It's been a long long time
we've come a long long way
no, I can't see the finish line
scared half to death but that's okay
It's been a long long night
after a long long day
my body's aching but I know somehow
my feet will find a way
so I'll sing it loud
in the silence
and give the best of me
till its alright
but not over
I will find fight
like a soldier coming home
in the silence
but I have never felt so free
the future's so bright
this is our time
imma live it how I dream
It's been a long long time time
since I've seen sunlight through the rain
since I've felt love or truth, It's strange
but I left bliss back where I came
and I wont lie
it's taken so long to feel okay
and now the world is screaming out for more
but I don't feel the same
but we'll be alright
cause it's all we know
and it's only change
sun sets on the old
but we're nocturnal anyway
and this is how we know
It'll be okay
these are the times we will hold
when our memories fade
cause it's all we know
and it's only change
sun sets on the old
but we're nocturnal anyway
and this is how we know
it'll be okay
these are the times we will hold
these are the times we will hold
in the silence
when I've given all of me
and it's alright
that it's over
and I've found fight
like a soldier coming home
in the silence
but I have never felt so free
the future's so bright
this is our time
and I'll live it how i dream
because it's all we know
and it's only change
sun sets on the old
but we're nocturnal anyway
and this is how we know
It'll be okay
these are the times we will hold
when our memories fade
sometimes it takes times like these to know
you're in the right place
The lyrics of "Times Like These" by Eden Project have a message of resilience and hope amidst difficult times. The song acknowledges the challenges and struggles that come with life, but emphasizes the importance of perseverance and determination in overcoming obstacles. The singer acknowledges the long and difficult journey they have been on, and the fear and pain they have experienced, but reminds themselves that they will find a way to keep going. The chorus of the song is a reminder to stay positive and hopeful, even in the midst of hardship.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of change and the passage of time. The singer reflects on how long it has been since they have experienced certain feelings, like love and truth, and how they have left those things behind. However, they also recognize that change is a necessary part of life, and that they will adapt to whatever comes their way. Despite the uncertainty and challenges that lie ahead, the song encourages listeners to hold onto the present moment and cherish it, as it is all we really have.
