Something Left Behind
Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you to keep this to yourself
I know that it's all my fault
I know that it's all my fault
The best and worst years of my life
Fell into these lines
The best and worst days of my life
I said it and I meant it
All we have is time
So hold on to my number
And please pickup the phone
I miss the sound of all your voices
And even when I'm gone
Leave the light on for me
And I won't ever let you be
Something left behind
So please pick up this time
All we really have is time
So hold on to my number
And please pick up the phone
I miss the sound of all your voices
And even when I'm gone
Leave the light on for me
And I won't ever let you be
Something left behind
'Cause every second that you give
Is every life that you could have lived
And all those people you could have have been
You have to let them be
Something left behind
So hold onto my number
And please pick up the phone
I miss the sound of all your voices
And even when I'm gone
I've written songs about growing old
I wrote some along the road
And I write them all for my friends
So where ever I may go
I hope that you can hear me (I hope I can sing them loud)
I hope that you can hear me (They can hear me back home)
I hope that you can hear me (I said it and I meant it)
I hope that you can hear me (Never feel alone)
The lyrics of Transit's song 'Something Left Behind' are emotional and introspective in nature. The artist is speaking about their own experiences and the impact that those experiences have had on their life. From the outset of the song, the lyrics suggest a moment of vulnerability - 'I poured my heart out, I told you to keep this to yourself'. The artist is revealing something personal, something that they do not want to be broadcast to the world.
The lyrical content continues to explore the artist's past, 'the best and worst years of my life, fell into these lines'. This is followed by the line 'all we have is time', and the significance of this statement is that time is fleeting. It's a desperate plea to the listener to hold on to the memories of the good times, and to acknowledge the pain of the bad times. The lyrics suggest that even in the artist's absence, they want to be remembered, and they want to leave a lasting impression. The lines 'leave the light on for me, and I won't ever let you be' are poignant - suggesting that even though the artist may be gone, their spirit will always be present.
The lyrics repeat the refrain of 'something left behind,' suggesting that there is always something, no matter how small, that we can hold on to when someone is gone. The chorus also emphasizes the importance of time, and the knowledge that 'every second that you give, is every life that you could have lived'. Ultimately, the song is about connection, and the importance of staying connected even when we are physically absent from one another. The artist ends the song by declaring that the songs they write are for their friends, and they hope that wherever they go, their friends will hear their message - 'never feel alone'.

Always come back to this. Sooo lucky to have this one on 12β vinyl- prized piece of my collection.

For anyone wondering why this isn't on Spotify, it's because it was published by Mightier Than Swords Records, which was run by a scammer and went defunct after he stole a bunch of money for a blink-182 vinyl pressing that never released.
