Out of Time
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm always hoping things remain the same
You know I'm scared enough to take the blame
Everyday I get colder
Overthinking everything I say
You know I wish I could fade away
You know I'm terrified of all the change
Everyday I get older
I can feel the pain rushing through my veins
Breathing in for me, breathing out again tonight
We're running out of time
We're running out of time again
Feeling like I've lost a part of you
Stitch me up and heal the wound
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes again
Watching all the fire clear the room
Stitch me up and the heal the wound
Take the hate inside of misery
Cut it open, is it comforting?
Wish it would end this way
Everyday I get colder
Break away with every step I take
I can feel the pain rushing through my veins
Breathing in for me, breathing out again tonight
We're running out of time
We're running out of time again
Feeling like I've lost a part of you
Stitch me up and heal the wound
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes again
Watching all the fire clear the room
Stitch me up and the heal the wound
Take a second, look around to see
All the catastrophic life debris
Just wanna sleep and wake my dreams back to reality
Every moment is a picture made
Ever changing with slight decay
Don't be alarmed, the siren's armed
They're coming
We're running out of time
We're running out of time again
Feeling like I've lost all of you
Stitch me up and heal the wound
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes again
Watching all the fire clear the room
Stitch me up and the heal the wound
The lyrics of "Out of Time" by Above & Beyond convey a sense of regret, fear, and vulnerability. The singer acknowledges that they have not made any changes in their life and are clinging to the hope that things will stay the same. However, underneath this desire for stability lies a deeper fear. They admit to being scared enough to take the blame for their actions, suggesting they may have made mistakes or hurt someone. The repetition of the line "Everyday I get colder" reflects their growing emotional detachment and possibly even a sense of isolation.
The chorus depicts a sense of urgency and the realization that time is running out. The pain they feel is emphasized through the imagery of it rushing through their veins. They are haunted by the fear of change, getting older, and losing someone they care about. The plea to "stitch me up and heal the wound" suggests a desire for emotional healing and a longing for the connection that has been lost.
The second verse delves deeper into their emotional state. They mention the hate inside them and question if opening up and confronting their pain will bring any comfort. The lyrics reflect a sense of despair and resignation, wishing for an end to their suffering. The bridge adds a layer of introspection, acknowledging the impermanence of life and the inevitability of decay. The presence of sirens and the statement that "they're coming" adds a sense of impending danger or consequence.
Overall, "Out of Time" portrays a complex emotional journey characterized by fear, regret, and longing for connection. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the urgency to address emotional wounds before it's too late.
