The Moments I'm Missing
Ranji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had a dream when I was only 5
To work at a bar
I wanted to see over the other side
And I had a friend
Her name was Fern and she had a blue bike
So we'd ride through the streets
And I would sleep over on Saturday nights
My family moved to a village nearby
At 13 years old
I started drawing black under my eyes
'Cause I met a boy
First time I kissed him, well it was the last
'Cause I got afraid
When everyone there started moving too fast
(Moving too fast, moving too fast, moving too fast, moving too fast)
(Moving too fast, moving too fast, moving too fast, moving too fast)
Everyone there started moving too fast
I had a dream
I had a dream when I was only 5
To work at a bar
I wanted to see over the other side
And I had a friend
Her name was Fern and she had a blue bike
So we'd ride through the streets
And I would sleep over on Saturday nights
Then I went to school
My family moved to a village nearby
At 13 years old
I started drawing black under my eyes
'Cause I met a boy
First time I kissed him, well it was the last
'Cause I got afraid
When everyone there started moving too fast
I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream
I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream, I had a dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream
These are the moments
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I never took in when
I was just standing there wishing
I could grow up and my life would be different
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments
'Cause I've been so caught in the motions
Forgotten where my home is
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
The Moments I'm Missing, a song by Ranji, is a reflective tune that speaks of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of being present in the moment. The lyrics capture the singer's memories and longings for the past, as she recounts a childhood dream she once had of working at a bar and witnessing life from that side of the counter. The dream was fuelled by a desire to explore and see beyond her current situation. She had a friend named Fern, and they would ride bikes together and hang out on the weekends.
As time went on, the singer experienced changes in her life, including her family's move to a nearby village when she was 13 years old. She also had her first kiss, which ended abruptly due to her fear of the world moving too quickly around her. Looking back, Ranji reflects on the moments that she missed and the ones she wishes she had taken in more. She is caught up in the motions of life and has forgotten where her true home is. Perhaps her real home resides in the moments she's missing, in the present moment where she should be living her life instead of wishing for something more.
This song is a poignant reminder that life moves quickly and that it's easy to miss out on the simple moments that make life worth living. It encourages listeners to slow down and appreciate the little things in life that may seem inconsequential at the time but are essential in shaping our futures.
