Description
This song, at its basics, is about how our view of the world and those around us can be affected by our experiences, good or bad. Just as precious metals can be tarnished by neglect over time, our view of things can be affected by the color of time.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Another day, just scrapin' by Feel as though I live a lie Seems no matter what we try, we never fly... Life can leave you wanting more Looking for an open door... Too many are keeping score, but what's in store? Chorus Does the color of time Drive you out of your mind? I feel so left behind... I wish I could rewind My life, have I undermined Everything I hoped to find? Verse 2 Waste time and broken dreams Spent supporting others' schemes There's a lesson to be gleaned from everything... When all the things you used to be Are simply echoes on the breeze... Are we ever really free, brought to our knees?... Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Beginning to feel as though the sands of time are rubbed in your wounds Frustration'll drive you crazy tryin' to make sense from the runes But when you realize that time is simply beatin' on like a drum You'll wonder if you're running from the sum of everything you've become Nobody ever said that life was easy and nothing's meant to be But it's up to you to make your mind up if you're ever gonna be free Each one of the days left in your life is never gonna be worth a dime If you never find the means to leave behind the color of time Repeat Chorus Verse 4 I finally realized the tarnishing of silver and brass Is akin to how we can be altered by the time that will pass But it's not rose-colored glasses that we need to to look through to see The chains in which life'll lock you up and never leave you a key I see in your eyes that you are weary from the judgement of life And on the inside you're dying from the pain that cuts like a knife But I hope it's not too late for you to find solace in my rhyme I hope it inspires you to try to change the color of time...
