Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
In the song "Prologue" by Delaney Stein, the lyrics are a plea for the return of something that was once cherished by the singer. The lyrics start off with "Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine" which can be interpreted as the singer asking for a miraculous intervention that will bring back what once was theirs. They continue, "Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine," indicating that the loss they experienced happened some time ago and they want it returned.
The next part of the lyrics ask for a more significant change- "Heal what has been hurt, change the Fates' design." This highlights that whatever was lost has altered their life deeply, but the singer now wishes to reverse the damage that has been done. They hope to "save what has been lost" and "bring back what once was mine" one more time. The repetition of the last line reiterates the desire for restoration.
The song's message is concisely conveyed through the lyrics, and the feelings of longing and hope are evidenced in the words. It's a powerful tale of loss, and the singer's plea for healing and change. The interpretation relies heavily on context, but the words, themselves, are beautifully written.
