The song "Time Trials" by Joy Again is about a person who feels broken and held back in life. They feel like they are struggling to hold the pieces of themselves together, but just when they start to feel hopeful, something comes along to bring them down again. The lyrics suggest that this person is tired of feeling this way and wants to break free from these negative emotions. They have sold their precious memories and sacrificed their success, and are looking for a way to find meaning and completeness in life. The song is an introspective look at the struggles of growing up and finding one's place in the world.
