Most Of The Time
Sophie Zelmani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the signs
Stay right with it
When the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice
She's gone
Most of the time

Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can't make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation
Right down to the bone
I can survive,
And I can endure
And I don't even think
About her
Most of the time

Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion
'till it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion
No matter how thick
I can smile in the face
Of mankind
Don't even remember
What her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time

Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her

Most of the time
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it all went
I don't cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings
That are buried inside
I don't compromise
And I don't pretend
I don't even care




If I ever see her again
Most of the time

Overall Meaning

In the song "Most of the Time", Sophie Zelmani talks about her ability to cope with life and all its challenges most of the time. She sings about her clarity of thought and how she is able to keep both feet on the ground, follow the path, read the signs and stay right when the road unwinds. Sophie demonstrates her resilience, saying she can handle whatever she stumbles upon, survive and endure with a smile on her face. She reveals that most of the time, she is strong enough not to hate, and she doesn't build up illusions until they make her sick. Sophie also talks about how she doesn't cheat herself, run, or hide from buried feelings, and she doesn't compromise or pretend. She concludes by saying that most of the time, the woman she lost does not even cross her mind, and she does not care if she ever sees her again.


Sophie's "Most of the Time" talks about the universal human experience of coping with the loss of a lover or partner. On the surface, the lyrics describe someone who is over their ex and ready to move on with life. The lyrics are full of resolve, determination, and strength, suggesting that Sophie has moved on from her past relationship and is focused on her future. However, it is important to note that she only feels this way most of the time, which leaves room for the fact that she may still have some unresolved feelings towards her ex-partner. The song addresses themes of resilience, strength, and the ability to cope with loss while acknowledging that moving on is not always a linear process.

I've spent hours tracking down Dylan covers and I've listened to many. Zelmani has to be in the top 10 Dylan covers of all time. I first heard it watching M&Anon and it was clear that here was something exceptional, really exceptional.

I don't normally like Dylan covers, but this is (one hell of) an exception, up there with 'All along the watchtower' by Hendrix.
