Timeline
Navigating Life's Moments: Thomas Newton's 'Timeline' Reflection
Lyrics
Not long ago I learned that time was moving fast
Realization of the swift passage of time
God only knows, he took a screenshot of my past
Metaphorical reference to a divine perspective capturing past moments
Racing through my youth, faster than the legal limit
Life's rapid progression during youth, exceeding legal speed limits
No one pulled me over so I never got to live it
Lack of intervention led to a missed opportunity for a fuller life
Ohhh you didn't know how good you had it
Nostalgia for the simplicity and joy of past experiences
When your lunch was paper baggin'
Reflecting on the humble act of carrying lunch in a paper bag
On the way to lower school
Nostalgia about the journey to lower school
Ohhh you might wrestle with the journey
Struggling with the challenges of life's journey
While that wheel is slowly turning
The inevitability of time's progression and its potential impact
Will you let it change you?
Questioning one's response to life's changes
(So I Said)
Introduction of a reflective statement
You never know the last time you said goodbye
Awareness of the uncertainty surrounding the last goodbye
You never know which memories were the best ones of your life
Uncertainty about the best memories from one's life
Every hand you held and heart you melted for the last time
Emotional weight attached to final moments with loved ones
Just remember what it felt like
Encouragement to recall the emotions associated with past experiences
Don't get lost in the Timeline
Warning against losing oneself in the progression of time
In a perfect world, I wouldn't have to play the game
Desire for an ideal world without societal expectations
But I'm counting comments and the likes below to my name
Recognition of the influence of social media metrics on self-worth
So every day now I've been trying to explain
Struggling to articulate the inevitability of life's challenges
To myself and someone else we just can't escape
Shared acknowledgment of the inability to escape life's difficulties
Ohhh you didn't know how good you got it
Reflecting on underestimating the value of past experiences
Till you turn 20 something
Acknowledging life's fleeting nature upon reaching one's twenties
And life is slipping through your hands
Sense of time slipping away during the twenties
Ohhh you might wrestle with the journey
Wrestling with the challenges presented by life's journey
While that wheel is slowly turning
Recognition of the gradual progression of time
Will you let it change you?
Questioning the impact of time on personal growth
(So I Said)
Reiteration of a reflective statement
You never know the last time you said goodbye
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the last goodbye
You never know which memories were the best ones of your life
Reflecting on the difficulty of identifying the best memories
Every hand you held and heart you melted for the last time
Weighing the emotional significance of past connections
Just remember what it felt like
Encouragement to hold onto the emotions of past experiences
Don't get lost in the Timeline
Warning against losing oneself in the passage of time
Don't get lost in this lifetime
Emphasis on not losing oneself in the current lifetime
Don't get lost in this timeline
Reiteration of the warning against losing oneself in the timeline
Don't get lost in this lifetime
Reiteration of the caution not to get lost in the current lifetime
Don't get lost in this timeline
Repetition of the warning against losing oneself in the timeline
You never know the last time you said goodbye
Reiteration of the uncertainty surrounding the last goodbye
You never know which memories were the best ones of your life
Revisiting the challenge of identifying the best memories
Every hand you held and heart you melted for the last time
Reflecting on the emotional weight of past connections
Just remember what it felt like
Encouragement to recall the emotions associated with past experiences
Don't get lost in the Timeline
Final warning against losing oneself in the passage of time
