Time Goes
Carrie Skipper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found your home somewhere
Now you've reached the end
The game seems so unkind
When this moment ends
You'll look back to see
The love you left behind

The closer the feeling
The more you recognise
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
(I always remember)

No more holding on
To a fading memory
Of how things used to be
Life will carry on
Love will always be your guide
If you just set me free

The closer the feeling
The more you recognize
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
You looked and me and said

Time goes by
From the point of no return
You've gotta be strong enough to learn
Time goes by




The love you leave behind
Builds a temple in your mind

Overall Meaning

In Carrie Skipper's song "Time Goes", she addresses the idea of moving on from a past love and coming to terms with the present moment. The first stanza speaks to the feeling of finding a home with someone and the difficulty in saying goodbye when that love comes to an end. The second stanza delves into the bittersweet memories that come with the realization that the love is fading. The chorus is about taking the time to reflect on the past, while also looking ahead to the future. Skipper urges the listener to embrace the present and let go of the memory of a past love, as life and love will continue to guide them forward.


The lyrics "The closer the feeling, the more you recognize, familiar the faces reflected in your eyes" suggest that as time passes, the memories of the former love will become more ingrained and familiar. Ultimately, this love will create a temple in your mind that can never be destroyed, although it can certainly be put aside to make room for new experiences.


Overall, "Time Goes" is a song that speaks to the human experience of moving on from a past love, while holding onto the memories of that love. The song beautifully communicates the emotions of reflection, gratitude, and moving forward with love as a guide.

4:55 cuts through bone and marrow and then the buildup at 5:22. This track is pure perfection, trance doesn't get any better then this.
