Time
Libera
The Eternal Symphony of Time
Libera's song "Time" is a poetic exploration of the concept of time, portraying it as an omnipresent and eternal force. The lyrics personify time, giving it a voice that speaks of its role in the universe. Time is depicted as both the past and the future, encompassing all moments that have ever existed and those yet to come. This duality is emphasized in lines like "I am the hours and moments of your yesterday" and "I am the hours, the days and moments yet to come until the end of time," suggesting that time is a continuous, unbroken thread that weaves through the fabric of existence.
The song also touches on the idea of time as a creator and a witness to all events. Phrases such as "I rise in the spark of life, the dawn of all time" and "I call to the worlds still yet to be" highlight time's role in the genesis and evolution of life and the universe. The imagery of music in the lyrics, with references to "the music is everywhere, in life, in the sea and air," suggests that time is a harmonious and integral part of the natural world, resonating through every element of existence.
Furthermore, the song elevates time to a divine status, with lines like "Then all of creation rings and all in the heavens sing their glorious song through all eternity." This celestial imagery implies that time is not just a mundane measure of moments but a sacred and eternal force that binds the cosmos together. Libera's ethereal musical style, characterized by angelic voices and serene melodies, complements the profound and spiritual themes of the lyrics, creating a transcendent listening experience that invites reflection on the nature of time and existence.
