Chronicles of Time: Nostalgic Reflections in Smithy's Anime Intro
Lyrics
I was in a future drinking yesterday's old life
I experienced a future while reminiscing about the past.
It had aged not unlike wine
This past life, like wine, had matured over time.
Had it really cost a dime?
Questioning if the past was truly valuable or worthwhile.
Darling I always sober but time was not kind
Expressing sobriety, but time has been unkind.
It was another era right?
Reflecting on a different era.
With your sweat glazed upon eyes
Describing the impact of sweat, possibly hard work or effort.
Was it not devious tearing into this house of mine?
Questioning if entering a personal space was deceitful.
I finally have some peace of mind
Finally achieving peace of mind.
Some other hero can sacrifice
Alluding to someone else being a hero who can make sacrifices.
Did we ever try?
Raising the question of whether efforts were made.
Did you leave or did I?
Uncertainty about who left whom.
History's written by the victors
Highlighting the perspective that history is shaped by winners.
Do I remember right
Questioning the accuracy of personal memories.
Do I remember anything right?
Doubting the accuracy of all memories.
You were in a room staring up as though the ceiling climbed
Describing someone staring upwards in a room.
This is my average night
Portraying a typical night for the speaker.
I'm diving off the highest fly
Metaphorically diving into challenges or experiences.
A kaleidoscope of static told you
Reference to a confusing mix of information.
Dinner's at 5
Indicating a specific time for dinner.
You hear the laughs as fortunes collide
Hearing laughter as destinies intersect.
And Your friend signs off for the night
A friend bidding farewell for the night.
And you snap back as the arms drag onto 5:45
Returning to reality as time advances to 5:45.
But the calendar won't ask why
Noting the calendar's indifference to personal struggles.
As you wonder who you are
Reflecting on self-identity and existential questions.
Did we ever try?
Repeating the query about efforts made.
Did you leave or did I?
Revisiting the question of who departed.
History's written by the victors
Reiterating the idea that history is shaped by winners.
Do I remember right
Questioning the accuracy of historical recollections.
Do I remember anything right?
Doubting the reliability of any remembered details.
