Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll take our secret to the grave
Erase everything of our past
This was never ment to last
"Time for you to move on", she told me
"don't leave with regret", you wont get the best of me
"Time for you to move on", she told me
Beginning with the end, i knew this was coming
We had the world at our feet
We were just to young to see
"Time for you to move on", she told me
"Don't leave with regret", you wont get the best of me
"time for you to move on", she told me
"don't leave with regret", you wont get the best of me
"Time for you to move on", she told me
"don't leave with regret", you wont get the best of me

The song "Timelines" by Shadows Chasing Ghosts is a nostalgic song about a past relationship that was never meant to last. The lyrics are written in a conversational style, with the perspective of someone reflecting on a relationship that has already ended. The opening lyrics, "Thank you for the way you lead me on, princess," express gratitude for the time spent together, despite the relationship ultimately not working out. The singer of the song promises to keep their time together a secret and erase everything of their past.
The chorus of the song is repetitive, emphasizing the point made by the ex-partner to "move on" and not leave with regret. There is a clear sense of acceptance and understanding of the situation in the lyrics, with the singer acknowledging that they were too young to fully comprehend what they had. The use of the word "timelines" in the title adds to the sense of reflection and contemplation in the song, suggesting that the singer is reflecting on different points in their life.
Overall, "Timelines" is a touching and bittersweet song about accepting the end of a relationship on good terms and cherishing the memories made. The lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying the emotions and thoughts of the singer, with the repetitiveness of the chorus driving home the message of the song.
