Timezones

Schur's song "Timezones" delves into the complexities of a long-distance relationship, capturing the emotional highs and lows that come with loving someone who is physically far away. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's feelings as he reminisces about past moments with his lover, expressing a desire to relive those times. The recurring lines, "I’ve been feeling fine, Weed and my wine," suggest a coping mechanism to deal with the distance and the longing that comes with it. The repetition of wanting to "hit rewind" and "see your face and suffocate" underscores the intensity of his emotions and the suffocating feeling of missing someone deeply.

The song also explores the concept of time and distance, with the lover living in the Pacific, creating a literal and metaphorical timezone change. This geographical separation adds a layer of complexity to their relationship, as they navigate different time zones and the challenges that come with it. The lyrics, "21 hours in my past she calls, Tomorrow on the phone I'm getting so enthralled," highlight the disjointed nature of their communication, yet also the excitement and anticipation that each call brings. The mention of "Mr. Murray" is a likely reference to the movie "Groundhog Day," where the protagonist relives the same day repeatedly, symbolizing the desire to relive cherished moments.

The chorus, with lines like "I like the way you move I like your company, And if you wanna get loose come get tight with me," reflects the playful and intimate connection between the two lovers. Despite the distance, they find ways to maintain their bond, creating their own rules and rhythms to keep the relationship alive. The song's blend of nostalgia, longing, and hope captures the essence of long-distance love, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the challenges and joys of loving someone from afar.
