Running Out of Time
Artension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something is missing
Driving me insane
These feelings in my brain
Dark fear...so real
Sanity lives so far away from here
The world is in my stage, but I'm running out of,
Running out of time
Somehow the light is fading
To unholy darkness
Night destroys the day
It's so hard to find my way
Dark fear...so real
Sanity lives so far away from here
Dangerous age, I'm running out of time
The world is in my stage, but I'm running out of,
Running out of time
The lyrics of Artension's song "Running Out Of Time" touch on the theme of change, fear, and the feeling of running out of time. The first verse conveys the singer's realization that something is lacking in their life as they undergo a transformation. The experience is causing them to feel insane and the feelings in their brain are creating a feeling of a missing puzzle piece. The next line about "sanity living so far away from here" emphasizes how overwhelming the change can become by losing touch with reality.
The second verse brings forth the theme of a loss of direction. The light is fading, and the darkness that is unholy takes over. It causes the destruction of the daytime to become permanent, and it becomes harder to navigate. The lyrics "dark fear...so real" emphasizes that the anxiety the singer feels is legitimate and the darkness of their mental state is tangible. The chorus of the song describes the experience of the singer's dangerous age running out of time, and they are on this global stage of opportunity but feel like time is running out.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of existential angst and a fear of change, allowing the listener to empathize with the singer's struggles. The song's theme reflects on how some things are out of control, and that feeling can become overwhelming.
