Moments
Machiavel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don t know why or when
It surprises you
Hours slip by like sources
And we would like to drink
It is the death-struggle
Of the present time
And the room empties
"Supper s ready" we were listening to
one moment ago is fading away
What will remain from all these hours
And all those days which
Have branded our life
What will remain from all those things
We believed in so hard
There is behind my prayer of smog
Some crumbs of life which are frosted
In the ante-room of suicide
Some moments everything s wonderful
And we are care free about the future
And then you carry me away
Into a strange night ballet
Oh time if you could only delay longer
And leave towards hap-hasards roads
Taken one morning
Sometimes we should like to roll
like a rock down in the water
And the fog to lift
Those fabulous moments are shortlived
And we wake up
With the delicious firefly s song
Which mingles with colours
And the music goes on...
Like the river joins the ocean...
The song "Moments" by Machiavel is a reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the brief amazing moments that punctuate our lives. The lyrics describe the sudden pause of time that surprises us and causes us to reflect on the present moment. The song further describes how in these moments, everything is wonderful, and we are carefree about the future. However, these moments soon pass, and we wake up to the realization that they were short-lived. The song raises the question about what we will remember from all those hours and days of our lives and what will remain of the things we believed in so strongly.
The lyrics of "Moments" provide a beautiful and insightful reflection on the transience of life and the importance of cherishing the brief but amazing moments that come our way. It encourages us to appreciate life's little pleasures and to hold on to the beautiful memories that make life worthwhile.
