Traveling Time

“Traveling Time” by Bobby 'BSlick' Yarsulik is a poignant exploration of the passage of time and the enduring nature of human connections. The song opens with a tender invitation to hold hands, symbolizing unity and support as life continues to move forward. The lyrics reflect on the inevitability of time passing, emphasizing that despite our best efforts, we often remain unaware of how quickly moments slip away. This theme is encapsulated in the recurring line, “The seconds pass every hour, and you could say we're traveling time,” which serves as a reminder of the relentless march of time.

The song delves into the bittersweet reality of separation and the hope for reunion. The narrator expresses a longing for a loved one to join them on this journey through time, but acknowledges that such a reunion was not part of their design. This sentiment is further explored in the lines, “Though I'm alone I will remember, that you were always part of my design.” Here, the idea of design suggests a preordained plan or fate, highlighting the deep connection that persists despite physical distance.

As the song progresses, it offers a sense of solace and resilience. The narrator reflects on the past and the journey that has brought them to the present, expressing hope for the future. The lyrics, “We're so alive we'll be alright, said our goodbyes just close your eyes, we'll be together soon,” convey a comforting message of eventual reunion and the enduring nature of love and connection. Ultimately, “Traveling Time” is a heartfelt meditation on the passage of time, the pain of separation, and the hope for future togetherness, all woven together with a sense of timeless design and destiny.
