Time of My Life

Patrick Wolf

From the east to the south
I tongue the roof of my mouth

To new days of doubt without you

First gear
I face the trouble ahead
Final word has been said
Long distance spread between us
I tell myself to

Hold on
It won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle

Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Not called for weeks now
Six days without sleep means
I am a slave to my early grave
If I do not be brave, behave
Seize myself out of this mess
I have created of myself, yet again
Yet again I say

Hold on
It won't be long
till I grow through this struggle

Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

We go on
Heart beats strong
Still whole
Unbroken
As we divide
Our love, goodbye

Thanks for the time
Time of my life

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Time
Time
Of my life

Time
Time
Of my life (So happy without you)

Time
Time
Of my life

Thanks for the time of my life (Happy without you)
Happy without you
Happy without you

    I'm so freakin' happy! Finally some new songs from Mister Wolf hisself!

    I could go into my interpretation of this song now but I think it would just ruin the sheer purity and beauty of the song. I have to wait until I've listened it to pieces. XD

    And in any case, I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

    Ahh, this song made me happy and I've been playing it near endlessly since I first heard it.

    My Interpretation

    Well i think it's got a lot of different emotions on the lyrics, from love, grief, insecurity, sadness, yearning, and that this is not the first time he goes throught a very painful break up. He realises he has to work his way out of his misery, to get up and "keep calm and carry on" like, adjust and find himself again. Still thanking that person for the time they spend together, apparently very very good, but now it's over.

    My two cents anyway, and I like this very very much because it concentrates on his emotions rather than who was to blame for their break up. And this applies to my situation at the moment so well that it's almost like he knew I needed this song now. Needless to say, I liked it very very much =)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
