Another Time
Shroud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once I thought that I was in another time another place with you
Now I know I'll find you in another time another place
A secret kept for so long it changed became a lie
Once I thought that I was in another time another place with you
Now I know I'll find you in another time another place (again)
A truth so strange that feeling that you've been there all along
Now I know I'll find you in anoher time another place
The lyrics of Shroud's song "Another Time" seem to be about a person grappling with their memories and the changes that have occurred over time. The opening line, "Just yesterday I thought I heard your voice from the past," suggests that the person is haunted by memories of someone they used to know. The next line, "Once I thought that I was in another time another place with you," further emphasizes that the memory is vivid and feels like it was a different reality.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person has come to terms with the fact that the past is in fact the past. They hope to find the person they're thinking of in "another time another place," alluding to either another point in their life, or even another dimension or parallel universe. The line "A secret kept for so long it changed became a lie" suggests that there was some kind of secret or unspoken truth that caused the relationship to change over time – possibly even falling apart completely.
Despite this, the person still holds onto the hope that they will eventually "find" the other person again. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this; "Once I thought that I was in another time another place with you / Now I know I'll find you in another time another place" suggests that this is a refrain that the person has repeated to themselves many times. It's a song that speaks to the hopeful, dreamy nature of the human psyche and our tendency to hold onto memories and hope for the future.
