Moments
Danny & The Royal Strings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And once upon a time found what I was lookin for
No reason rhyme or rhythm in my head
Frozen in time like I was walkin dead
Well that arrow placed itself and there it stuck
My brother beside me hit me like a truck
And in that moment I had found my luck
Yeah in that moment I had found my luck
And once upon a time no changing would change me
So get out of the way start following your heart
Stop saying what you say and listen from the start
Then a page ripped out and I lost what I had seen
Standing there looking straight through me
And in that moment I lost my history
In that moment I lost my history
So once upon a time I ran away and hid
And once upon a time I covered like a lid
It didn't matter what I'd take what I could get
And lose it all and trade it for some spit
I had a dream that I was old and young
Like in a scene just look what I'd become
And in that moment songs that I had sung
Yeah in that moment songs that I had sung
Once upon a time I got out the way
Once upon a time remembered how to play
Realized that I could be okay
All you need is love just for today
All you need is love just for today
All I need is love for me today
The lyrics to "Moments" by Danny & The Royal Strings tell a story of personal growth and self-discovery. The song begins with the singer recounting a moment when a girl entered their life and became what they were searching for. This encounter seems to have brought a newfound sense of purpose and happiness, as symbolized by the line "in that moment, I had found my luck."
However, as the song progresses, there is a shift in the singer's perspective. They mention a page being ripped out, which can be interpreted as a significant event or realization that caused them to lose sight of their own history. This suggests a loss of identity or a moment of confusion and uncertainty. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and feeling lost.
In the following verse, the singer reveals that they ran away and hid, covering themselves like a lid. This implies a withdrawal from the world and a desire to protect oneself. The lyrics also allude to a willingness to settle for less and to trade away important things for something insignificant, symbolized by "trade it for some spit." It seems that the singer feels like they have compromised themselves in some way.
The song takes a positive turn towards the end, as the singer reflects on learning to let go of past mistakes and taking control of their own happiness. They mention realizing that they could be okay and that love is all they need, emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment. The lyrics convey a message of self-acceptance and the recognition that love and self-love are essential for one's well-being.
Overall, "Moments" explores themes of finding oneself, losing and reclaiming one's history, and the power of love and self-acceptance. The lyrics depict a journey of personal growth, from feeling lost and compromised to rediscovering inner strength and embracing the present.

Once upon a time this girl walked through my door
There was a time when a girl entered my life unexpectedly
And once upon a time found what I was lookin for
In that same moment, I found what I had been searching for
No reason rhyme or rhythm in my head
I had no logical explanation or pattern in my thoughts
Frozen in time like I was walkin dead
I felt stuck and lifeless, unable to move forward
Well that arrow placed itself and there it stuck
A sudden and undeniable connection formed and remained
My brother beside me hit me like a truck
The impact of my brother's presence was immense
And in that moment I had found my luck
At that moment, I realized I had discovered something fortunate
Yeah in that moment I had found my luck
Yes, right then and there, I had found my luck
Yeah once upon a time no lookin I could see
There was a time when I couldn't see any future possibilities
And once upon a time no changing would change me
During that period, nothing could alter who I was
So get out of the way start following your heart
Move aside and begin to listen to your inner desires
Stop saying what you say and listen from the start
Cease speaking and truly listen from the beginning
Then a page ripped out and I lost what I had seen
Suddenly, something significant disappeared, and I lost sight of what I once understood
Standing there looking straight through me
Someone stood before me, gazing directly into my soul
And in that moment I lost my history
At that instant, I lost my past experiences and knowledge
In that moment I lost my history
Right then, I no longer held onto my personal history
So once upon a time I ran away and hid
There was a time when I escaped and concealed myself
And once upon a time I covered like a lid
During that period, I protected myself and hid my true self
It didn't matter what I'd take what I could get
I didn't care about the value or consequences, taking whatever I could obtain
And lose it all and trade it for some spit
I let go of everything and exchanged it for something insignificant
I had a dream that I was old and young
I experienced a dream where I simultaneously felt both old and young
Like in a scene just look what I'd become
Similar to a scene in a play, I witnessed the person I had transformed into
And in that moment songs that I had sung
In that moment, I recalled the songs I had previously sung
Yeah in that moment songs that I had sung
Yes, right at that moment, I remembered the songs I had sung
Once upon a time I got out the way
There was a time when I stepped aside
Once upon a time remembered how to play
During that period, I rediscovered the ability to have fun
Realized that I could be okay
I came to the realization that I could be alright
All you need is love just for today
Love is the only requirement for today, and that's enough
All I need is love for me today
Personally, all I need is love today
