About time

Chiara Oliver's song 'About Time' is a poignant reflection on the lingering feelings and unanswered questions following the end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and the difficulty of moving on from someone who was once a significant part of one's life. The opening lines, 'I’ve forgotten the taste of your kisses / And the sound of your whispers,' set a tone of nostalgia, as the singer grapples with the fading memories of intimate moments shared with a past lover.

As the song progresses, the chorus 'Remember the time when I told you you’re mine / And you are all I need' reveals the depth of commitment and emotion that was once present in the relationship. The repetition of 'It’s about time' underscores a sense of urgency and a need for closure. The singer is seeking answers to how the other person felt on the night they parted ways, indicating that the end of their relationship left unresolved feelings and a lack of understanding. The phrase 'How much can I give till I get it right' suggests a willingness to make amends or change, but also a realization that it might be too late.

The final lines, 'I forgotten everything I knew / I forgotten you (finally),' signify a turning point. There is a sense of acceptance and the beginning of healing as the singer starts to let go of the past. The word 'finally' indicates that this process of forgetting and moving on has been challenging and long overdue. The song captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the journey towards self-recovery after a significant loss.
