about

a song about the fugacity of time and its rather fluid character. initially written following the realization of missed chances, it keeps me asking myself why I could not fully appreciate what I've had till it was gone.

to dub the song 'Helen' was a conceptual decision. ask if you want to know.

lyrics

time is such a precious thing / abundant, yes, but hard to trace it / often I tried to use it right / I manage, plan and thus erase it / time was such a precious good, you see / running through my fingers since I started watching out for it / quantify and utilizing it / life is such a precious thing / abundant yes, but prone to breaking / often I tried to use it right / I managed planned, nearly erased it / life is such a precious good, you see / running through my fingers since I started to get a grip on it / pretty late, yet still I did.
