Living in the Past
Nostalgic Reflections: Timo Pankau's Melody of Time
Lyrics
Hey there
Addressing someone or expressing acknowledgment.
Here we are again
Acknowledging a recurring situation or meeting.
But nothing changed so far
Stating that there has been no change up to this point.
Let's have another beer
Suggesting the idea of having a drink together.
In the same old bar
Choosing a familiar place for the drink.
I'm tired, can not sleep
Expressing fatigue and insomnia.
Same old stories
Referring to repetitive and unchanging narratives.
About our life
Talking about life experiences.
And what we've done so far
Reflecting on achievements without recognition.
But no one realizes
Noting a lack of awareness regarding the passage of time.
The time is passing by
Realizing that time is slipping away.
I guess I'm living in the past
Admitting to living in the past, possibly stuck in nostalgia.
Growing up but sinking down
Describing the contradictory experience of growing up but feeling a decline.
Where are we going through
Posing a question about the direction of life.
Raise your head
Encouraging self-awareness by lifting one's head.
And drop your mind
Advising to let go of preconceptions or concerns.
And keep wondering who you are
Prompting contemplation about personal identity.
And who you were
Reflecting on both current and past versions of oneself.
You were before
Recalling a distant past self.
So far away
Emphasizing the temporal and spatial distance.
And long ago
Highlighting the extensive time elapsed.
So long ago
Reiterating the notion of a distant past.
Growing up but sinking down
Reiterating the contradiction of growing up and feeling a decline.
Where are we going through
Repeating the question about the direction of life.
Raise your head
Reiterating the call to self-awareness.
And drop your mind
Reiterating the advice to let go of concerns.
And keep wondering who you are
Reiterating the contemplation of personal identity.
And who you were
Reiterating the reflection on past and present selves.
You were before
Reiterating the recall of a distant past self.
So far away
Reiterating the emphasis on temporal and spatial distance.
And long ago
Reiterating the highlight of extensive time elapsed.
So long ago
Reiterating the prolonged duration of the past.
