The Years
††† Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sleep, I'm in your head
so watch you
With castles, I'm in your dreams
watch me

As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
we sing

Watching the holy ghost, watch you
In a battle you may have won, by mistake

As the years go by
I crawl through your veins
As the years go by
I crawl through your head
As the years go by,
Weaving

As the years go by,
Weaving
And the years go by
We crawl through our veins
And the years go by




We crawl through our heads
Weaving

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are open to interpretation and could be understood in a multitude of ways. At its core, it seems to be exploring the idea of someone being constantly on another person's mind, whether awake or asleep. The singer reveals that they are in the other person's head and dreams, suggesting a deep connection or even obsession. The repeated lines about crawling through the other person's veins and head emphasize this closeness and perhaps the idea that they are intertwined or even reliant on one another.


The inclusion of the phrase "watching the holy ghost" adds a layer of religious or spiritual imagery to the song, although it's unclear exactly what it means in this context. The line "in a battle you may have won, by mistake" is also interesting and suggests that perhaps the other person has defeated something or someone, but it was unintentional or surprising in some way.


Overall, these lyrics create a sense of intimacy and closeness between two people, as well as exploring themes of dreaming, spirituality, and victory.

Whenever someone likes my comment, I will be reminded of everything this song says because definitely everything I want will manifest in my life this year.

It may not look like it yet, but I know God is working out so much for me even before I call.

Thank you Jesus for the well paying jobs I will get this year.

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed away 15 metres away while she was inside. I thank God she survived and the baby is okay. God is great.
