Past Lives
Ke$ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were lovers in a past life
I can see it in your green eyes
Maybe you were one of my wives
In a long lost tribe

There's just somethin' about you I know
Started centuries ago though
You see your kiss is like a lost ghost
Only I would know
But I, I keep on falling for you
Time after time
Time after time
I'll make you mine

Time after
Time after time
See millenniums ago love

We were nothing more than stardust
Just the galaxy beneath us
You found me
Then we made it though the ice age
But I lost you in the crusades
I build the pyramids for you babe
Just to see your face
But I, I keep on falling for you

Time after time
Time after time
I'll make you mine
Time after
Time after time

Yeah
(Time after time, time after time)
(Time after time, time after time)




(Time after time, time after time)
(Time after time, time after time)

Overall Meaning

In Ke$ha's song Past Lives, the singer describes a deep connection with someone that transcends time and exists across multiple lifetimes. She explains that she can see the familiarity in their eyes, suggesting that they have shared a previous life. The lyrics imply that in that past life, they may have been lovers, possibly even married in a tribe that no longer exists. Ke$ha notes that there's something special about this person that she recognizes from centuries ago, and she compares their kiss to a "lost ghost," which only she can understand. Despite losing each other in different historical events, such as the ice age and the crusades, Ke$ha still falls for this person "time after time," expressing her desire to make them hers once again.


The theme of past lives and reincarnation is not uncommon in literature, religion, and philosophy. Ke$ha explores this concept of love that exists beyond time and argues that we may have loved and lost our soul mates in previous lifetimes. Ke$ha hints that in each life, we have an opportunity to reconnect with our past loves and continue where we left off. As a song, it's a love letter that speaks to our romantic and spiritual longings, affirming the idea that love knows no bounds, even in death and rebirth.


Line by Line Meaning

We were lovers in a past life
In a previous incarnation, you and I were involved romantically


I can see it in your green eyes
Your eyes reveal to me that we shared a past love


Maybe you were one of my wives
It's possible that you were one of my spouses in a former life


In a long lost tribe
Our previous existence may have been in a forgotten society


There’s just somethin' about you I know
I have an unexplainable feeling about you that I can't ignore


Started centuries ago though
This intuitive sense has its roots in ancient times


You see your kiss is like a lost ghost
You possess a kiss that feels like it's from a distant, otherworldly realm


Only I would know
No one else can comprehend the significance of your kiss


But I, I keep on falling for you
Despite any obstacles or doubts, I continue to feel drawn to you


Time after time
Repeatedly, without end


I’ll make you mine
I'm determined to claim you as my own


See millenniums ago love
Our bond goes back thousands of years


We were nothing more than stardust
In a previous life, we were cosmic particles floating through space


Just the galaxy beneath us
We were together in a universe that existed long before Earth


You found me
You discovered me, and we developed a connection


Then we made it though the ice age
Together, we survived a brutal era of glacial expansion


But I lost you in the crusades
During a historical conflict, I was separated from you


I build the pyramids for you babe
In dedication to you, I constructed one of the world's greatest wonders


Just to see your face
The chance to behold your visage was worth the monumental effort
