Temporary
Ella Vos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch it slip away the mystery of time
But now the quiet hours
Stay a littler a longer
Til the darker days come and
Go again when they say
I'll be fine again please, just
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
So I've changed my mind see it differently
On the other side
You're not listening to me
'Cause when the ropes all break
Nothing's gonna catch with my hands untied
Is anything the same? just
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
All the water is running
All the water is running
All the water is running out
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming now? Just
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
Tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
Don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
The lyrics of "Temporary" by Ella Vos express a sense of confusion and longing for reassurance in a world that feels uncertain and ever-changing. The opening lines convey the feeling of being lost and searching for guidance, but seeing it slip away like the passing of time. The quiet hours symbolize a metaphorical pause, a moment of solace where things seem to be stable. However, the darker days inevitably come and go, leading the singer to seek comfort in the notion that this feeling is only temporary.
The chorus emphasizes the desire for reassurance. The singer longs to hear that whatever they are experiencing is only temporary and that they will eventually find their way back to a sense of normalcy. They express the fear of being held back by someone who tries to limit their growth or keep them from pursuing their true path. The lyrics capture the internal struggle between wanting to break free and the fear of change.
In the bridge, the imagery of water running out and something coming is introduced. This could symbolize the passing of time and the approaching changes that are beyond the singer's control. They once again plead to be told that it is only temporary, seeking reassurance to navigate through the uncertainties.
Overall, "Temporary" portrays a longing for stability, clarity, and the hope that the challenges the singer is facing will eventually pass. It highlights the universal desire for reassurance and guidance when faced with uncertainty.

So I've lost my way looking for a sign
I am feeling lost and searching for guidance or direction in my life.
Watch it slip away the mystery of time
I witness the passing of time and how its enigmatic nature can elude us.
But now the quiet hours
During moments of stillness and tranquility
Stay a little longer
I wish these peaceful moments would linger and endure for a longer duration.
Til the darker days come and
Until the gloomier and more difficult times inevitably arrive
Go again when they say
And then eventually leave, as they always do.
I'll be fine again please, just
I long to feel okay once more, so please reassure me that everything will be alright.
Tell me it's only temporary
Inform me that the current situation or emotions I experience are not permanent.
When I'm here feeling ordinary, no
When I find myself in a state of normality or mediocrity, devoid of excitement or uniqueness.
Don't try and hold me
Do not attempt to restrain or impede me
If you're gonna hold me back
If your intention is to hinder or limit my progress or freedom
So I've changed my mind see it differently
I have shifted my perspective and now perceive things in an altered manner
On the other side
From a new vantage point or viewpoint
You're not listening to me
You fail to truly hear or understand what I am expressing
'Cause when the ropes all break
Because when all the restraints or limitations are removed
Nothing's gonna catch with my hands untied
Nothing will hold me back or prevent me from reaching my goals when I am free from any restrictions.
Is anything the same? just
Is there any permanence or consistency in life? Just let me know
All the water is running
The water is flowing or moving swiftly
Do you see that it's coming?
Can you perceive or recognize its imminent arrival?
Do you see that it's coming now? Just
Can you see that it is approaching rapidly? Just tell me
Tell me it's only temporary
Reassure me that whatever is happening will not last indefinitely.
All the water is running out
The water is gradually depleting or diminishing
Don't try and hold me
Do not attempt to restrain or impede me
If you're gonna hold me back
If your intention is to hinder or limit my progress or freedom
Just tell me it's only temporary
Simply assure me that this current situation is not permanent.

So I've lost my way looking for a sign
I should slip away, mystery of time
And now the quiet hours stay a little longer
Till the darker days come and go again
And they say I'll be fine again
Please just tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary
No, don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
So I've changed my mind, see it differently
On the other side they're not listening to me
'Cause when the ropes all break
Nothing's gonna catch
With my hands untied is anything the same?
Just tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary
No, don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
All the water is running
All the water is running
All the water is running out
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming?
Do you see that it's coming now?
Just tell me it's only temporary
When I'm here feeling ordinary
No, don't try and hold me
If you're gonna hold me back
Just tell me it's only temporary
