Hours

In 'Hours,' again&again delves into the existential struggle of feeling trapped in the relentless passage of time. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and frustration, as the protagonist grapples with the monotony of daily life and the fear of time slipping away. The recurring line, 'Lately, it's been on my brain,' underscores the constant preoccupation with the passage of time and the desire for a more meaningful existence.

The song's imagery of being 'stuck inside a plateau' and 'losing sight of my goal' paints a vivid picture of stagnation and disillusionment. The protagonist's days blend into weeks, creating a sense of a never-ending loop where each day feels indistinguishable from the last. This feeling of being trapped is further emphasized by the metaphor of 'time is my pilot,' suggesting a lack of control over one's destiny and the hope that time itself doesn't spiral out of control.

The chorus, with its plea to 'keep up the pace' and the foot 'stomping to the floor,' reflects the frantic effort to escape this cycle and find a sense of purpose. The song's climax, where the protagonist vows not to 'fall behind again' and to 'make it where I'm destined,' hints at a glimmer of hope and determination to break free from the constraints of time and routine. Ultimately, 'Hours' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, capturing the universal desire to find meaning and fulfillment in the face of life's relentless march.
