Lost in the Moment
We Came As Romans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is my life just passing by?
With the ever-growing distance
Am I leaving me behind?
Like a part of my past trapped in the hourglass
That will never break
That will never break
Surrounding me?
I wanna live lost in the moment
With my eyes wide, breathing new life
I wanna let go of the burden
With my eyes wide for the first time
Seeing time flying by, it won't stop
'Cause today's all we got to lean on
I wanna live lost in the moment, yeah
Lost in the moment, whoa
We've been drifting through existence
'Cause we're trapped behind our eyes
We're to blame for our indifference
When nobody questions why
Like a part of my past trapped in the hour glass
That will never break
That will never break
Stuck in black and white, drowned in old headlines
That nobody will read
I wanna live lost in the moment
With my eyes wide, breathing new life
I wanna let go of the burden
With my eyes wide for the first time
Seeing time flying by, it won't stop
'Cause today's all we got to lean on
I wanna live lost in the moment, yeah
Lost in the moment, whoa
I won't be caught in the hands of time
I won't be caught in the hands of time
I wanna live lost in the moment
Lost in the moment
I wanna live lost in the moment
I wanna live lost in the moment
With my eyes wide open with a new life
I wanna let go of the burden
With my eyes wide open for the first time
Seeing time flying by, it won't stop
'Cause today's all we got to lean on (to lean on)
I wanna live lost in the moment
Yeah, lost, lost in the moment again
Lost in the moment again
I won't be caught in the hands of time
(I won't be caught in the hands of time)
The lyrics of "Lost In The Moment" by We Came As Romans reflect a deep contemplation on life and existence, questioning whether the singer is truly present in their own life or just drifting along, disconnected and detached. The opening lines express a sense of introspection and self-doubt, with the singer wondering if they are allowing life to pass them by, feeling a growing sense of distance from themselves.
The imagery of an hourglass is used metaphorically to represent the passage of time and the idea of being stuck in the past, unable to break free from old patterns and memories. The singer longs to break free from this cycle and breathe in new experiences, to let colors and vibrancy surround them, symbolizing a desire for a more fulfilling and present existence.
The chorus expresses a strong yearning to live fully in the present moment, with eyes wide open and a renewed sense of vitality. The repetition of "lost in the moment" reinforces this desire to embrace life's fleeting opportunities and not be consumed by regrets or apathy. The acknowledgment that today is all we have emphasizes the importance of cherishing the present and making the most of every moment.
The final verses highlight a determination to break free from the constraints of time and live authentically, with a sense of urgency and purpose. The repeated refrain of not being caught in the hands of time underscores a defiant stance against being controlled by the past or future, emphasizing the power of being fully present in the here and now. Overall, the song's message encourages listeners to embrace life with openness and awareness, to let go of burdens and live in the moment with a newfound appreciation for the beauty of existence.
