Longtime
Atili Bandalero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i gotta let you know
that you're really on my mind
maybe i've got to let you leave
It's like a daydream in a cloud of smoke
i find it hard to breathe then start to choke
i got to liberate myself
i've never made a choice as hard as this
they say ignorance is alway bliss
i find this habit so hard to kick
but i need to find my self again
it's been a really longtime
i gotta let you know
that you're really on my mind
maybe i've got to let you leave
it's been a really longtime
i gotta let you know
that you're really on my mind
maybe i've got to let you leave
i sold the future to the past
meanwhile life moves so fast
i've got no time to loose my friend
hanging by a thread
has we're walking on thin ice
i ask myself why the sacrifice
apreciate the colors again
cause the magic never ends
it's been a really longtime
i gotta let you know
that you're really on my mind
maybe i've got to let you leave
The lyrics of Atili Bandalero's song "Longtime" depict a person struggling to come to terms with their emotional attachment to someone they have not seen in a long time. The singer acknowledges that the person they are thinking of is consistently on their mind, but they recognize that it might be time to let them go. The lyrics suggest that the person's memory is holding them back from moving forward in their life, which is depicted as moving so fast that they cannot afford to lose any more time.
The imagery used in the song is particularly striking, with the reference to a "daydream in a cloud of smoke" and how it is hard to breathe and starts to choke when the singer thinks about this person. The lyrics indicate that this negative feeling might be linked to a bad habit or addiction that the singer needs to quit to find themselves again, even if it is a difficult choice to make.
The song's message seems to be one of self-preservation and moving on from harmful memories or relationships. It suggests that sometimes, we might need to make hard choices in order to move forward in life and keep up with its fast pace.
