MR.TIME   
ANDRE HARIHANDOYO & SONIC PEOPLE         

Here i am alone, talking to my shadow
And time's flapping by, just to make fun of me
I hate the time, it keeps running away, taking you along on the road
And i refuse to go
I don't wanna go with you
I'm waiting for the time to stop, and deliver you back to me
And i'll hold you tight, i'll hide you in my pocket
It will never take you again
Excuse me.
Do you have my time?
No i don't ask it all, just a little of your 24-7
I hate the time, it keeps running away, taking you along on the road
And i fell down, i fell down




I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting

Overall Meaning

The song Mr. Time by Andre Harihandoyo & The Sonic People is a poignant and soulful reflection on the inevitability of time and the pain of loss. The singer describes being alone and talking to his shadow, as time seems to mock him by passing swiftly and taking his beloved with it. He hates time for pulling his loved one away on its inexorable journey, and he resists going along with it. He longs for time to stop so that he can be reunited with his lost love and keep them safe in his pocket, never to be taken away by time again. The singer implores time to give him a little bit of itself - just a fraction of its unyielding 24/7 march - so that he can retrieve what he has lost. He seems to have fallen down in despair and is waiting for something to change, for time to relinquish its hold on his happiness.


The lyrics of this song are quite universal and relatable, as they tackle the themes of loss, longing, and the relentless march of time. They capture the feeling of helplessness that often accompanies grief, as well as the desperate desire to turn back time and reclaim what has been lost. The singer's yearning for a tiny piece of time is especially poignant, as it suggests that even a little bit of precious time with a departed loved one is worth more than all the world's riches. The melody and arrangement of the song are also quite beautiful, with spare instrumentation that allows the emotion of the lyrics to shine through.
