Time Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black and white sailboats and kind women
With scarlet lips and pomegranate temples
All in a backdrop with magenta clouds
Napoleon's kicking a violin
Electric happiness, laughing during seizures
As rare as a hen's tooth
(Oh girl, you're so fine, I just wanna tell you
I find you real attractive and s***
I'm just gonna tell you right now
You're beautiful baby, I wanna make love
You're all I want baby, you and me
Magenta clouds)
Back when the only thing was wasn't segregated was the piano keys
You were cursing at the clouds you made
But look at you now, Clark Gable and Mona Lisa are swapping spit
At last the people look like flowers
You've never seen a place like this kid
The lyrics of Time's song "You've Never Seen a Place Like This Kid" conjure up images of a surreal, dream-like world. The opening line, "You've never seen a place like this kid," sets the scene as an otherworldly, fantastical location that is beyond the norm. The imagery in the following lines furthers this idea, with black and white sailboats and kind women with scarlet lips and pomegranate temples surrounded by magenta clouds. This setting paints a portrait of a place both beautiful and strange, one that is not of this world.
The references to Napoleon and kicking a violin, along with laughing during seizures, add to the oddness and unpredictability of this world. These lines could be interpreted as allusions to madness, chaos, and unpredictability, as if anything could happen in this place. The line "as rare as a hen's tooth" adds to the idea that this place is unique and one-of-a-kind, and something that may never be seen again.
The final verse alludes to societal progress, with the line "Back when the only thing that wasn't segregated was the piano keys." This line refers to the time in U.S. history when segregation laws were enforced, and even the piano keys were divided between "white" notes and "black" notes. The imagery in the verse paints a picture of societal progress, with even Clark Gable and Mona Lisa swapping spit. The final line brings the song full circle, ending with the repeated refrain that this place is something that "you've never seen" before, emphasizing the surreal and otherworldly nature of the location.

Lyrics:
Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists with pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you
Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer nights (Summer nights)
Secret moments shared within the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
Say it, say it again
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
Say it, say it again
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
You've got...
The most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got...
Me almost melting away
As we lay there
Under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness
A magical time
Say it, say it again
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you (Say it, say it again)
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
Say you'll love and love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always everywhere and everything
Say you'll love and love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always everywhere and everything
Say you'll love and love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always everywhere and everything
Say you'll love and love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always everywhere and everything
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever

This is the perfect song.
The build through the scale.
The simplicity of the chord progression.
The beat
The harmonies
The major chords played
The message
The lyrics
The breakdown
The feeling it gives you
Nothing else comes close

Man fuck all that, good music is good music. Don't matter genre or the artists who performs it. There's songs I know my homies will be like yo you listening to this but I don't care I enjoy good music. My music choice, song or artist I decide to play doesn't make me who I am.
