Travel In Time Featuring Kate Havnevik
Carmen Rizzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark for you is dawn for me
Time has intervened
Summer wind is autumn breeze
Can I meet you inbetween
Will you be there
Let me hold you sight unseen
At the fall of night
Realise how much I miss you
Move from dark to light
I travel time to softly kiss you
Can I meet you inbetween
Will you be there
Let me hold you sight unseen
Still in the air
Strange...strange...strange
Will you meet me in between
I will be there
Come and hold me sight unseen
Still in the air
Strange how it can be
Time has intervened
The song "Travel in Time" by Carmen Rizzo explores the theme of distance and time in a romantic relationship. The opening lines of the song "Strange how it can be, Dark for you is dawn for me" suggests that the couple is in different time zones, and while one is experiencing darkness, the other may be experiencing daylight. This is reinforced in the line "Summer wind is autumn breeze", which suggests that they could be continents apart, experiencing different climates.
But distance and time can't keep them apart, as they attempt to find a common ground in the line "Can I meet you in between, Will you be there". The singer is asking their lover if they can meet halfway, even if it means not being physically present, "Let me hold you sight unseen, Still in the air". The singer is seeking a deeper connection, beyond the physical, as they demonstrate a longing that no amount of distance can diminish.
The chorus of the song, "At the fall of night/Realize how much I miss you/Move from dark to light/I travel time to softly kiss you", establishes that the couple is experiencing a long-distance relationship, and the singer longs for a physical connection with their lover. They are ready to do whatever it takes, even if it means traveling through time, to be with the one they love.
