Test Of Time
Temples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And scattering nature seed
And as the leaves fall after the rain
The soil will always fade
And as the water drips down from the top
From the veil oh I can't be touched.
The message reads like a like an marrying rhyme
As we stand through the test of time
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Into the night, we are high; never mind,
And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike,
And as we dance on the stones, glass beneath our feet,
And from the clouds, be alive, nature speak.
The hour ends in a soggy sound
As the trees full of fall falls down
And then the leaves drip golden sand
The lettering breaks again
And the river brings up from the top
From the heaven that I forgot
And there's a tree that's like a marrying end
As we stand through the test of time
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Into the night, we are high; never mind,
And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike,
And as we dance on the stones, glass beneath our feet,
And from the clouds, be alive, nature speak.
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Into the night, we are high; never mind,
And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike,
And as we dance on the stones, glass beneath our feet,
And from the clouds, be alive, nature speak
The lyrics in Temples' song "Test of Time" are open to interpretation, but there seems to be a recurring theme of nature and the passing of time. The first verse talks about a flower falling from an elegant tree and scattering seeds, which is a natural process of renewal and growth. The leaves that fall after the rain represent the transient nature of life, as they will inevitably fade away into the soil. The water that drips down from the veil is also untouchable, much like time itself. The message that the lyrics convey is that, as we stand the test of time, we are essentially witnessing the passing of life but should strive for renewal and growth.
The second verse continues with the theme of nature, describing a night sky that is high and otherworldly, symbolizing renewal and the transcendent power of nature. The stones and glass beneath our feet represent the obstacles we encounter in life, but the message is to keep dancing and moving forward through them. The repeated phrase "Standing the test of time, wondering what / Gathering what" could be interpreted as contemplating what we are gathering from life as we continue to stand the test of time. The last line emphasizes the power of nature to communicate with us, urging us to listen and be alive.
Overall, the lyrics of "Test of Time" seem to convey a message of renewal and growth, even as we witness the passing of time and the inevitability of change. The natural imagery used throughout the song gives a feeling of transcendence and the power of nature to overcome obstacles.
Line by Line Meaning
The flower falls from an elegant tree
A beautiful flower falls from a graceful tree
And scattering nature seed
Seeds of nature scattering all around
And as the leaves fall after the rain
Raindrops cause the leaves to fall
The soil will always fade
The soil will eventually erode away
And as the water drips down from the top
Water dripping from above
From the veil oh I can't be touched.
Out of reach from behind a veil
The message reads like a like an marrying rhyme
The message sounds like a beautiful poem
As we stand through the test of time
Enduring the challenges of life over time
Into the night, we are high; never mind,
Being carefree and euphoric at night
And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike,
Arriving dramatically, like lightning through clouds
And as we dance on the stones, glass beneath our feet,
Dancing on stones, with glass on the ground
And from the clouds, be alive, nature speak.
Alive and speaking through the wonders of nature
The hour ends in a soggy sound
The hour comes to a wet and dismal end
As the trees full of fall falls down
Trees shedding their colorful leaves
And then the leaves drip golden sand
Golden sand dripping from the leaves
The lettering breaks again
The writing breaks apart once more
And the river brings up from the top
The river carries things from high up
From the heaven that I forgot
From a forgotten heaven
And there's a tree that's like a marrying end
A tree like the end of a beautiful journey
Into the night, we are high; never mind,
Being carefree and euphoric at night
And through the clouds, we arrive, like the skies in strike,
Arriving dramatically, like lightning through clouds
And as we dance on the stones, glass beneath our feet,
Dancing on stones, with glass on the ground
And from the clouds, be alive, nature speak.
Alive and speaking through the wonders of nature
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Wondering what will happen as time passes
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Gathering strength to endure time's challenges
Standing the test of time, wondering what
Wondering what will happen as time passes
Standing the test of time, gathering what
Gathering strength to endure time's challenges
