The song "Train Goes Faster" capture something so raw and universal: the fleeting nature of relationships, how people drift in and out of our lives like seasons. Some stay for a summer, others for a fleeting spring, but few are there for the long haul.
It’s a bittersweet truth, and the song’s imagery of a train speeding by feels like the perfect metaphor for how quickly time—and people—can slip away.
As we grow older, this transience becomes starkly clear. High school friends, once inseparable, get married, start families, and suddenly have little time to connect. Childhood companions move to distant countries, building lives of their own.
And some so-called friends only reach out when they need a favor—those are the ones better left to disembark the train, making room for new passengers who truly belong (as the song so aptly suggests).
Every season shapes me, leaving imprints of joy, lessons, and growth. The train keeps moving, carrying me toward new horizons, and I’ve learned to cherish the moments while embracing the journey’s inevitable changes.
On this ride called life, never lasts too long
When the train goes faster, let some people just get off
It keeps moving on
