The Fleeting Nature of Time and Lost Connections

Elan's song "Time" delves into the inevitable passage of time and the impact it has on relationships and personal growth. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and the realization that time changes everything, often in ways we cannot control. The song opens with advice to read between the lines and a warning about the darkness outside, suggesting a need for introspection and awareness of life's complexities. The mention of a 'little girl' adds a layer of innocence and vulnerability, highlighting the transition from naivety to understanding.

The chorus is a poignant reminder of the finality of certain moments and relationships. The repeated question, "Who are you fooling," underscores the denial and eventual acceptance that some connections are lost forever. The realization that "it was time that passed us by" speaks to the universal experience of looking back and recognizing how time has altered our lives and relationships. This theme is further emphasized in the lines about hoping for change, only to find that the wind never came, symbolizing unfulfilled expectations and the permanence of certain changes.

The imagery of "falling high" and "slipping away" captures the paradoxical nature of time—how it can elevate us and yet make things slip out of our grasp. The song concludes with a bittersweet farewell, acknowledging the tears shed over the passage of time. Elan's reflective lyrics and emotive delivery make "Time" a powerful meditation on the inevitability of change and the importance of cherishing the present moment.
