I probably shouldn't be here.
Ever since yesterday I've felt different, that's probably the best word to use to describe whatever the hell is going on in my head. And maybe I'm overthinking everything, but all of the questions, and the cigarettes, and the excuse to see me again, it's hard to get him out of my head.
Last night I crashed on the couch with my headphones on listening to Time over and over again. I don't know why I did, but I somehow started putting these pieces together, trying to figure him out through the lyrics seeing as he said those are the ones he related to most.
I've had a few different ideas as to what it could all mean and how it could lead back to him, and overall my analysis seems quite clear.
The song starts with ticking before a loud ring of a bell. There are layers of clocks that represent the ignorance and bliss of childhood, relying on others, such as parents, to take care of and nurture you. Life's good at that time, you do not worry about anything else in the world.
Then the music comes in, ticking away the moments that make up another dull day. It represents somehow who's in their twenties or so, knows they need to do something with their life, yet continues to fall back into old habits of what I perceived to be procrastination.
Time goes by fast, it flies, and when you realize how quickly it moves, you start to sense you've missed something and failed to see the opportunities that would have been presented to you if you would have dropped the old habits instead of stalling.
This isn't necessarily a mid-life crisis, it's a young adult looking at their life and realizing they could reach that point as time passes them by if changes aren't made.
Then there hits a point that's strictly guitar. That instrumental aspect of the song represents the realization of not living up to the expectations of themselves. This is when the mid-life crisis hits. You realize you missed the train, you missed the opportunity, and now you're thirty years old when you thought just last year you turned twenty-one.
When the guitar solo comes to an end it takes you on this journey of not only wishing but craving to take the action of changing your life. You're trapped at this point though, you're middle-aged, you lost ten years and you can't get that time back. You can't get your youth back. There's no energy or way out. You can only make those teenage memories and young adult stories when you're at that age.
