How many times
Elderbrook Andhim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this the sky?
Is this the sky?
When I lay out
How many times
How many times
We had laid out?
You can't decide how to divide
What you laid out
And all the lines you drew
You didn't find what you set out to
Set out to, set out

So many lines
So many lines
That you thought out
It's no surprise, you're shaking eyes
Get you cold out
A little time, a little time
But it's alright
And all the lines you drew
You didn't find what you set out to
Set out to, set out




Set out to, set out
Oh, you set out to

Overall Meaning

The song "How Many Times" by Elderbrook Andhim is an emotional track that reflects the emotions and thoughts of a person who is trying to reflect on their past decisions and mistakes in life. The opening lines of the song, "Is this the sky? When I lay out, how many times we had laid out?" reflects the confusion and sense of disorientation the person is feeling. They are questioning the very foundation of their beliefs and whether their past choices have shaped their present reality.


As the song progresses, the person reflects on how many times they have made decisions and laid plans that did not come to fruition, and how many times they found themselves lost and confused. In the lines "You can't decide how to divide what you laid out, and all the lines you drew, you didn't find what you set out to, set out to, set out," the person is acknowledging the consequences of their actions and how they never found the outcome that they were looking for.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "All the lines you drew, you didn't find what you set out to, set out to, set out," emphasizing the theme of disappointment and disillusionment. The overall reflective tone of the song suggests that the person is trying to come to terms with their past and move forward in a positive direction.

When I lay out
When I relax and lay down


How many times
How many times have we done this?


How many times
How many times have we done this?


We had laid out?
Have we ever relaxed like this before?


You can't decide how to divide
You don't know how to split up


What you laid out
What you relaxed and laid down


And all the lines you drew
And all the rules you made


You didn't find what you set out to
You didn't find what you were looking for


Set out to, set out
Intentionally wanted to do something, but didn't reach the goal


So many lines
So many rules


So many lines
So many rules


That you thought out
That you created


It's no surprise, you're shaking eyes
It's not surprising that your eyes are shaking


Get you cold out
Warm up


A little time, a little time
Take a little bit of time


But it's alright
But everything's okay


And all the lines you drew
And all the rules you made


You didn't find what you set out to
You didn't find what you were looking for


Set out to, set out
Intentionally wanted to do something, but didn't reach the goal


Set out to, set out
Intentionally wanted to do something, but didn't reach the goal


Oh, you set out to
Oh, you had a goal in mind

just a part of the lyrics :
is this the sky? Is this the sky?
When I play out
HOW MANY TIMES,
HOW MANY TIMES,
We had laid out?
You can't decide how to divide
What you laid out
And all the lines you drew
You didn't find what you set out to
Set out to, set out, 

So many lines, so many lines
That you thought out
It's no surprise, you're shaking eyes
Get you cold out
A little time, a little time
But it's alright
And all the lines you drew
You didn't find what you set out to
Set out to, set out, 
Set out to, set out, 
Oh, you set out to
