As Time Goes By
S.O. Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My whole life I felt like I've been on a mission
Searching for something that's always been real distant
Looking everywhere but no one see's my vision
& Time Goes By, All I choose to do is fight my feelings
All on the line
Got no choice but to find the light
World so dark & it is so cold
Who can I trust to be by my side
All I got is mine
Heartless, keep everyone out my life
Packed my bags & I had to leave
Mama didn't want me to leave her side
Time Goes By
Never thought I would see the day that I
Feel so free & be overseas
Making memories that don't feel like mine
& I know that I
Am far from perfect but at least I try
Do what I gotta do to make some bread
Dream a life where I don't punch the time
So much sacrifice
When will it make sense to my mind
Keep everything inside my head
Never trust no one to let inside
No matter what I shine
Keep it real to myself & my time
Don't you worry about me alright
I promise I'll make it through the night
Time Goes By
When my stars align
I know my dreams are mine
My whole life I felt like I've been on a mission
Searching for something that's always been real distant
Looking everywhere but no one see's my vision
& Time Goes By, All I choose to do is fight my feelings
Time Goes By
Never thought that it would be like this
Close to my dreams & I can't miss
For my folks dead & gone
Never forget
& I know that I
Came a long way from the starting line
Whats the point of chasing a dream
If you don't feel that passion inside
& I know I'm gone
To all my family just hold on
I promise incoming is better days
I just needed time to be strong
& Now i'm on
Remember free-stylin' when my bro was home
Always hold it down till the end
Love I promise will free us all
Time Goes By
When my stars align
I know my dreams are mine
My whole life I felt like I've been on a mission
Searching for something that's always been real distant
Looking everywhere but no one see's my vision
& Time Goes By, All I choose to do is fight my feelings
Time Goes By
Got no more anger in my mind
Wouldn't be who I am today
If my Father had never left my side
Forever in my prime
My voice gon' be heard till the end of time
All I wanna do is make a change
Give my folks this to remember me by
& I know that I
I came a long way from asking you why
Life goes on, yes I know
But sometimes we got too much pride
It's on me to decide
Which way to go & with who beside
Imma keep on winning as Time Goes By
I've been searching for myself the entire time
Time Goes By
When my stars align
I know my dreams are mine
My whole life I felt like I've been on a mission
I found myself & now I know the meaning of living




Looking straight ahead & now I see my vision
& Time Goes By, All I choose to do is feel no feelings

I believe we will all spend eternity somewhere. Jesus Christ loves you!
♥️know♥️
1 John 5 KJV
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

1 Corinthians 15 KJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Romans 3 KJV
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

I love that you have Art Bell's photo on your board for this one!

I remember hearing about these super deep holes (like Mel's hole) on Coast to Coast AM when I was driving coast to coast as an OTR trucker around '99. Art was an incredible host and interviewer. Wouldn't put up with B.S., but had an amazingly open, yet critical mind. A very unique balance. And he was always so engaged in his conversations that his follow-up questions were brilliantly effective. They would open more doors to deeper pathways of curiosity and exploration. He was a genuinely curious and stunningly intelligent man. Loved listening to his shows!

Now there is so much on Netflix, and Amazon, and HBO, and everything else. But back then, that was simply not the case. The only place that got anywhere close to these topics at that time was the X-Files. And they started great, but once they got mired in "Smoking Man" drama and government conspiracies, it was over.

But during all that time, before any of the modern "open-mindedness". When the only way you could discuss "crazy" topics like this was to do so on A.M. radio in the graveyard hours of the middle of the night...there he was. Art Bell leading the way.

Anyway, I believe your board changes from episode to episode for relevant reasons I'm sure. I'll need to go back and look at some other videos to see what else pops up. But for this one, Art's photo was instantly recognizable, and a joy to see.

Rest in peace, Mr. Art Bell.

May you now enjoy the answers to all the beautiful mysteries to which you worked so hard to open our eyes.

Just discovered this channel on Friday, and I've watched almost every video now. I have never discovered a channel and gotten more invested in the videos that quickly. You have great delivery, interesting facts, really cool stories, and surprisingly good chemistry with your sidekick, Hecklefish, which most similar channels do not have actually lol. Keep up the good work!

@TheWhyFiles

Thank you so much for stopping by today, Dave! Glad you're watching!

@cgreiner21088

@eddyhernandez5869

I like the way they debunk the hole from hell, now I'll like to see if they can do the same thing for, the 81 million legitimate American votes for Biden, and put an end to this controversy. 🤦

@justamannn8674

@gertywhatagash_
