Lost Time
AnachroniA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the human kind
Haunting the holy sites
Of a past time!
Whispering prayers
In an ancient language
They don't hear anymore
The march of the ages
Looking around I can feel they were here:
The men coming from a lost time
Lay(ing) on the ground, I can hear in the wind
Voices calling from a lost time
They dry their tears
As they see what became
The earth of ancestors
Where they had a name
Now lonely souls
With only the memory
We have in our blood
A part of their story
Looking around I can feel they were here:
The men coming from a lost time
Lay(ing) on the ground, I can hear in the wind
Voices calling from a lost time
My body
Is here
But my soul
Is lost in the maze of time
I see
The future
The past and the scenes of my life
And I
Wonder why
My soul is torn between these times
Wounded spirits
Of the human kind
Haunting the holy sites
Of a past time!
Whispering prayers
In an ancient language
They don't hear anymore
The march of the ages
Looking around I can feel they were here:
The men coming from a lost time
Lay(ing) on the ground, I can hear in the wind
Voices calling from a lost time
The lyrics of AnachroniA's song "Lost Time" speak about the wounded spirits of humans haunting the holy sites of a past time. The voices of ancestors whisper prayers in an ancient language nobody seems to understand anymore. The singer speaks of feeling the presence of people that were long gone, their spirits lingering on the ground, calling out from a lost time. The song speaks about the loneliness of these lost souls, now just memories that live on in the blood of their descendants. The singer wonders why their soul seems to be torn between different times, feeling lost in the maze of time as they look to the future and see scenes from their past.
The lyrics of the song seem to be about the connection between the present and the past, the way that history lives on through blood and memory, and the traces of people who once lived in holy sites. Haunted by the echoes of a lost time, the song reflects the longing to understand our ancestors better, to connect with them in spite of being separated by time.

Wounded spirits
The souls of those who have suffered great emotional pain
Of the human kind
Belonging to humanity
Haunting the holy sites
Lingering around places of significance and worship
Of a past time!
From an era long gone
Whispering prayers
Murmuring words of reverence
In an ancient language
Using words of antiquity
They don't hear anymore
No longer able to listen to themselves
The march of the ages
The steady progress of time through history
Looking around I can feel they were here:
I sense their presence in this place
The men coming from a lost time
Those who lived in an era that is now gone
Lay(ing) on the ground, I can hear in the wind
Their voices carried by the wind as they lie on the earth
Voices calling from a lost time
Echoes from the past, calling out to be heard
They dry their tears
Regain their composure
As they see what became
When they witness what has happened
The earth of ancestors
The ground upon which their forebears trod
Where they had a name
Where their identity was expressed
Now lonely souls
Those who are bereft of companionship and consolation
With only the memory
Having only the recollection
We have in our blood
Embedded in our very nature
A part of their story
A portion of their narrative
My body
My physical form
Is here
Present in this place
But my soul
The essence of my being
Is lost in the maze of time
Confused and bewildered by the passage of time
I see
I am aware of
The future
What is yet to come
The past and the scenes of my life
My personal history and the events that shaped it
And I
I, myself
Wonder why
Am puzzled about
My soul is torn between these times
My essence is divided among different eras
