There Was a Time
Echoes of Lost Innocence: A Melodic Reflection on Fading Trust
Lyrics
There was a time, some years ago
Reflecting on a past period, some years ago.
when we were naïve, when we were young
Recalling a time of innocence and youth.
when troubles seemed so far away
Describing a time when problems felt distant.
we thought we were gonna live forever
Belief in eternal life, a sense of immortality.
You really were my soulmate but,
Acknowledging a past connection as soulmates.
those days have past, and now the trust
Recognizing the passage of time and erosion of trust.
has faded away just like the rain
Trust fading away metaphorically, like rain.
we understood to late this life is not a game
Realization that life is not a trivial game.
Tell me my friend
Seeking an explanation for renewed hurt.
why are you playing to hurt me again?
Questioning the motives behind causing pain.
And now look back and tell me
Looking back and questioning the possibility of change.
if you really someday will be the same?
Doubting the potential for the person to become the same again.
And now here we are in a castle of sand
Metaphorically situated in a fragile, temporary place.
faking smiles, happiness and
Portraying a facade of happiness, concealing true feelings.
hiding away our true desires
Concealing genuine desires behind a false exterior.
you know we will not live forever
Acknowledging mortality, the impermanence of life.
Listen to me, this is my last appeal
Making a final emotional plea to be heard.
I hope you believe all the things that I feel
Expressing hope that true feelings are understood.
are sadness and pain but maybe one day
Describing current emotions as sadness and pain.
we will believe again that life is just a game
Anticipating a renewed belief that life is a game.
Tell me my friend
Repeating the question about causing hurt.
why are you playing to hurt me again?
Questioning the intent behind causing pain once again.
And now look back and tell me
Reflecting on the possibility of future change.
if you really someday will be the same?
Doubting if the person will truly become the same again.
Please, tell me my friend
Repeating the plea for an explanation for causing hurt.
why are you playing to hurt me again?
Seeking understanding for the repeated infliction of pain.
And now look back and tell me
Questioning the potential for future change once again.
if you really someday will be the same?
Expressing doubt about the person truly becoming the same.
