emphasizing the significance of personal growth
Where we could wait
Waiting patiently for positive outcomes
All damn day
Long periods of undisturbed contemplation
Nothing in our wake
No negative consequences in the past
And we would know
Confident in facing challenges
That we would do
Determination to overcome obstacles
Whatever it takes
Commitment to doing whatever is necessary
I gotta go, I've got to go
Sense of urgency to leave the current situation (repeated)
Far away, far away from here
Desire to be far away from the current environment (repeated)
'Cause we all know that when the summer's over
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of wasting time (repeated)
We've wasted another year
Recognizing the passage of time without meaningful progress (repeated)
And I can feel your fears but
Acknowledging someone else's fears (repeated)
It's clear to me, it's clear to me
Clear understanding of a situation (repeated)
And now I see
Realization or insight (repeated)
Oh how can it be
Expressing surprise or disbelief (repeated)
that when the summer's over
Reiterating the repetitive nature of time passing (repeated)
It's all just another year
Emphasizing the cyclicality of experiences (repeated)
