Long Time Coming
Journey Through Reflections: The Unseen Struggles in 'Long Time Coming'
Lyrics
Long time coming
Expressing that something anticipated or expected has taken a while to occur.
But no one seen it coming
Surprise at the unexpected nature of the situation, suggesting a lack of foresight.
Long gone then
Referring to a past time that has elapsed.
And your heart is still running
Despite the time that has passed, the emotional impact is still felt.
Now you're thinking bout the times
Reflecting on past experiences and actions.
And the things you should've done
Regret for missed opportunities or choices in the past.
Well you might as well forget it
Suggesting acceptance of the situation, acknowledging it cannot be changed.
In the end you have won
Despite challenges, coming out victorious in the end.
Long-gone letters
References to letters from the past that are no longer present.
Well it makes you feel better
Finding comfort or relief in the absence of these letters.
Now you spend your days calm
Present state of tranquility during the day.
But you spend the night shattered
Nighttime brings emotional turmoil or distress.
It's a long time now
Highlighting the considerable duration that has passed.
To be left in no doubt
Emphasizing certainty or assurance in the current situation.
It's a long time change
Signifying a prolonged period of change or transformation.
Do you still feel the same?
Questioning if feelings or perspectives remain unchanged over time.
And you just can't shake that mood
An enduring negative emotional state that lingers.
Cause she's poisoned all your food
Suggesting a toxic influence on one's well-being, possibly from a relationship.
Now you're bogged down in those blues
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened by melancholy.
And you just can't shake them loose
Struggling to overcome and move past negative emotions.
It's a long time coming
Reiteration of the notion that the anticipated event has taken a considerable amount of time.
It's a long time now
Repeating the theme of certainty or assurance in the present moment.
To be left in no doubt
Reiterating the prolonged duration without any uncertainty.
It's a long time change
Repeating the idea of enduring change over time.
Do you still feel the same?
Questioning whether feelings or perspectives have remained consistent.
Long time coming
Final reaffirmation of the extended period leading up to the expected event.
