Slow Death
Embracing the Value of Time: We Are Scientists' Reflection on a Slow Journey
Lyrics
Keep your eye on the time
Emphasizing the importance of being aware of the passing time.
The clock is ticking
Highlighting the continuous progression of time.
And you know better than I
Suggesting the listener has superior knowledge or awareness.
What I've been missing
Acknowledging a personal realization of something lacking or absent.
If what we're dying is a slow death
Speculating that the deterioration of a relationship is gradual and may go unnoticed.
I think we might not even know it
Expressing uncertainty about recognizing the decline of the relationship.
It's way too valuable to forget
Stating that the relationship is too valuable to be ignored or neglected.
So let's remember it
Suggesting a mutual effort to recall and cherish the positive aspects of the relationship.
It's not late to correct
Asserting that it's not too late to rectify mistakes in the relationship.
Mistakes we're making
Acknowledging errors or wrong choices made in the relationship.
And hope that we can protect what may be fading
Expressing a desire to safeguard what might be diminishing in the relationship.
If what we're dying is a slow death
Reiterating the idea that the decline of the relationship may not be immediately apparent.
I think we might not even know it
Re-emphasizing uncertainty about recognizing the slow deterioration of the relationship.
It's way too valuable to forget
Reaffirming the significant value of the relationship that should not be forgotten.
So let's remember it
Encouraging the act of remembering and cherishing the relationship.
Now I've had your love
Reflecting on past experiences of love.
So I can't survive
Indicating dependence on the received love for survival.
If my sun goes down, in your eyes
Using imagery to convey the idea that the speaker's well-being depends on the other person.
Once is not enough
Suggesting that a single instance of love or attention is insufficient.
So say you'll try
Requesting a commitment to making an effort to sustain the relationship.
Don't let my sun go down, in your eyes
Advising against letting the positive aspects of the relationship fade away.
If what we're dying is a slow death
Reiterating the theme of uncertain recognition of a gradual relationship decline.
I think we might not even know it
Expressing doubt about being aware of the slow deterioration in the relationship.
It's way too valuable to forget
Reaffirming the significant value of the relationship that should not be forgotten.
So let's remember it
Encouraging the act of remembering and cherishing the relationship.
