Time Piece
Kevin Krauter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wandering you are the light that I'm following
The weary voices in the dark are calling out and I begin to walk
And every star is shining down on me alone, on me and no one else
Lord, let me walk in your garden
Lay me, lay me down on the roses
Keep me in your right hand
The hollow place from where I come
Some memory that I must soon forget
The heart's a hallway vast and hushed
And far away I hear your subtle steps
The lyrics in Kevin Krauter's song Time Piece is a reflection on memory and one's journey through life. Krauter presents the idea that time is the opposite of one's memories, as time constantly moves forward while memories remain in the past. The lines "Time piece antithesis of my memories / Wandering you are the light that I'm following" suggest that memories can be a guide for the future, but can also be a hindrance as they can hold one back from moving forward. The mention of the "weary voices in the dark" could represent the doubts and fears that one may face while trying to move forward in life. However, Krauter finds comfort in the idea that every star is shining down on him alone, giving him the motivation to keep going.

Time piece antithesis of my memories
A clock that contradicts my recollections
Wandering you are the light that I'm following
You are the guiding light that leads me on my journey
The weary voices in the dark are calling out and I begin to walk
I hear tired voices in the darkness, and I commence walking
And every star is shining down on me alone, on me and no one else
Each star illuminates only me and nobody else
Lord, let me walk in your garden
God, allow me to stroll through your paradise
Lay me, lay me down on the roses
Place me gently upon the bed of roses
Keep me in your right hand
Hold me always in your powerful right hand
The hollow place from where I come
The empty space from which I originated
Some memory that I must soon forget
A recollection that I'll need to erase from my mind sooner rather than later
The heart's a hallway vast and hushed
The heart seems like a quiet and expansive corridor
And far away I hear your subtle steps
Your faint footsteps can be heard in the distance
