Hands Of Time
armada groove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep looking through the window pane
Just trying to see through the pouring rain
It's hearing your name, hearing your name
I never really felt quite the same, since I've lost what I had to gain

No one to blame, no one to blame
Seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Oh it seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time

No one to blame, no one to blame
Seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Oh it seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time

Seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time




Oh it seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Seems to me, history was left behind

The singer acknowledges that there is "no one to blame" for their loss, and that the consequences of their actions cannot be reversed. The lyric "history was left behind" suggests that the memories of the past will always be with them, but they cannot change them.


Overall, the song is about the realization of the impossibility of going back in time and the feeling of regret that comes with it. It's a relatable sentiment that many people experience at some point in their lives.
