Enjoy the Seconds

Enjoy the Seconds is a 2021 song by 2:45, blending indie rock, indietronica, 80’s pop, 90’s alternative rock, psychedelic textures, and a bittersweet sense of time passing by.

It is a song about impermanence, memories, doubt, and those moments when we want something to last forever, even when life reminds us that nothing really does.

There is a little sadness, a little tenderness, and the feeling of holding on to the present before it disappears.

Not everything has to be a whole life. Sometimes it is enough to enjoy the seconds.

Fans note that the captivating rhythm physically invites you to sway along with the music, keeping you hooked from the first second to the last.

Lyrics

How am I supposed to know
What you want, or how you feel.
How am I, a stranger in the eyes
Where I could find me.

I used to look into the mirror
And in my skies, I could see you.
But that image in my mind,
Went away, so far away, yeah.

Oh, Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.
Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.

Cause you never know,
When you are born
And when you are gone.

How am I supposed to hope
To be part of your lost soul.
How am I supposed to grow
All the trust with all the dust.

I used to look into the door hole
And in the soul there was no key.
But I found a message on the wall
Saying those seconds are blown away.

Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.
Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.

Cause you never know,
When you are blown away,
And gone.

How am I a number in a scale
A picture with no frame.
How am I supposed to dream again
With all these moments in despair.

I used to trust the words, and felt,
There was nothing really unsaid.
But now we have no seasons
To keep the same old reasons.

Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.
Don’t ask for a whole life
Enjoy the seconds, babe.

Don’t ask for a whole life
I will enjoy the seconds, babe.

To be in your memories
To be part of your dance
To sing this last glance
I’m not good enough.

It hurts with no sensory
The seconds of treasury
It cuts with the same pride
The landscapes of time.

It counts like a sand clock
The toy of my own mind
The clock of my old soul
The illusion of time.

Of broken confessions
Enjoying obsessions
Don’t ask for a whole life
Just moments in rhyme.
