Didn't We
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't we?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't we?
This time I had the answer, right here in my hand
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand
This time we almost sang our song in tune
This time we almost made it, made it to the moon
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it this time?
In Tony Evans & His Orchestra's song "Didn't We," the lyrics describe almost fulfilling wishes, with an implication of missed opportunities. The first verse speaks of a puzzle that nearly fits together. The metaphor conveys a sense of almost finding a solution to a problem, but then losing it at the last moment. The second line talks about almost making sense of a situation. The line highlights the potential for clarity just out of reach. The third line explains how the singer had an answer to a problem and lost it when they came into contact with it. The use of the word "sand" implies the fragility of a solution when almost found.
The second verse tells us that the couple almost sang their song in tune. This line can represent their relationship, reflecting the idea that the union was close to being perfect. The next line is a reference to the moon landing, emphasizing a longed-for accomplishment that was nearly achieved. When the couple almost made their poem rhyme, it highlights their missed opportunities of creating something meaningful together. The long hard climb is a metaphor for their struggle to reach their objective, drawing parallels to the actual struggle with a physical climb. The chorus, "Didn't we almost make it?", serves as the perfect reflection of how the couple was moving in the right direction but failed to achieve their goals.
