Lyrics
This is no longer nor will it ever be that way
This situation has changed and will not return to the way it was.
Again, cause there are too many
Repetition of the idea that there are too many challenges or obstacles.
Boxes stacked high upon each other.
Metaphorical reference to challenges or problems piling up.
Where did the time go
Raising a question about the passage of time.
Where did the time go to
Continuation of questioning where time has gone.
Look through each one and decide,
Encouraging scrutiny and evaluation of each challenge or experience.
Decide what was most important
Encouraging the act of deciding what is most significant or valuable.
To keep, and to keep us strong,
Emphasizing the importance of retaining things that make us strong.
Aid us in our journey.
Asking for support and assistance in the journey through life.
Journey through this valley
Describing life as a journey through a challenging and chaotic valley.
Valley of unending chaos, unrest
Highlighting the difficulties and unrest in life's journey.
Valley of darkness and death.
Describing the journey as passing through darkness and death.
This is no longer nor will it ever be that way
Reiteration that the past situation will not return.
Again, 'cause there are too many
Repetition of the idea that there are too many challenges or obstacles.
Boxes stacked high upon each other.
Metaphorical reference to challenges or problems piling up.
Where did the time go
Raising a question about the passage of time.
Where did the time go to
Continuation of questioning where time has gone.
Look through each one and decide,
Encouraging scrutiny and evaluation of each challenge or experience.
Also what should be left behind.
Suggesting the importance of leaving behind certain things during the evaluation.
Sever anything that unduly burdened,
Encouraging the removal of anything that unnecessarily burdens the journey.
With the hope that you and I
Expressing hope that both individuals are considered important enough to be retained.
Would be valued important enough to be,
Desiring to be valued and carried along during the journey.
Kept on for the ride, hell, even carried at times.
Expressing the desire to be kept or carried during challenging times.
As we journey through this valley.
Reiteration of the journey through life's challenging valley.
