Time Machine
Xavier Sorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Low low low like my name was Jon B
Old soul still up in my twenty's
96 boy grew up on my Disney
Hey people wonder if I'm here or not
Why cuz' I'm spacing like astronaut yeah
They say love you to the moon and back
When they leave no they don't come back nah
Late news keep my mind woke
Netflix pass the time tho
Sitcom or a romcom keep me from
Being undone with my feelings
And I hope now that I go out
Won't go down the same road same route
Since I moved out on my own now
This a God dream I will never back down yeah
Take it back take me back to the weekend
Bring it back bring me back lets begin
Take it back take me back to the feeling
Bring it back bring it bring it right back yeah
Take it back take me back to the weekend
Bring it back bring me back lets begin
Take it back take me back to the feeling
Bring it back bring it bring it right back yeah
Right now I been feeling hollow
Hit me up later yeah i'll get back tomorrow
I was out with friends when you hit me with a follow
Tell me why you crying saying you need me to call you
Hey tell me are feeling alright
Why cuz' you don't Sound alright nah
Said he love you to the moon and back
When he leave no he don't come back nah
Breakups keep your mind woke
Tell me about the high and lows
Caught up in the drama gotta calm her
When I call her cuz I love her
And I hope now that we go out
But you ghost me tell me I can't figure out
Why now why now right now just slow down
Why this gotta happen right now
Take it back take me back to the weekend
Bring it back bring me back lets begin
Take it back take me back to the feeling
Bring it back bring it bring it right back yeah
Take it back take me back to the weekend
Bring it back bring me back lets begin
Take it back take me back to the feeling
Bring it back bring it bring it right back yeah
The thought of you takes me back in time
And I can't seem to stay
And though I'm lost in the endless unknown
I close my eyes and pray
I don't know where I will go
I don't know what the future holds for me
Somehow we've made it this far
Some reason you still hold me
Some reason you still hold me
In "Time Machine," Xavier Sorrow reflects on his emotional state and the various things that keep him occupied during moments of emptiness. He reveals that he feels hollow and empty, despite being young and having grown up watching Disney movies. He acknowledges that he experiences mental spaciness similar to that of an astronaut floating in space. Although people tell him they love him to the moon and back, they invariably part ways without returning. Xavier admits that he himself is guilty of ghosting when he's unsure of how to deal with breakups.
The song speaks to the universal confusion and uncertainty of young adulthood. The lyrics exhibit a sense of pensive nostalgia and longing for innocence and simpler days - a yearning to go back in time to relive the moments that once brought joy. This is evident in the chorus, where the artist mournfully wishes he could return to the weekend and the feeling that accompanied it, perhaps in an effort to alleviate the pain of the present.

The thought of you takes me back in time
Your memory takes me back in time
And I can't seem to stay
However, I can't seem to stay in that moment
And though I'm lost in the endless unknown
Likewise, I'm confused about the limitless unknown
I close my eyes and pray
Therefore, I close my eyes and pray
I don't know where I will go
I don't know where my future lies
I don't know what the future holds for me
Furthermore, I don't know what my future has in store for me
Somehow we've made it this far
However, despite everything, we've come this far
Some reason you still hold me
Somehow, you still cling to me
Some reason you still hold me
Somehow, you still cling to me
