I'm Outta Time

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here is a song
It reminds me of when we were young
Looking back at all the things we've done
You gotta keep on, keepin' on

Out to sea, it's the only place I honestly
Can't get myself some piece of mind
You know it's getting hard to fly

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I have to go,
In my heart you grow
And that's where you belong

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I have to go,
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I have to go
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong

Guess I'm outta time
I'm outta time
I'm outta time




I'm outta time
I'm outta time

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Outta Time" by Oasis is a reflection on the past and the inevitability of the future. The opening lyrics "Here is a song, It reminds me of when we were young, Looking back at all the things we've done" establishes a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the past. The idea of keeping on, keeping on is an acknowledgement that there is no changing or altering the past, but rather one must keep moving forward.


The next few lines express a sense of restlessness and a desire to escape. The line, "Out to sea, it's the only place I honestly, Can't get myself some piece of mind" can be interpreted as the need to disconnect from the world and find peace in solitude. However, the following line "You know it's getting hard to fly" indicates a struggle to find that peace.


The chorus of the song poses the question of what will happen when the inevitable happens and the singer falls. Will those around him applaud or hide? The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of the question and highlights the uncertainty of the future. The final line, "Guess I'm outta time" is a recognition that time is finite and that the end is looming.
