Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
別に淋しくなかった
温かい部屋でぼくは
ぼくの世界を創った
母は優しくってね
父は無口な人でね
ぼくは ふたりを追い越そうと
いつも息切らしている
擦りむいた膝
痛くなって 少し泣けてくる
おまじないって 傷口
触れたその手は
今でも
ぼくは強がりでね
少しあまのじゃくでね
素直に ありがとうって言えなくて
何だか歯痒かった
画用紙に描いた あの大きな絵
色あせて 少し古ぼけて
頭そっと 撫でてくれたその手は
今でもあたたかいまま
はみ出して 迷って
振り返るたび
いつだって そばにいてくれた
ありがとうも ごめんも
愛してるでも
今なら言えるよ
画用紙に描いた あの大きな絵
色あせて 少し古ぼけて
頭そっと 撫でてくれたその手は
今でもあたたかいまま
その手を 離さないで
The song "Time Machine" by SPLAY tells the story of a person who remembers their childhood and reflects on their relationship with their parents. The singer was always alone but not lonely, as they found solace in their own world in a warm room. The singer's mother was kind, while their father was quiet. The singer always wanted to surpass their parents, and ran as fast as they could even if they fell and hurt themselves. The touch of their mother's hand on their wounds was like a magic spell that eased the pain. However, the singer was always a little stubborn and couldn't bring themselves to say "thank you" honestly.
The singer remembers drawing a big picture on a sheet of paper that has now faded and become a little old. When they were caressed on the head by someone, warm memories of that person surfaced again. Every time the singer looked back, their parents were always there for them, saying "thank you," "sorry," and "I love you." The singer wants to tell their parents now that they can say "thank you," "sorry," and "I love you," and that they want to stay feeling comfortable and secure, holding onto the hand of the person who has always been there for them.
Overall, the song speaks to how important parents are in our lives and how we might not fully appreciate their love and care until we are grown up and reflecting back on our childhood.

She sang what I been feeling lately. All the men I’ve chose in the past wasn’t worth my time. That’s on me though 🤷🏽♀️. I took my power back though been 6 years celibate no cheats or slips either. I’ve been on my self love journey since 2015 and I’m happy 🥰✨💛 that I found peace within myself

We deserve the type of love that ain't toxic, and no drama. I pray God blessed your soulmate. I'm on a similar journey like you. It's been 4 yrs celibacy for me. I've enrolled back in school at 61 yo and working on my bachelor's.i don't have time for foolishness. Ladies, we can focus on self-care and self-love.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
