K-Rino - Past, Present, Future lyrics

Sometimes you look forward and backwards

I meditated at home alone
In an introspective zone
When my conscious mind takes on
A deep reflective tone
As I laid afraid and replayed
Mistakes that I've made
Depression covered me with his dark shade
And cut like a blade
Should I seek advice from somebody
That knows me the most? Just as I asked a
Familiar figure slowly approached
I don't believe in paranormal
Beings or all-seeing ghosts
But everything he told me and everything
He showed me was close
I didn't understand his motives or
His purpose with me
My assessment was he could be 22 or 23
As my visual started burgeoning


And emerging I see
That this person indeed was just
A younger version of me
He said he had words that were
Of the most urgent degree
Apologized for things that he had
Caused to occur mentally
He knew decisions that he had
Made led to my discouragement, g
Said at the time he couldn't see
Where all of the turbulence be
Said history never produced a
More deserving MC
That had received less and had packed
A greater burden than me
"If I could merge ya knowledge now
With ya fire from '93
Just imagine how dangerous and
Disturbing it might be"
He showed me bad moments in my
Life that could've been nice
Times I would've won
But, I went left when I should've went right
But once you done it, well it's over
That's a permanent rule
Problems I could've missed had I
Made an alternative move
He reminded me well that I sat
On a throne with a veil
Now I'm lonely as hell
Broken down and only a shell
Of my former self and that's
Something I hated to say
Just when I asked if I could make it right
He faded away

Three levels of my existence will clash
When my present meets my future and my past
How long will my rationale last?
When my present meets my future and my past

Man, what just happened to me?
I must've blacked out or something man
I feel like
I feel like I'm in another dimension man
What's really going on?

The psychological effects of pain
I failed to withstand to recover from it
The average man seldomly can
Someone tell me the plan
I looked and saw an elderly man
And he began to place me under
A deep spell with his hand
I couldn't believe that he was contrived
To deceive me in lie
He was feeble and shy and much
Older than the previous guy
I relaxed like I was high
Relief I was breathing aside
He said that he would speak and that
I would have no need to reply
He told me of things that I was yearning
In my past was a tree of learning
Said my future wasn't planned and
That nothing was predetermined
Said don't focus on rejection
And personal imperfections
Showed me sections of my life I
Should take in different directions
I couldn't see his face at all
Only a silhouette flaming
Said there would be no deal in
Explaining until I became him
What you see in front of you is
The same form I remain in
It's up to you to add to the
Frame of what you'll be gaining
If you devote your ethereal
Hope and spiritual growth
Look in the mirror close and apply
Not just hear what I spoke
Don't think current obstacles last
There's no impossible task
You could profit with cash
The future has optional paths
I can't reveal every dimension
I'm just showing you some
I warn you now about the pitfalls
So you'll know when they come
First start your divorce
Weak hearted thoughts of remorse
I can't divulge too much
There's a chance you'll alter the course
This warning is sound
Right now you got thorns in your crown
But, I'm a image of potential reform
Born to astound
I see you speculating blatantly
No need to mistake me
Yeah, I'm you 20 years from now
But what will you make me?

Three levels of my existence will clash
When my present meets my future and my past
How long will my rationale last
When my present meets my future and my past?
