Time Machine
Tarang Joseph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd go back to that day
There's this thing I need to tell ya
This thing I didn't say
Lately I've been feeling down
Things haven't gone my way
But when I'm in your company
I feel like I'm okay
Where did you go?
I wish I had a time machine
I could go back to that day
There's something I should have told you
This thing I didn't say
My life's a picture black and white
Everything's mundane
But when I'm in your company
There's colour for a change
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I feel so alone
I'm all alone
If I had a time machine...
The lyrics to "Time Machine" by Tarang Joseph touch upon the theme of longing for a chance to go back in time and rectify a missed opportunity. The song begins with the singer expressing a desire to have a time machine to revisit a specific day where they failed to communicate something important to someone. The lyrics imply that this unsaid confession has been weighing on their mind, causing them to feel down and dissatisfied with their current circumstances.
The second verse expands on this longing, painting a picture of the singer's life as monotonous and lacking vibrancy. However, when they are in the company of the person they are addressing, everything changes. The presence of this person brings color and joy into their life, contrasting with the otherwise black-and-white dullness they experience.
The repetition of the lines "Where did you go?" and "I feel so alone" suggests that the person the singer is addressing is no longer present, further intensifying their longing and sense of being isolated.
The overall message of the song is that one moment, one missed opportunity, can have a significant impact on our lives. It underscores the regret and longing for a chance to go back and express oneself fully.
