Out Of Time
Running Out of Time: A Youth's Battle with Self-Doubt and Desperation
Lyrics
Blow the candles try to breathe
Attempting to extinguish candles and take a breath, possibly denoting a birthday celebration or a moment of reflection.
Another year goes round
Another year has passed.
If I fall into the deep
Expressing a fear of falling into a profound situation or emotion.
Do you think I'll ever make a sound
Questioning whether one's actions or struggles will ever be noticed or acknowledged.
Lightning never strikes twice anyway
Suggesting that rare or unexpected events often do not recur.
That's all they ever seem to say
Highlighting common expressions used, possibly indicating a lack of genuine concern or understanding.
Wrap it up, paint it nice, dish it out okay
Encouraging to cover up or present things in an appealing manner despite internal struggles.
Fake a smile for another day
Forcing a smile to cope with difficulties for yet another day.
And I slip, take a hit to my perfect confidence
Experiencing a setback, damaging one's self-assurance or self-esteem.
Barely twenty I'm already running out of time
Feeling a sense of urgency or pressure despite being young, perceiving time as limited.
When everything goes to hell we can watch the sunrise
Seeing hope or beauty amidst chaos or difficulty.
So hold on to this
Encouraging to hold onto something valuable.
Don't blink or you might miss
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of valuable moments, urging not to miss or overlook them.
Hanging on by a thread of my sweet bliss
Holding onto a small amount of happiness or contentment, barely managing to do so.
Take a hit and I'll wait for it to fade
Anticipating the effects of taking a hit (metaphorical or literal) and waiting for it to diminish.
Can't wait not to feel this way
Expressing eagerness to stop feeling a certain way.
And I slip, take a hit to my perfect confidence
Reiterating a setback to confidence due to a mistake or obstacle.
If I sink before I swim don't let me drown
Hoping to be rescued if faced with a challenging situation before it becomes overwhelming.
Barely twenty I'm already running out of time
Reiterating a sense of urgency or feeling constrained by time despite youth.
When everything goes to hell we can watch the sunrise
Finding solace or beauty amidst chaos or difficulty.
Afraid to fall asleep at night
Expressing fear or reluctance to sleep, possibly due to worries or anxieties.
Pray I'll be alright
Praying or hoping for safety or well-being.
Afraid to fall asleep at night
Repetition of fear or hesitation towards falling asleep.
Pray I'll be alright
Continued hope or prayer for safety or comfort during the night.
Barely twenty I'm already running out of time
Reiterating a sense of urgency or feeling constrained by time despite youth.
When everything goes to hell we can watch the sunrise
Finding solace or beauty amidst chaos or difficulty.
Barely twenty I'm already running out of time
Reiterating a sense of urgency or feeling constrained by time despite youth.
(We're running out of time tonight, everything's out of mind and out of sight we're both just blinded by a light and if it goes to hell we'll be alright)
Expressing a feeling of losing control or understanding, relying on each other despite chaos.
When everything goes to hell we can watch the sunrise
Seeing hope or beauty amidst chaos or difficulty.
