Lyrics
Time is up, I don't know where you are
Time is up, uncertain about your whereabouts.
Sands run down, I can't see that far
Running out of time, unclear future.
Are you shot straight back into another star
Wondering if you've returned to another existence.
Where your mouth it moves, but the words don't come
Speaking but no meaningful words are expressed.
You don't give it another thought
Disregarding the situation without reflection.
Little round peg in a big square slot
Feeling out of place or mismatched in a larger context.
Strangest son in a big top coat
Unusual individual in a conspicuous outfit.
If you go that far then that's all she wrote
If you venture too far, consequences are final.
Win or lose you've got the Berlin blues
Regardless of the outcome, experiencing a sense of loss in Berlin.
Your back's to the wall
Facing a difficult situation.
Winner take all, take all
Emphasizing the competitive nature of life where the winner takes all.
I know the face can you remember the name
Recognizing a familiar face but struggling to recall the name.
You know the one with the silicon plan
Referring to someone with a calculated plan involving silicon (possibly artificial intelligence).
The high step roller from the Argentine
Describing a flamboyant person from Argentina.
The one they all called the 'Wolverine'
Labeling this person as the 'Wolverine.'
You kept your back to the wind
Maintaining a secretive and clean image.
And your tracks so clean
Avoiding detection with careful actions.
They all wanted to get to you
Others eager to reach or understand you.
They all wanted to know if it was true
Curiosity about the authenticity of your character.
Were you standing in the shadows in old Kitzbuhl
Questioning if you were present in a specific location.
Getting oh so high when you turned the screw
Alluding to a time of influence or control.
Could you feel us there, did you know that we knew
Awareness of observers who knew about your actions.
Win or lose
Reiterating the theme of winning or losing.
I see a light, I can hear a voice as someone says
Perceiving a positive sign or guidance.
You're going home for good tonight
Suggesting a return home with finality.
If you win or lose, you've got the Berlin blues
Reconnecting the Berlin blues to winning or losing.
When you back's to the wall
Being in a challenging situation.
Winner, take all take all
Emphasizing the competitive nature where one must take all.
They'll try to tell you that's all
Rejecting the idea that it's over with just that.
Winner take all, all
Reiterating the theme of winner takes all.
