Space & Time Lyrics

Tear apart
The life and times of familiar faces

And tracing lines
To what connects me and binds me to

Images of the remote and ever changing
Grand designs, style, and grace

And am I…

Lost in thoughts
On open seas
Let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain
Another life, or another dream

No turning back
Face the fact
I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

One and all
Let us celebrate the rise and fall
Celebrate the life and times
Of splendor

Desire and love
Constant and never changing
The flow of times
Closing lines

Can’t tell if I’m just…

Lost in thoughts
On open seas
Let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain
Another life or another dream

No turning back
Face the fact
I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

Lost in thoughts
On open seas
Let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain
Another life or another dream

No turning back
Face the fact
I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

Lost in thoughts
On open seas
Let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain
Another life or another dream

No turning back
Face the fact
I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

I think it's "constant and ever changing".

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Space & Time lyrics by VNV Nation

Life will always constantly change "let the currents carry me" Sometimes you just go with it, other times you may fear change after all change does bring negative effects sometimes. "Looking back in time." This is where you find yourself thinking back on before things changed, it could have been better what there is now, or perhaps a little worse. I myself have a goal using the quote "Leave the world a better place then when you arrived" I view the separation of people as a very serious reality, I want people to be seen as who they are, not what they wear, what they listen to, what color their skin is, how they speak. Personality is a major, so I have to agree with this songs speaking of change, I sometimes find myself "Looking back in time" to younger years, where it was all care free. I'm "Lost in thought" Alot of the times, wondering how this world would be if we could all get along. That how I depict this song so far, i listen to it daily so perhaps ill find something for the lyrics I didnt mention

My Opinion
Cover art for Space & Time lyrics by VNV Nation

I think its about nostalgia. At first we get the consideration of things and people past, and its connection to the "design" which is your life and the life of the world around you. The remote and ever changing refers to all of these random places and people that are the constellation of relations that you have built up; remote referring to the their randomness and ever changing referring to them no longer existing as they do in his head, with all their applied meanings.

And so, we WANT to go back, we WANT to stay, but as human beings we are "lost" in space and time, incapable of controlling them we are like leaves on the wind.

The only thing which remains the same is "desire and love", the human being's underlying emotions which he holds and to a certain extant frees from the grasp of physical causality.

And so, in considering the emotion of nostalgia we get to an understanding about the reality of human existence.
