Memories fading, I try to hold on
When I don't know where I belong
No more
The sound of your voice was my all, was my home
But these walls, they can't hear you no more
No more
Searching high and low for peace of mind
I feel I lost a piece of mine
And I wish that time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered, no
Ooh
Now that the spring comes, I try to stay strong
But every part of me aches, all along
All along
The gold fields of sunflowers all in their bloom
Now I close my eyes to feel you, oh you
Searching high and low for peace of mind
I feel I lost a piece of mine
And I wish that time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
And I, I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh, I wish time never mattered
If I only knew
I'd never take for granted
The times I took for granted, oh
If I only knew
I'd cherish it forever
'Cause you're what always mattered to me
Silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart
I wish time never mattered
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
Hand on my heart, yeah-yeah
Oh, I wish time never mattered, no
I wish that time
I wish that time
That time never mattered
The lyrics of "Time" by Snoh Aalegra are expressing the pain of losing someone and the struggle to move on. The first verse talks about memories fading and the feeling of insecurity that comes with losing someone who was once everything to you. The sound of the person's voice was home, but now the walls cannot hear them anymore. The second verse talks about searching for peace of mind and feeling as though a piece of yourself has been lost. The springtime brings beauty, but still, the pain remains. The chorus conveys the strongest emotion with the statement of "silence keeps clouding me", followed by a wish that time never mattered. Time is a factor that is constantly moving people forward, but in the case of losing someone, it is a cruel reminder of what is gone. The bridge adds a sense of regret and realization that the times taken for granted should have been cherished forever because ultimately that person is what always mattered.
Overall, "Time" by Snoh Aalegra conveys a message of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a lost love. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and they hit deep into the soul. The wish for time to have never mattered is a powerful statement, but unfortunately, time moves on, and the pain remains.
Memories fading, I try to hold on
I am struggling to keep my memories intact as they begin to fade away
When I don't know where I belong
I feel lost and uncertain about where I fit in
The sound of your voice was my all, was my home
Your voice was everything to me, it was my safe space
But these walls, they can't hear you no more
The walls that used to hear your voice before can no longer do so
Searching high and low for peace of mind
I am desperately trying to find inner peace
I feel I lost a piece of mine
I feel like I have lost a part of myself in the process
And I wish that time never mattered
I long for a time where time does not dictate the present
'Cause silence keeps clouding me
The absence of sound and noise is overwhelmingly suffocating me
Hand on my heart
I hold my hand on my chest in an attempt to feel my own heartbeat
And I, I wish time never mattered
I continue to yearn for a time free of time's restraints over us
Now that the spring comes, I try to stay strong
I attempt to find strength in the seasons changing around me
But every part of me aches, all along
In reality, I am hurting deeply on the inside
The gold fields of sunflowers all in their bloom
The beauty around me is not lost, as the fields of flowers in bloom bring me some joy
Now I close my eyes to feel you, oh you
I remember you by closing my eyes and trying to sense your presence
If I only knew
If I had only been aware then
I'd never take for granted
I would never have presumed the permanence of what I had
The times I took for granted, oh
I took for granted the times I spent with you
I'd cherish it forever
I would have held onto those moments and valued them even more
'Cause you're what always mattered to me
You were the most important thing to me always
I wish that time
I continue to yearn for a time without the limitations of time itself
I wish that time
This timelessness is still a lingering desire within me
That time never mattered
I wish that time did not rule over our existence
