Wind
Taff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And come back round again
But every time they took me by surprise
And there was a day I used to want
The things I did not have
But it's never better on the other side
That I've forgotten my way home
The best things always bring you back
Again over and over
The hands of time go round and round
They don't slow down when you lose your way
At every turn, the things you learn
You wear them proud like you wear your name
And as you go on down that road
Don't let the dust get in your eyes
It blows in the winds of change, yeah
The hunger is no stranger
Oh, I've sat with him before
Everything I've done has not been good
And as I've tried to make my stand
Oh, I've had to learn to fall
Maybe I have seen more than I should
But I've never gone so far
That I've forgotten my way home
The best things always bring you back
Again over and over
The hands of time go round and round
They don't slow down when you lose your way
At every turn, the things you learn
You wear them proud like you wear your name
And as you go on down that road
Don't let the dust get in your eyes
It blows in the winds of change, yeah, oh, oh
And I held on to my life
I kept my dream alive
And the dream ain't over and over, over and over
The hands of time go round and round
They don't slow down when you lose your way
At every turn, the things you learn
You wear them proud like you wear your name
And as you go on down that road
Don't let the dust get in your eyes
It blows in the winds of change
It blows in the winds of change, yeah
The winds of change
The song "Wind" by Taff is an introspective and reflective piece about the changes that come with the passing of time. The lyrics begin by acknowledging the unpredictability of life and the way opportunities and chances can appear out of nowhere. This sentiment is indicative of a person who has lived a full life and has seen firsthand how the winds of change can shift at any moment.
The lyrics touch on the idea that wanting what you don't have is a common feeling, but that it's never as fulfilling as it seems. This perspective speaks to the idea that the grass is not always greener on the other side, and that contentment and acceptance are more valuable than chasing an elusive goal.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of returning to one's roots, of never forgetting where you came from, and the idea that the best things in life will bring you back to your origins. The idea of coming full circle is a recurring theme throughout the song, with the suggestion being that even in the face of life's challenges and changes, there is comfort to be found in a return to familiar territory.
Overall, "Wind" is a song about change, resilience, and the passage of time. It's a thoughtful and contemplative piece that speaks to the human experience of navigating the unpredictable currents of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Well, I've seen my chances come and go
I have experienced a series of opportunities that have appeared and disappeared from my life
And come back round again
And returned unexpectedly after some time
But every time they took me by surprise
However, I was never prepared for these opportunities when they reappeared
And there was a day I used to want
I have had desires and aspirations in the past
The things I did not have
For the things that were beyond my reach at that time
But it's never better on the other side
But as I have come to learn, having those things would not have made my life any better
Well, I've never gone so far
Although I have gone through many experiences
That I've forgotten my way home
I have not forgotten where I come from or who I am
The best things always bring you back
The most valuable things in life have a way of reminding you of your roots
Again over and over
And this process repeats itself
The hands of time go round and round
The passage of time is constant and relentless
They don't slow down when you lose your way
Time does not slow down or wait for you when you're lost or uncertain of your path
At every turn, the things you learn
At every juncture in life, there are lessons to be learned
You wear them proud like you wear your name
And these lessons become a part of who you are, just like your name
And as you go on down that road
As you continue your journey through life
Don't let the dust get in your eyes
Do not let the distractions of life deter you from your goals
It blows in the winds of change, yeah
These distractions and changes are unpredictable and can come from anywhere
The hunger is no stranger
I am familiar with the feeling of yearning and ambition
Oh, I've sat with him before
I have experienced this hunger on previous occasions
Everything I've done has not been good
Although I have made many attempts to achieve my goals, not all of them have been successful or positive
And as I've tried to make my stand
As I have worked towards making my mark in the world
Oh, I've had to learn to fall
I have had to accept my failures and learn from them in order to move forward
Maybe I have seen more than I should
Perhaps I have experienced more than I was meant to in this lifetime
And I held on to my life
I have held on to my aspirations, dreams, and goals
I kept my dream alive
I have continued to nurture my ambitions and keep my hopes alive
And the dream ain't over and over, over and over
And I will not let go of my dreams, even if they take time to come true
The winds of change
The unpredictable and constant changes in life
