Analysis of TIME TO TIME
Time to time I feel so useless
It's the same old story
When I become a little down and depress
Some things will never change
This feeling that lingers deep inside of me
I am desperately trying to rearrange.
What should I do
Should I throw my hopes and dreams away
Because reality does not come through?
Many feelings are hidden and overdue.
You honestly ask yourself,
"Will I ever face those long and endless days like today
And why does my inspiration just slip away?"
"Still, I should try to live a little and love myself
But like always these feelings just slip away."
