Million Years Ago
BEDROOM - Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Learning to fly, learning to run
I let my heart decide the way
When I was young
Deep down, I must have always known
That this would be inevitable
To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay
And bare my soul
I know I'm not the only one
Who regrets the things they've done
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
Who can't stand the reflection that they see
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother, I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago
When I walk around all of the streets
Where I grew up and found my feet
They can't look me in the eye
It's like they're scared of me
I try to think of things to say
Like a joke or a memory
But they don't recognize me now
In the light of day
I know I'm not the only one
Who regrets the things they've done
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
Who never became who they thought they'd be
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother, I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago
A million years ago
In "Million Years Ago" by Adele, the song explores the theme of nostalgia and the longing for the past. The lyrics depict a sense of regret and sadness, as the singer reflects on their younger self and the choices they made. The song opens with the admission that the singer only wanted to have fun and explore life, but deep down, they always knew that their actions would have consequences. They acknowledge that in order to achieve their goals and gain recognition ("earn my stripes"), they would have to pay a price and expose their vulnerable side ("bare my soul").
The chorus reveals the singer's feelings of isolation and self-doubt. They believe that they are the only one who regrets their past actions and cannot stand the reflection of who they have become. The longing to live more fully and not be consumed by daily routine is expressed, as they yearn to look beyond the mundane and experience life's beauty ("look up to the sky"). The singer feels that time is slipping away as they watch their life pass by, leading to a sense of helplessness and sadness.
In the second verse, the singer walks around the streets where they grew up, but they feel a disconnect from their past. People from their hometown avoid eye contact, as if they are afraid of the person the singer has become. The lyrics suggest that the singer has changed and no longer fits into the mold of who they used to be, causing a loss of recognition and connection.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's belief that they are not alone in their regrets, but there is a sense of personal disappointment that they have not become the person they had envisioned. The longing for a more fulfilling life and the nostalgia for past joys are expressed again. The song closes with the realization that life has moved on, and the carefree days of parties and celebration feel like a distant memory.
Overall, "Million Years Ago" captures feelings of regret, longing, and the passage of time. It speaks to the universal experience of growing older and reflecting on the choices and experiences that shaped us.

And bare my soul
I had to reveal my true self and vulnerabilities

When I walk around all of the streets
As I wander through familiar streets
Where I grew up and found my feet
Where I matured and learned to become independent
They can't look me in the eye
People avoid making eye contact with me
It's like they're scared of me
It seems like they are afraid or intimidated by me
I try to think of things to say
I make an effort to come up with conversational topics
Like a joke or a memory
Such as a humorous remark or a shared past experience
But they don't recognize me now
They no longer acknowledge or identify me
In the light of day
Under normal circumstances
Who never became who they thought they'd be
Who didn't fulfill their own expectations and aspirations
I wish I could live a little more
I desire to experience life to a greater extent
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
To have a broader perspective and focus on possibilities rather than limitations
I feel like my life is flashing by
I sense that time is passing quickly
And all I can do is watch and cry
And all I can do is observe and feel emotional
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I long for the freedom and companionship I once had
I miss my mother, I miss it when
I yearn for the presence and care of my mother, and for the past times
Life was a party to be thrown
Life used to be a joyous celebration
But that was a million years ago
But it feels like an eternity since then
A million years ago
A metaphorical expression referring to a distant past

Eu só queria me divertir
Aprender a voar, aprender a correr
Eu deixei meu coração decidir o caminho
Quando eu era jovem
No fundo, eu provavelmente sempre soube
Que isso seria inevitável
Para ser melhor, eu teria que pagar
E carregar minha alma
Sei que não sou a única
Que se arrepende das coisas que faz
Às vezes sinto que sou só eu
Que não aguenta o reflexo do que vê
Queria poder viver um pouco mais
Olhar para céu, não apenas para o chão
Sinto como se minha vida estivesse passando rápido demais
E tudo que posso fazer é assistir e chorar
Sinto falta do ar, dos meus amigos
Sinto falta da minha mãe, sinto falta de quando
A vida era uma festa a ser feita
Mas isso foi a milhões de anos atrás
Quando ando por todas as ruas
Em que cresci e encontrei meus pés
Eles não podem me olhar nos olhos
É como se tivessem medo de mim
Eu tento pensar em coisas para dizer
Como uma piada ou uma memória
Mas eles não me reconhecem agora
Na luz do dia
Sei que não sou a única
Que se arrepende das coisas que faz
Às vezes sinto que sou só eu
Que não se tornou quem eles pensavam que se tornaria
Queria poder viver um pouco mais
Olhar para céu, não apenas para o chão
Sinto como se minha vida estivesse passando rápido demais
E tudo que posso fazer é assistir e chorar
Sinto falta do ar, dos meus amigos
Sinto falta da minha mãe, sinto falta de quando
A vida era uma festa a ser feita
Mas isso foi a milhões de anos atrás
Milhões de anos atrás

Let me fix you.
The original lyrics:
Já tive mulheres de todas as cores
De várias idades de muitos amores
Com umas até certo tempo fiquei
Pra outras apenas um pouco me dei
Já tive mulheres do tipo atrevida
Do tipo acanhada, do tipo vivida
Casada carente, solteira feliz
Já tive donzela e até meretriz
Mulheres "cabeça" e desequilibradas
Mulheres confusas de guerra e de paz
Mas nenhuma delas me fez tão feliz como você me faz
Procurei em todas as mulheres a felicidade
Mas eu não encontrei e fiquei na saudade
Foi começando bem mas tudo teve um fim
Você é o sol da minha vida a minha vontade
Você não é mentira você é verdade
É tudo que um dia eu sonhei pra mim.

מושקי ויצמן
רציתי רק ליהנות
I only wanted to have fun
לומדים לעוף, לומדים לרוץ
Learning to fly, learning to run
נתתי ללב שלי להחליט את הדרך
I let my heart decide the way
כשהייתי צעיר
When I was young
עמוק בפנים, כנראה תמיד ידעתי
Deep down, I must have always known
שזה יהיה בלתי נמנע
That this would be inevitable
כדי להרוויח את הפסים שלי, אצטרך לשלם
To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay
וחשוף את נשמתי
And bare my soul
אני יודע שאני לא היחיד
I know I'm not the only one
שמתחרט על הדברים שהם עשו
Who regrets the things they've done
לפעמים אני פשוט מרגיש שזה רק אני
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
מי לא יכול לסבול את ההשתקפות שהם רואים
Who can't stand the reflection that they see
הלוואי שיכולתי לחיות קצת יותר
I wish I could live a little more
הביטו למעלה לשמיים, לא רק לרצפה
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
אני מרגישה שהחיים שלי מבזיקים
I feel like my life is flashing by
וכל מה שאני יכול לעשות זה לראות ולבכות
And all I can do is watch and cry
אני מתגעגע לאוויר, אני מתגעגע לחברים שלי
I miss the air, I miss my friends
אני מתגעגע לאמא שלי, אני מתגעגע לזה מתי
I miss my mother, I miss it when
החיים היו מסיבה שצריך לערוך
Life was a party to be thrown
אבל זה היה לפני מיליון שנה
But that was a million years ago
כשאני מסתובב בכל הרחובות
When I walk around all of the streets
איפה שגדלתי ומצאתי את רגלי
Where I grew up and found my feet
הם לא יכולים להסתכל לי בעיניים
They can't look me in the eye
זה כאילו הם מפחדים ממני
It's like they're scared of me
אני מנסה לחשוב על דברים להגיד
I try to think of things to say
כמו בדיחה או זיכרון
Like a joke or a memory
אבל הם לא מזהים אותי עכשיו
But they don't recognize me now
לאור היום
In the light of day
אני יודע שאני לא היחיד
I know I'm not the only one
שמתחרט על הדברים שהם עשו
Who regrets the things they've done
לפעמים אני פשוט מרגיש שזה רק אני
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
שמעולם לא הפכו למי שהם חשבו שהם יהיו
Who never became who they thought they'd be
הלוואי שיכולתי לחיות קצת יותר
I wish I could live a little more
הביטו למעלה לשמיים, לא רק לרצפה
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
אני מרגישה שהחיים שלי מבזיקים
I feel like my life is flashing by
וכל מה שאני יכול לעשות זה לראות ולבכות
And all I can do is watch and cry
אני מתגעגע לאוויר, אני מתגעגע לחברים שלי
I miss the air, I miss my friends
אני מתגעגע לאמא שלי, אני מתגעגע לזה מתי
I miss my mother, I miss it when
החיים היו מסיבה שצריך לערוך
Life was a party to be thrown
אבל זה היה לפני מיליון שנה
But that was a million years ago
לפני מיליון שנים

Ahmet Kaya : Acilara Tutunmak
Holding On To Bitterness
If suffering is freedom
We are both free
That homeless wren
I'm a caged canary
That entangled branch from branch to branch
tossed his heart
I divided my heart
To the rebellious verses
Seeking but loving
Longing but loving
Finding and losing
an imaginary toy
It's all a lie
It's all a lie
There is something to love
There is no such thing as love
I suffered for days
I suffered in silence
In this short stay
In earthquake turmoil
I lived a few thousand years
Holding on to the pain
If suffering is freedom
We are both free
remnant of pain
Here are the looks
In your eyes as mist
Sunset is clouds
It's all a lie
It's all a lie
There's a swept away
in separate orbits

Women
Versions: #1#2
I've already had women
Of every color
Of every ages
Of every loves
With some of them
I stay a certain time
With other
I just hang out a little time
I've already had women
Kind of daring
Kind of shy
Kind of mature
Married women, needy women
Single, happy women
I've had maidens
And even whores
Wise women
And maniac women
Confused women
War women and peace women
But none of them
Made me as happy
As you make me feel
I've looked for
The happiness in
All the women
But I could not find
And I kept on longing
All began well
But all ended
You are
The sun of my life
You're my wish
You are not a lie
You are the truth
You everything
I dreamed for me
I've already had women
Of every color
Of every ages
Of every loves
With some of them
I stay a certain time
With other
I just hang out a little time
I've already had women
Kind of daring
Kind of shy
Kind of mature
Married women, needy women
Single, happy women
I've had maidens
And even whores
Wise women
And maniac women
Confused women
War women and peace women
But none of them
Made me as happy
As you make me feel
I've looked for
The happiness in
All the women
But I could not find
And I kept on longing
All began well
But all ended
You are
The sun of my life
You're my wish
You are not a lie
You are the truth
You everything
I dreamed for me

Listen to Martinho da Vila - Mulheres.
Denise Allen
It's a shame that is a copy from a Brazilian song.
Karina Vera
I cry with this song as it says how my mother was feeling when she was battling cancer. Throughout the whole process, she was missing my grandmother who was back in our country and incapable of traveling to us. Now that she is gone I listen to this and it's like if my mom was alive singing this. What a sad time she went through I just hope she feels better now.

I’m sending you positive energy love.Your mom is so proud of you&she’s happy,free now.<33xo
