Look At The Time

Sawyer Hill's song 'Look At The Time' delves into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and the end of a relationship. The lyrics express a deep sense of distrust and the realization that words of love can sometimes be empty and manipulative. The song's narrator questions the sincerity of their former lover's declarations, wondering if they were only said because they sounded good, rather than being genuine expressions of affection. The imagery of 'feeding snakes' suggests that the narrator feels deceived and regrets giving love to someone who did not deserve it.

The song also touches on the theme of moving on from the past. The narrator acknowledges that the past can be painful, but they also recognize that the future does not include the person who hurt them. This realization is a step towards healing, as they come to understand that they are better off without someone who was insincere. The mention of wrestling with demons and the devil being 'God's favorite' adds a layer of complexity, suggesting that even the most angelic beings can have a dark side, and that the narrator was blindsided by the true nature of their ex-lover.

Finally, the recurring question about being 'the only one' or just 'the closest one around' highlights the narrator's feelings of being a convenience rather than a true choice. The song's title, 'Look At The Time,' serves as a metaphor for the realization that too much time has been wasted on a relationship that was not what it seemed. It's a call to action for the narrator to let go and move forward, leaving behind the person who has caused them so much pain.
