Trapped In Space And Time
Priestess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sit alone in a field
It's hard to filter the things you feel
I let this go with no eyes
I'm trapped in space and I'm trapped in time

Everyday, everyday that you're gone
Everyday that you're gone
I dragged myself to the street
There's no escaping my own defeat
My parents are an unknown
I'm in my house but I can't find home

Everyday, everyday that you're gone
Everyday that you're gone
Five long years
I shoved you out, all of these tears falling
Five long years
To end this drought, now I can hear you calling

What I can't have I can dream
But there's a tear across every seam
All that was silver is chrome
All that was spirit is turned to stone

Everyday, everyday that you're gone
Everyday that you're gone
Five long years
I shoved you out, all of these tears falling
Five long years
To end this drought, now I can hear you calling

Someone led me from the light
I'll regret it all my life
Someone led me from the light
I'll regret it all my life

I cut you out of the deal
I never thought it would be this real
I'm lost inside this design
I'm trapped in space and I'm trapped in time

Everyday, everyday that you're gone
Everyday that you're gone
Everyday you're gone




Everyday you're gone
Everyday that you're gone

The song ends on a despairing note as the singer confesses to cutting the person out of their life, regretting their decision and feeling even more trapped in their current state.


Overall, "Trapped in Space and Time" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of loss, loneliness, and regret. The lyrics capture the feeling of being caught in a cycle of pain and despair, unable to break free from one's own thoughts and emotions.
