Sooner or Later
Little Bitchard feat. Trifonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How happy we are today
The feeling will only escape
No matter who we blame it on
When the thrill is gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
This could be the best we got
And what we got is on our hands
Are you going to the countdown?
Sooner or later it’s all in the past
Sooner or later it floats above the glass
Sooner or later it breaks inside the cast
Sooner or later…

Concrete rubble for concrete dreams
Grains of sand swimming in the sea




Passing trains, all the passing trees
Can you heed the whistle please?

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics present a sense of fleeting happiness. The singer acknowledges that although they may currently feel happy, that feeling will eventually escape them. They also emphasize that blaming someone else for the loss of this happiness is fruitless, as once the thrill is gone, it is truly gone. The line "This could be the best we got" suggests that the present moment might be as good as it gets, and the singer asks if the listener will join them in the countdown, implying a sentiment of anticipation or reflection on the passing of time.


The chorus, "Sooner or later it's all in the past, Sooner or later it floats above the glass, Sooner or later it breaks inside the cast," reaffirms the transitory nature of experiences and emotions. It highlights that everything eventually becomes a part of the past, whether it be happiness or any other aspects of life. The metaphorical imagery of floating above the glass and breaking inside the cast conveys a sense of breaking free from limitations and confinement, indicating that these transient feelings eventually find their own release or resolution.


The following verse introduces contrasting imagery of concrete rubble and concrete dreams, suggesting a stark contrast between the reality of life's challenges and the aspirations or hopes one may have. The mention of grains of sand swimming in the sea implies a sense of being overwhelmed or lost in the vastness of life's circumstances. The passing trains and trees might symbolize the fleeting moments and experiences that pass us by in life's journey. The line "Can you heed the whistle please?" can be seen as a metaphorical call to pay attention or take notice of these passing moments, urging the listener to be mindful of the intricacies and significance of their own experiences.


Overall, the song's lyrics explore themes of transience and the impermanence of emotions and experiences. It encourages the listener to embrace the present moment, acknowledge the fleeting nature of happiness, and find meaning in the passing of time and the various ups and downs of life.
