Lyrics
Time, you moving fast
Time moves swiftly, progressing rapidly
Thiefing all the sand from the hour glass
Metaphorically steals away moments from the hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time
Time, you moving fast
Reiteration of time's rapid movement
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
Repetition emphasizing time taking away moments relentlessly
There is no pretender, no contender for your crown
There's no one who can imitate or rival time's supremacy
Into dust you grind them down
Time reduces everything to dust, overpowering all attempts to oppose it
Against you who could last
No one can withstand time's effects
When what is present is already past
The present quickly becomes the past in the face of time's movement
Time you bad like a crab
Time is likened to a crab, implying its aggressive and unrelenting nature
You don't ask you reach out and grab
Time takes without permission, seizing moments without asking
No manners at all
Criticizing time for its lack of manners, its relentless nature
Always eating, belly never full
Time is insatiable, always consuming without satisfaction
So why you can't just take a break
Questioning why time doesn't pause to reflect on what it has already consumed
To digest what you already ate
Asking time to take a break to process what it has taken
Time, you moving fast
Reiteration of time's rapid movement
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
Repeated emphasis on time stealing moments from the hourglass
Against your hand there is no defense
No defense against the passage of time
And though we go to great expense
Despite efforts to conceal time's passing, it affects everyone
To hide your passing and its signs
Attempts to hide the signs of time's passing are futile
We know you don't leave no one behind
Time doesn't spare anyone, affecting all equally
Time you bad like a beast
Time compared to a beast for its fierce and unrelenting nature
You only give what you intend to thief
Time only takes what it intends to consume
You pull the tree out from the seed
Metaphorically describes time's action of taking away potential and vitality
Then suck the green from out the leaf
Time drains life and energy, leaving behind emptiness
You pelt the sun from east to west
Time controls the movement of the sun across the sky
Time, why you don't give yourself a rest
Questioning why time doesn't give itself a break
Time, why you moving so
Questioning the reason behind time's swift movement
Why you always in a rush to go
Wondering why time is always in a hurry
Everything made by our hand
Human creations are transient, just like a sandcastle
Is just a castle built of sand
Everything made by humans is fragile in the face of time's passage
Waiting for that coming wave
Metaphorically waiting for a destructive force (wave) to erase human creations
That will wash it all away
The inevitability of time's erasure of human achievements
Time, why you can't stick around
Asking why time can't linger or stay longer
Why you always have to rush along?
Questioning time's constant movement and inability to pause
There is no escaping you
Acceptance that no one can evade the influence of time
You are the course we all run through
Time is an inevitable part of everyone's journey
The clock is ticking in the square
The presence of a clock serves as a constant reminder of time's omnipresence
To remind us all that you are there
A clock symbolizes time's continuous existence and presence in our lives
