Temps Perdut

The song 'Temps Perdut' by Whiskyn's delves into the profound feelings of regret and the heavy burden of lost time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who initially believed their actions were necessary, only to be swept away by desire, leading to a daily struggle. This sense of being trapped in a cycle is palpable, as the world seems to lose meaning with each passing moment. The phrase 'el món perdia a cada instant' (the world lost at every moment) encapsulates this sense of diminishing returns and existential dread.

The protagonist's plea for help to escape this torment, only to end up feeling even more chained, highlights the paradox of seeking freedom but finding oneself more confined. The recurring theme of being 'tancat, sota control' (locked up, under control) underscores the feeling of being imprisoned by one's own choices and circumstances. The repetition of 'tan temps perdut, tan temps llençat' (so much lost time, so much wasted time) serves as a haunting reminder of the irreversible nature of time and the deep sense of regret that accompanies it.

The daily routine described in the song, where each morning at six the dream fades and the day repeats itself, adds to the sense of monotony and hopelessness. The protagonist's anxieties and fears are ever-present, with a faint hope that they might eventually dissipate. The imagery of being 'lluny de casa, tot sol i espantat' (far from home, all alone and scared) evokes a powerful sense of isolation and vulnerability. Whiskyn's captures the essence of human frailty and the emotional toll of feeling disconnected from one's roots and sense of self.
