The Time Machine

The Time Machine Lyrics ~ written by Lisa Sanders, created using Suno ai

Tick, tock, gears in motion,

Hidden key, secret notion.

Antique sale, they didn’t see,

What this dusty box could really be.

Wrapped my arms around my father tight,

Wish I’d told him more before he said goodnight.

All the time I wasted, words left unsaid,

Going back in time, thinking about that woodshed.

Tick, tock, turn the dial,

Found a time machine buried in the pile.

They didn’t know what they had in their hands,

But I dusted it off, now I’m making my stand.

One hidden key set the whole thing in motion,

I’m racing through time with a heart full of devotion.

Henry hauled the wrecks, knew the roads by name,

Tried to teach me, but I played a different game.

Wish I’d learned how to drive that bulldozer,

Going back in time so I’m not somebody’s gopher.

Tick, tock, turn the dial,

Found a time machine buried in the pile.

They didn’t know what they had in their hands,

But I dusted it off, now I’m making my stand.

One hidden key set the whole thing in motion,

I’m racing through time with a heart full of devotion.

If I could have found you sooner on this winding road,

We’d have more years before the clocks got old.

Every laugh, every kiss, every dream in your eyes,

I’d give you forever if time could rewind.

Tick, tock, turn the dial,

Found a time machine buried in the pile.

They didn’t know what they had in their hands,

But I dusted it off, now I’m making my stand.

One hidden key set the whole thing in motion,

I’m racing through time with a heart full of devotion.

Tick, tock, gears slow down,

My Future’s waiting, and I’m homebound.

No more running, no disguise,

The past is gone, but love never dies.

Love will never die.

So here is the meaning behind the song.

Verse 1 is about the bond between a father and a son. Namely, between my husband, Eugene, and his father. His father passed away back in 1997. There was a lot of unspoken words between them. Lets just say – their relationship was not good. His father did a lot of things that he did not agree with and we will leave it at that because that is not my story to tell.

Verse 2 was about Henry. Henry was a father figure to Eugene when he was a teenager. Henry took him under his wing and treated him like his son. He had a very good relationship with Henry but, being a teenage boy, he had other things on his mind. He did not take advantage of opportunities that presented itself.

Verse 3 is about the relationship he has with me. We have been married going on 32 years. We only got together after both of us divorced. My story, I can tell and you will probably hear more about it as time goes on. Eugene doesn’t mind if I tell the story he had with his ex wife – that is free game.

So, although he hasn’t found that time machine in an antique estate sale yet. It is something that could possible happen. You know how you open a box full of memories. There will be old pictures possible love letters or postcards? Well, this is kind of like that. The key is about love. Love opens a box of memories. I put that idea with three things that happened in the past. I hope that you can relate to this song in some way, shape or form.

With that being said ~ Suck it up, Buttercup!

You’re Close. Keep Looking-you’ll find it. ~Chat GPT Dream Interpretation.

If you don’t know this, I would like to share this with you. If you dream, like I do, you can ask Chat GPT to interpret the dream. I have done this before and it is very insightful and Free!

Here is my dream that I had last night.

I was driving our car. My hubby was with me. We were cruising about town, not looking for anything, when we came across a yard sale in a building. We stopped in so my hubby could have a look. My husband had an old flip phone that he lost, so we had gotten him a new smart phone. We could hear the flip phone ringing, but it was undoubtedly lost somewhere in the car. We couldn’t find it. While he was in the building looking around, the car transformed into a couch. I was tearing apart the couch, hunting for the flip phone. I’d found my car keys on the ground underneath the couch. I did not find the old cell phone.

Here is Chat GPT’s response

This dream could symbolize feeling like something important is missing or out of reach, even though it should be right there. Here are some possible interpretations:

  • The Phone as Communication & Change – Your husband upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone could represent a transition in communication, technology, or even adaptability in life. The fact that you both hear it but can’t find it suggests frustration—perhaps there’s something you’re struggling to grasp or adjust to in waking life.
    • The Car Turning into a Couch – A car represents movement, control, and progress, while a couch represents comfort, rest, and home life. This shift might symbolize a transition from being in control and active to feeling stuck, passive, or in a more relaxed state than intended. Maybe there’s something in life where you feel like you were moving forward, but now you’re in a place of waiting or searching.
    • Searching and Losing – Losing the phone (which represents connection, direction, or information) yet being able to hear it suggests that you’re aware of something important but can’t quite get a hold of it. Finding your car keys but not the phone could mean you have the ability to move forward (keys = control), but something crucial is still missing (communication, clarity, or direction).
    • Yard Sale in a Building – Yard sales often represent sorting through past experiences, memories, or opportunities. The fact that it was in a building might mean this is more structured, organized, or tied to a specific part of your life rather than random or fleeting.

    Possible Real-Life Connections:

    • Are you or your husband going through a transition (technological, personal, or emotional) that feels frustrating or unclear?
    • Do you feel like there’s something you should understand, but no matter how hard you try, it remains just out of reach?
    • Do you feel like life has slowed down or shifted unexpectedly in a way that makes you feel less in control?

    The dream might be nudging you to focus on something that feels “lost” but is actually within reach—you just need a new way to look for it. Does any of this resonate with you?

    OMG Yes!

    I had a feeling this one hit close to home! It sounds like your subconscious is really trying to work through something—probably that sense of something being right there but just out of reach. Maybe there’s a solution or clarity coming, but you just haven’t spotted it yet.

    If you want, we can dig even deeper—like what’s been happening lately that might be making you feel this way? Or do you already have an idea of what this dream is pointing to?

    So I went to work and came back to ask if there could anything else possible to the dream that I cannot think of and here is what Chat GPT said.

    I totally get that—some days are just too packed to sit and reflect! But since I know a lot about you, I can definitely offer some more insights that might help connect the dots.

    Possible Personal Connections to Your Life:

    The Phone as a Symbol of Your Creative Work

    • You’ve been diving deep into your Sims storytelling, music, and YouTube content. What if the phone represents something creative that you’re working on but just can’t quite “find” yet? Maybe an idea or a direction for your projects that you know is there, but you’re struggling to pinpoint it.
    • The fact that you hear the phone but can’t find it could mirror how you feel about your creative journey—like you’re so close to something big, but it’s still just out of reach.

    The Car-to-Couch Shift: Feeling Stuck vs. Moving Forward

    • The car turning into a couch is a huge clue. You’re used to being on the move—working full-time, running your YouTube channel, making music—but maybe something has recently made you feel stuck or like you’re in a waiting phase instead of making progress.
    • Could this be connected to your dream of becoming a full-time YouTuber? Maybe you feel like you should be “driving” that dream forward, but in reality, you’re in a stage of planning, experimenting, or waiting for things to take off.

    Your Husband’s Role & the Yard Sale

    • Your husband being there and actively looking for something (at a rummage sale, no less!) might tie into how the two of you interact with goals and change.
    • Since he’s going inside while you’re stuck searching, could this reflect how you sometimes feel like you’re doing the work behind the scenes while he gets to explore other interests? (Not in a negative way—just that you may feel like you’re handling more than your share of responsibilities in certain areas.)
    • The yard sale setting could symbolize sorting through old habits, ideas, or past experiences. Maybe you’re trying to “pick out” what’s still useful and what needs to be let go.

    So What’s the Big Picture?

    This dream might be your subconscious telling you:

    • You’re searching for something important (a creative spark, clarity, progress) that you know is there but feels frustratingly out of reach.
    • Life has shifted in a way that makes you feel like you’ve gone from driving forward to sitting still, and that could be unsettling.
    • You might be sorting through ideas, priorities, or even doubts about what’s worth keeping vs. what to let go of.

    What do you think? Does any of this make sense with where your mind has been lately?

    I think you have hit the nail on the head. I feel frustrated that I can’t find the right content to put on my Youtube channel yet that will make it take off. I kind of feel like I am holding myself back because I do have 3 and a half years yet before I can retire from my full time job and Youtube will feel like it will be full time job. Everyday after coming home, I come straight to my computer to check my stats. To see how many views I have, etc. It is like that song you helped me write “Fear in Me.” It is about how I self sabotage myself in everything I do and it has taken off on Youtube.

    That makes so much sense. You’re in this weird in-between space—wanting to push forward with YouTube but knowing that, realistically, you still have your full-time job for a few more years. It’s like you want to be driving full speed ahead, but something keeps shifting you into “pause mode” (just like the car turning into a couch).

    And the fact that Fear in Me is doing well on YouTube? That’s huge! It shows that people connect with the emotions you put into your work. Maybe the key to your YouTube channel taking off isn’t about “finding the right content” as much as leaning into what’s authentic to you—just like that song.

    It’s okay to feel frustrated, but don’t let it make you doubt yourself. You’re already proving that your creativity resonates with people. Maybe this dream is your mind’s way of telling you, You’re close. Keep looking—you’ll find it.

    Here is the last video I did on my Youtube channel where I asked Chat GPT to interpret a dream. And, that dream let me to write the song “Monetized Dreams” which you can also find on my Youtube Channel.

    She was never satisfied…

    You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

    Perfection is the name of the game.

    After living 55 years you would think you knew her name.

    But not everybody does, and not everybody will.

    But that is okay because she is over that hill.

    She has been through a lot,

    Ever since she was a tiny tot.

    She went through tough times,

    She has learned she could rhyme.

    But she didn’t know, it’s okay to be different.

    And it’s a good thing was was literate.

    I’m not your puppet

    So, I asked Chat GPT to write me a song similar to my last song called Fear In Me. I was going to use the same style of music 🎵🎵🎶 but fir some reason that song just doesn’t work for me. I will insert that song below.

    So I took that song and turned it upside down 👇 I think this is just better made for a male to sing it. Please let me know what you think.

    So here above is the first one by a female. I thought it turned out good but after tweaking the lyrics and changing things up, I think the male version is just better. I am not putting the female version on my YouTube channel but I did make it public on my Suno Public Playlist. If you would like to check it out, I will put the link to Suno ai below. So, yeah, thanks for listening. And I hope you had a good day. Let me know if the link does not work or you can google Suno and look me up. My User name is @lisasaimusic or Lisa’s AI Music & Visuals. I use the same picture so you will know it is me.

    Dream Interpretation about my dog

    On ChatGPT, you can ask it to interpret a dream. Last night I had a dream about one of our four dogs. I have been thinking a lot about our little weenie dog we lost years ago. He had been hit by a vehicle, and we had to put him down. But I am confused about what this dream added, so I decided to ask ChatGPT to find out what the symbols meant.

    Here is the dream: Our dog Buddy went missing. We were looking everywhere. We went to my husband’s parents house. They didn’t know where he was either, but I was snooping around and after opening a closet door, and there he was. His father had put him in the closet. This made me think about another dog we had that died and was killed by a vehicle on the road. This made me think that his father had also put that dog in the closet, and we just didn’t know it. What do you think this means?

    What an emotionally rich and vivid dream, Lisa! Here’s a possible interpretation:

    Buddy Going Missing

    • Buddy’s disappearance could symbolize feelings of loss, concern, or fear of losing something (or someone) precious in your life. Dogs often represent loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love. This might connect to your deep bond with Buddy or your general fear of losing loved ones.

    Finding Buddy in the Closet

    • The closet represents something hidden or suppressed—possibly unresolved feelings or secrets. Discovering Buddy there, placed by your father-in-law, could point to underlying concerns or mistrust, either related to him or symbolic of authority figures in your life.
    • It might also reflect a subconscious need to explore hidden parts of your life or relationships to resolve past fears or doubts.

    Connection to the Past Dog

    • The memory of the dog that died suggests lingering grief or unresolved feelings about that loss. This might resurface in moments of worry about your current dogs. Your dream could be a way of processing fears of history repeating itself or unresolved questions about the past.

    Your Father-in-Law’s Role

    • Your father-in-law placing Buddy in the closet could symbolize attributing responsibility or blame for situations that feel out of your control. It might also reflect deeper concerns about trust or dynamics in family relationships.

    Overall Meaning:
    The dream seems to blend your love for Buddy, your grief for a past loss, and perhaps unresolved feelings about family or control over situations. It could be inviting you to reflect on hidden emotions, past experiences, and how they affect your present.

    What do you think? Did any of this resonate?

    So that would be a good AI response that really got me thinking differently about what the dream meant. I have lots of dreams and this is just one of many.
