RUNNIN’ OUT OF F* TIME
Annabelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna charge my phone 'cause
All the hype is just making me nervous
And their stories make me feel alone
Oh, so alone

Feels like one of those dreams, one of those dreams
Where you don't wanna be, don't wanna be
Feels like running in place, running in place
And burning out

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine

My third alarm has just gone off
Lately I struggle to roll out of my bed
I can hear every second that got lost
Forever lost

Feels like one of those dreams, one of those dreams
Where you don't wanna be, don't wanna be
Feels like running in place, running in place
And nothing moves

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine

Ooh, I'm just getting colder
Ooh, might earn a chip on my shoulder
Ooh, I can't stand being sober, oh
Ooh, and I never felt so old

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine

Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time
Nothing I say or do ever feels right, yeah
Wish I could go back to the days, ooh
Chillin' like I used to and everything felt fine





Feel like I'm running out of fuckin' time

Overall Meaning

In the song "Runnin' Out of F* Time" by Annabelle, the lyrics discuss the feeling of being overwhelmed by the pressure of society, social media, and time. The opening lines of the song, "I don't wanna charge my phone 'cause all the hype is just making me nervous and their stories make me feel alone, oh, so alone," illustrate this feeling of being isolated even in the vastness of social media. Despite the constant intake of information, the singer of the song feels alone and unable to connect with others.


The lyrics of the chorus "Feel like I'm running out of f* time, nothing I say or do ever feels right, wish I could go back to the days, chilling like I used to, and everything felt fine" touch upon the pressure that time can bring. The singer wishes for a simpler time when they could just relax and not worry about the future or the pressure to constantly be doing something. The lyrics reference the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward, "Feels like running in place, running in place, and burning out." The chorus repeats this feeling of running out of time, conveying a sense of urgency and anxiety.


The bridge of the song touches upon the destructive coping mechanisms one may use when feeling overwhelmed by time and pressure, "Ooh, I'm just getting colder, Ooh, might earn a chip on my shoulder, Ooh, I can't stand being sober, oh, Ooh, and I never felt so old." These lines convey the feeling of hopelessness and desperation felt in moments of stress and pressure.

Je mi tak hrozně smutno z toho, jak je Annabelle nedoceněná. Tahle holka reálné visela za nohy, byla zahrabaná pod zemí, tancovala u sopky a nechala si hlavu přejet lokomotivou. Co víc chcete lidi? 🥴 I Love this Girl #bigfan
