Long Time
Axel Rudi Pell (feat. J.S.Soto) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you did it before,
'cause I don't need
It anymore
4 a summertime,
We were living a lie,
But who knew love
No more foolin',
'cause you' re drivin'
Me insane
You better stop moving',
Or you' re gonna feel
The pain
I its's been a long time,
It was a long time ago.
We tried everything,
Yeah, we tried it all,
Still our love would
Take a fall.
Another sleepless night,
Another endless day
The memories just
Fade away
The lyrics of Axel Rudi Pell (feat. J.S.Soto)'s song titled Long Time talks about a past pseudo-relationship that is being revisited. The singer starts by saying that he wants the woman to take her spell away because he no longer needs it. The spell likely represents the power that the woman holds over him. The singer then reminisces about the past, particularly summertime when they were living a lie, and nobody knew that their love was going to die.
The singer then goes on to indicate that he is done with the mind games that the woman is playing. He urges her to stop moving because she is driving him crazy, and if she continues, she is going to feel the pain. He is ready to break free from the cycle of pain and lies that the woman has been causing him. The chorus then comes in, indicating that it has been a long time since they had a relationship, and they have tried everything, but their love continued to take a fall. The last verse talks about how the singer is still affected by the memories of the past, and they fade away gradually.
Overall, the song's theme seems to revolve around the complexity of human relationships. It talks about how sometimes we enter into a love bubble, and everything feels perfect, but eventually, things fall apart, and we're left trying to make sense of what happened. The lyrics also talk about how some people hold power over us, and it's up to us to take back control of our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Take your spell away,
Undo your enchantment,
Like you did it before,
The way you previously did,
'cause I don't need
I no longer require it,
It anymore
That enchantment does not serve me,
4 a summertime,
It happened during a summer,
We were living a lie,
We were deceiving ourselves,
But who knew love
No one knew that love,
Was gonna die.
Would come to an end,
No more foolin',
No more pretending,
'cause you're drivin'
Because you're making me,
Me insane.
As if I'm insane,
You better stop moving',
I advise you halt any movement,
Or you' re gonna feel
Or you'll experience,
The pain
Some form of pain,
It's been a long time,
It's been a significant duration of time,
It was a long time ago.
The event happened long ago,
We tried everything,
We tried numerous alternatives,
Yeah, we tried it all,
Yes, we tried everything possible,
Still our love would
Despite it all, our love kept
Take a fall.
Failing,
Another sleepless night,
Another night of insomnia,
Another endless day
Another day that seems never-ending,
The memories just
Those memories,
Fade away
Gradually disappear,
