Timeless
Scott and Michelle Dalziel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did believe as time had passed...
The love between us had to last
My heart ignored the days gone by...
For I possess a timeless mind
With all the years apart I knew...
I am still in love with you
I close my eyes and see your face
The passing years can not erase
As we both look back to find
I live within my timeless, mind
I wonder if you can... replace me with another man
I wonder if you think of me... and long for how it used to be
As the painful truth begins... I hide within my mind again
I wander back as if to say... was it really only yesterday
As we both look back to find
I live within my timeless, mind
World on the brink... what are we left to think
A moment lived in this life... to make the wrong things right
The time is short right here... must get away my dear
You were so fine in my mind, in my mind...
Life punishes all... The time for love is so small...
Freedom in my mind... are you still somewhere in time
Freedom in my mind... to shape the world this time...
To shape the world this time... to shape the world this time
Living in my time less mind
The lyrics of "Timeless" by Scott and Michelle Dalziel depict a nostalgic longing for a past love and the eternal presence of that love in the singer's mind. The song begins by acknowledging that at some point in the past, they belonged to each other. There was a deep belief that their love would endure as time passed, which kept the singer's heart connected to the memories of their relationship. The phrase "timeless mind" suggests that despite the passing of days, the singer's love remains constant and unchanged.
Despite being apart for many years, the singer continues to feel love for the other person. They reflect on the power of their connection, realizing that the passing years cannot diminish the love that still resides within their hearts. Closing their eyes takes them back to the past, where they see the face of their former lover. These memories remain vivid and untouched, defying any attempt by time to erase them. The repetition of the line "I live within my timeless mind" emphasizes the enduring nature of the love and memories.
The lyrics also convey the feelings of insecurity and doubt that can arise when thinking about the possibility of being replaced or forgotten. The singer wonders if the other person could find someone else to replace them and questions whether they still think of the singer and long for the way things used to be. These doubts contribute to the emotional pain they experience, causing them to retreat and hide within their mind. They try to go back in time, as if to confirm that the relationship was just yesterday, seeking solace in the past.
Reflecting on the brevity of life and the limited time given to love, the lyrics express a sense of urgency. The world is depicted as being on the precipice of change, prompting the need to escape from the present moment. Despite this uncertainty, the singer still holds on to the image of their former lover, describing them as "so fine in my mind." The lyrics suggest a desire for freedom and an opportunity to shape the world in a different, more positive way, all while acknowledging the constraints and limitations that life imposes.
Overall, "Timeless" delves into the complexities of love, memory, and the passage of time. It portrays the lasting impact of past relationships and the longing to preserve those connections within a timeless realm of the mind. The lyrics depict a struggle with doubt and the search for freedom and meaning within the boundaries of existence.

The time we have in this moment is brief, we need to escape, my beloved
You were so fine in my mind, in my mind...
You were so wonderful, existing vividly in my thoughts

Life brings hardships to everyone, and the duration for love is limited
Freedom in my mind... are you still somewhere in time
Within my thoughts, I find freedom; I wonder if you still exist in some form of past
Freedom in my mind... to shape the world this time...
Freedom exists in my mind to influence and reshape the world in this moment
To shape the world this time... to shape the world this time
To have the power to alter and impact the world in the present
Living in my timeless mind
Existing within my timeless mind
