Time Machine
Natsumiii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starin' at stars
Watching the moon
Hoping that one day they'll lead me to you
Wait every night
'Cause if a star falls
I'll wish to go back to the times that I loved
Why do the stars shine so bright in the sky
If most of the people are sleeping at night?
Why do we only have one chance at life?
I wish I could go back in time

Pictures remind me of things I forgot
But also of all of the things that I've lost
Can't get them back, they won't fall from above
So I try to forget all the times that I've loved

Why do we remember bеautiful lies?
We end up rеgretting them most of our lives
Why do we only have one chance to try?
I wish I could go back in time

Each time I fall asleep
I always see you there in my dreams
It's like going in a time machine
I know when I wake up your time with me will end
So don't let me fall asleep (Fall asleep)
I don't wanna meet you there in my dreams (In my dreams)
I know that we'll never build a time machine (Time machine)
It's time for me
To try, and wake up again

I fall asleep (Fall asleep)
But honestly (Honestly)
I wanna see you in my dreams




I'm trying to wake up
Again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Natsumiii's song "Time Machine" evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer reflects on lost moments and the passage of time. The song begins with the singer gazing at the stars and the moon, yearning for a connection that transcends physical distance. The imagery of wishing on a falling star to return to cherished memories highlights the theme of wanting to revisit the past and relive moments of love and happiness. The juxtaposition of the bright stars against the sleeping world below questions the meaning and purpose of life's fleeting moments and the yearning for a second chance.


The mention of pictures triggering memories of both forgotten and lost things further emphasizes the theme of nostalgia and the inability to reclaim what has been lost. The singer grapples with the pain of lost love and the struggle to move forward while carrying the weight of past regrets and missed opportunities. The questioning of why we hold onto beautiful lies and why life only offers one chance speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with regrets and the desire for a do-over.


The recurring motif of falling asleep and encountering the beloved in dreams as a form of time travel symbolizes the singer's desire to escape the confines of reality and reunite with a lost love. The bittersweet realization that these dream encounters are temporary and fleeting adds a layer of melancholy to the narrative. Despite the longing to stay in the dream world, the singer acknowledges the need to face reality and wake up, accepting that building a literal time machine is impossible.


The closing lines of the song reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer grapples with the conflicting emotions of wanting to see the beloved in dreams yet also striving to awaken and confront the present. The internal conflict between the desire to escape into the past and the necessity of moving forward underscores the poignant themes of lost time, unfulfilled dreams, and the inevitability of change. Overall, "Time Machine" captures the universal longing for a chance to rewrite the past and the poignant realization that time marches on, leaving dreams and memories in its wake.

thank you so much

Time Machine introduces the mirror portal. Difficulty is increased as triple spike arrangements are frequent and antigravity segments become routine, also occurring during the final ship sequence.

A cube sequence takes place from 0% to 35%, while under the effects of the mirror portal from 29%;
A ship sequence from 35% to 43%, with the mirror portal's effects sustained;
A cube sequence from 43% to 92%, with the mirror portal's effects ceasing at 57%, continuing at 71%, ceasing at 78%, continuing at 85% and ceasing at 89%;
And a ship sequence from 92% to 100%.

he dumped me after 2 years together. i thought i was special, we were special. i regret meeting him from the start, i regret fighting and losing many things for him. but most of all i hate that i can't stop loving him. everyday i wake up and it just feels like he's still with me, he's still the first person i think about when i open my eyes. i never loved any phases in my life until he came into it, he gave me the most beautiful time and memories i have ever had, but now i wish it had never happened. i wish he had never stepped into my life just to walk away destroying everything. i wish i would never have to suffer this kind of pain. i wish i have a time machine.

@asuragale_7709

i feel you, im going through the same thing rn

@user-su5po1nu8s

Haha you're not the only one

@fandysantoso7980

Going back in time won't make the pain go away bcs the memories of your previous future life still intact. It will only create a time paradox if you happen to meet your past self, creating a disturbance in spacetime will possibly a doom to humanity

@ASHRAF_ISKANDAR

I have always thought like that... but every meeting that has been destined must have its own wisdom.

@bondantrisetyoprihanto3230

Hey there? How are you right now? Did you feel better? 😁

Đợt mới chia tay nghe bài này miết, lúc nào nghe cũng khóc lên khóc xuống. Giờ nhìn lại cũng đã 1 năm hơn trôi qua rồi, tất cả đều thay đổi, dần dần move on và healing và đón nhận được nhiều điều tốt đẹp đến với cuộc sống. Thật ra, chuyện gì xảy ra thì cũng nên xảy ra. Việc gì đã qua, hãy để nó qua. Just rmb to focus on yourself, don’t try to distract and to ignore healing ur wound. You live your life, not them.
