We are running out of time
We are facing a limited amount of time.
We are running out of time
Emphasizing the urgency, repetition of the idea that time is running out.
We are running out of time
Continuing the theme of time running out, suggesting a sense of immediacy.
We are running out of time
Reiterating the concept of time slipping away, possibly indicating concern or pressure.
Time, time, time, time
Further emphasis on the overarching theme of time.
Is there anyone out there, in oblivion?
Pondering if there is anyone present, possibly feeling isolated or unnoticed.
Try and get yourself out there
Encouragement to make an effort to be noticed or recognized.
You can sink or swim
Metaphorically, facing challenges where one can either succeed or fail ("sink or swim").
Straight to the next one
Moving forward to the next challenge or phase.
Consumed by dark night
Feeling overwhelmed by a metaphorical "dark night," symbolizing challenges or difficulties.
Just don't close your eyes
Advising to stay vigilant and not ignore the challenges ("don't close your eyes").
Your nothing more, but a trick in the light
Suggesting a lack of substance or significance, being just a fleeting illusion.
We are running out of time
Reiteration of the overarching theme of time slipping away.
We are running out of time
Continuing the urgent message that time is running out.
Time, time, time, time
Repeating the significance of time in the context of the lyrics.
We are, we are, we are
Repeating the communal awareness that collectively, time is running out.
We are, we are, we are
-We are, we are, we are
-We are running out of time
Repeating the central theme of running out of time, building a sense of inevitability.
We are running out of
-We are running out of time
-We are running out of
-We are running out of time
-We are running out of
-We are running out of time
-We are running out of
-Time, time
Final emphasis on the importance of time as a critical element.
