Time Machine
Jamaram Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
There ain't nobody home today
But I'm gonna be ok
Sometimes it's really hard when I'm trying to explain
What's going on in my heart
What's running through my vains
And I never ever wanted to wake up in this weather - whether
Or not it was clever to sever our relationship
I tried to reach out for your hand
But their's nothing there to hold on to
Was it me or was it you that just wouldn't budge how can you
Explain to me cause I don't think I understand and it's overdue
Tell me what you want cause I just don't get what to do

Chorus:
Won't you tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what to say
And put it in a timemachine
And it's never what we want
It's never what it seems
We live in an illusion
Until we face reality
Can't you tell me what to do
Tell me where to go
Tell me what to think
'cause I just don't know
I know things never stay the same
We are bound to change
Now I'm living in the past
And I wanna go back again

Verse 2:
And if I could go back in time
And if I could give it just one more try
I would save you the tears
I would save you all the crying
Cause girl it seems you were never meant to be mine
I tried to reach out for your hand
But their's nothing there to hold on to
Was it me or was it you that just wouldn't budge how can you
Explain to me cause I don't think I understand and it's overdue
Tell me what you want cause I just don't get what to do

Chorus:
Won't you tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what to say
And put it in a timemachine
And it's never what we want
It's never what it seems
We live in an illusion
Until we face reality
Can't you tell me what to do
Tell me where to go
Tell me what to think
'cause I just don't know
I know things never stay the same
We are bound to change
Now I'm living in the past
And I wanna go back again

Outro:




Send it on a piece of paper
Don't you leave the change for later...

Overall Meaning

The song Time Machine by Jamaram is about trying to understand and make sense of past relationships. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship and is searching for answers as to why it didn't work out. They are feeling lost and directionless, seeking guidance and clarity from their former partner. The chorus begs for insight and understanding, asking their former partner to tell them what they want, what they need, and what to say, and to put it in a time machine, suggesting that the singer wishes they could go back in time and fix things. The singer recognizes that things never stay the same, and that change is inevitable, but they are caught up in their memories and nostalgia for the past. The outro suggests a desire for communication and closure, asking their former partner to send their thoughts on a piece of paper and not to delay the opportunity for change.


Overall, the song Time Machine is about the universal human experience of trying to come to terms with past relationships, and the desire to understand and find closure. It touches on themes of change, acceptance, and the difficulty of communication.

Comece estudar inglês, porque nessa vibe que ele canta
Você pega pela a letra
Quando me passaram essa música, tava com o título "melô da eva"
Quando eu fui procurar no YouTube, tinha várias músicas com esse título, menos essa. Coloquei "time machine" apareceu filmes, Alicia Keys e outros artistas, menos esse artista, coloquei uma parte da letra, e ainda não apareceu nos primeiros vídeos, fui achar lá em baixo. Hoje eu só coloco "time machine reggae" quando esqueço o nome do artista.
