Lyrics
Time and I
Expressing the separation between Time and the speaker
Will grow apart
Anticipating a growing distance between Time and the speaker
Forever lasting
Emphasizing the enduring nature of this separation
But never enough
Suggesting that the enduring separation is insufficient
Time and I
Reiteration of the growing apart of Time and the speaker
Will grow apart
Repeating the idea of a developing distance with Time
We're running out
Highlighting the diminishing time available
Running out
Emphasizing the urgency with the repetition of "Running out"
Running out
-Time what you gonna do to me now?
Questioning Time's impact, feeling invaded, and expressing insignificance
Sneaking up behind
-Taking what is mine
-Nothing matters to you
-We are dust
Portraying the transient and fragile nature of human existence
We are dust
-There's no peace
Describing a lack of peace in the speaker's quiet moments
To my quiet
Pointing to the absence of tranquility
No escape
Conveying a sense of being trapped with nowhere to escape
Nowhere to hide
-There's no peace
Reiterating the absence of peace in the speaker's quiet moments
To my quiet
Repeating the theme of lack of peace and growing urgency
We're running out
Underlining the dwindling time with a sense of running out
Running out
-Running out
-Time what you gonna do to me now?
Questioning Time's impact, feeling invaded, and expressing insignificance (repeated)
Sneaking up behind
-Taking what is mine
-Nothing matters to you
-We are dust
Repeating the idea of human existence as transient and fragile
We are dust
-I've been drifting
Detailing the speaker's personal journey, struggles, and self-discovery
Searching in my core
-Replaced answers with questions
-Covered my skin with layers of fear
-Clenched my teeth
-Walked for hours upon hours
-With an echo in my steps
-Can I do this?
-I choked on air
-Soaked my body to awaken the mind
-Drank the wine
-Became aware
-I made this resolution
Declaring the speaker's resolution for solitude and personal growth
Solitude is my virtue
-Because minutes pass so fast
-And I want to stock up on tolerance
-Be spoon fed on knowledge
-Devour the unknown
-Let my branches grow
-Because uncertainty is assured
-As I leave youth behind
-And I'm okay
-Time what you gonna do to me now?
Repeating the theme of questioning Time's impact and feeling invaded (repeated)
Sneaking up behind
-Taking what is mine
-Nothing matters to you
-We are dust
Reiterating the transient and fragile nature of human existence (repeated)
We are dust
-We are dust
-We are dust
Final repetition of the idea that humans are dust, emphasizing transience
