Timeless
HYLLS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comes from the darkest nights
Led by starry lights
I walk for many miles
The longest days
Are when I have paid
My dues in droves
And so I wait
I won't fully know until I break
Pass over the valley once I am brave
One step could take me all the way
Slowly I might reach my destiny
I wonder what′s on the other side of risk
I trekked with all of that heavyweight
Eventually I might meet the day
All of my life
I looked for the signs
To get to a place
Where I would be fine
The wildest of skies
Follow stormy nights
And I hope I leave something
Timeless behind

The following lines speak to the idea that hard work and perseverance are essential to achieving success. "The longest days are when I have paid my dues in droves, and so I wait. Maybe I'll stumble and go astray, I won't fully know until I break."

As the song progresses, the lyrics speak to the idea that our destinies are often determined by the choices we make. "Pass over the valley once I am brave, one step could take me all the way. Slowly I might reach my destiny, I wonder what's on the other side of risk." The songwriter is acknowledging that life is unpredictable, but by taking chances and being brave, we can create our destiny and discover what lies beyond our comfort zones.
In the final verse, the lyrics speak to the desire to leave a lasting impact on the world. "All of my life I looked for the signs, to get to a place where I would be fine. The wildest of skies follow stormy nights, and I hope I leave something timeless behind."
