B.Toriyama a.k.a. fmtr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I guess I must express all my views
Test the less and go adress all my blues
Chess, assess and then repress every bruise
Guess all the screws I got loose got their roots
Guess the excuse I produce for a truce
Can't help induce all the news that I crave
Nor can they pay all the dues that I made
To keep on repeat as I overdrink text
From an over prinked vex that knows my cords
The clovers pink hex that served as wards
As I swerve towards the point of no return
I'm reminded of times I had what I yearn
But the more that I learn, the more it shatters
To the passage of time, nothin' really matters
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
Your crescent incessant to provide me some light
You pleasant depressant that's supplying my nights
Acquiescent and present to repay my debt
Whether small or a sweat or to relay a threat
Even delay a net cuz cash has relinquished
Still not extinguished, still I'm distinguished
Bathin' in pink mist is all I've known
So how could resist be all that I've sown
All that I've grown is still not enough
Don't feel at home when the goin' gets tough
When supported I bluff, it just feels weird
But still I yearn to have my seals cleared
No need to park your wheels no one ever stays
No matter the time we all sever ways
Sooner or later it's never belated
The passage of time is always serrated
Encased, unlaced and stuck feelin' debased
Retracin' embrace that I've forever displaced
This place that I'm stuck with I don't really fuck with
A chained nomad to scared to just chuck shit
Blessed and unlucky, test the untrustin'
Stressed and disgustin', pressed from adjustin'
Assess the entrustin', nah that ain't right
Implied shit they spit, nah that ain't spite
Every day is fight that I can't afford
So if I'm forced to go it's of my own accord
All aboard, this train with no brakes
It's supposed to be that you play with no stakes
But the shapes that arranged took will in exchange
For workin' 'til you're far past deranged
Let the worms in and let 'em get a taste
'Til the passage of time finally sets it straight
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
Green leaves turn gold and all the
Clouds all block the sun
Time waits for no one
You can't hide and you can't run
In the song "Passage" by B.Toriyama, the lyrics delve into themes of existentialism, introspection, and the transient nature of time. The verses express a feeling of being overwhelmed and pressured by societal expectations, as well as a desire to express one's own views and address personal struggles. The lyrics use chess as a metaphor for navigating through life's challenges and repressing emotional wounds. The mention of loose screws and excuses for a truce suggests a sense of internal turmoil and the need to find resolution.
The chorus emphasizes the passage of time and its indifference towards individuals. The image of green leaves turning gold and clouds blocking the sun symbolically represents the fleeting and changing nature of life. The lyrics suggest that time waits for no one, and with this realization, one cannot hide or run from the inevitable. The mention of a crescent as a source of light and a depressant supplying the nights conveys a complex relationship with external influences that can both comfort and bring sadness.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of yearning for a deeper sense of connection, whether it be to find one's place in the world or to have personal struggles understood. The lyrics raise questions about identity, the pursuit of success, and the fleeting nature of relationships and experiences. Ultimately, the passage of time is presented as a constant reminder that in the grand scheme of things, nothing really matters.

Continuously replaying and obsessing over messages
From an over prinked vex that knows my cords
From an overly meticulous machine that understands my emotions

The protective magic spell of pink clovers

Internal fire hasn't been extinguished, remaining unique
Bathing' in pink mist is all I've known
Being surrounded by a fog of uncertainty and confusion
So how could resist be all that I've sown
Questioning why resistance is the outcome of one's actions
All that I've grown is still not enough
Despite personal growth, it feels inadequate
Don't feel at home when the goin' gets tough
Feeling out of place during challenging times
When supported I bluff, it just feels weird
Feeling uncomfortable pretending to be strong when receiving support
But still I yearn to have my seals cleared
Desiring clarity and resolution
No need to park your wheels, no one ever stays
No need to settle down, as people always depart
No matter the time we all sever ways
Regardless of the duration, everyone eventually separates
Sooner or later it's never belated
Eventually, it's never too late
The passage of time is always serrated
The flow of time is always fragmented and unpredictable
Encased, unlaced and stuck feelin' debased
Trapped, untied, and feeling humiliated
Retracing embrace that I've forever displaced
Recalling an embrace that has been lost or forgotten
This place that I'm stuck with I don't really fuck with
Disliking the current situation or environment
A chained nomad too scared to just chuck shit
A constrained wanderer afraid to let go of belongings
Blessed and unlucky, test the untrustin'
Both fortunate and unfortunate, examining those who lack trust
Stressed and disgustin', pressed from adjustin'
Feeling anxious and repulsive, overwhelmed by readjusting
Assess the entrustin', nah that ain't right
Evaluate the reliance, no, that's not accurate
Implied shit they spit, nah that ain't spite
Understanding the implication of their words, no, it's not out of malice
Every day is fight that I can't afford
Every day is a struggle that one cannot handle
So if I'm forced to go it's of my own accord
If compelled to depart, it's by personal choice
All aboard, this train with no brakes
Join the journey on a train that cannot be stopped
It's supposed to be that you play with no stakes
The expectation is to participate without risking anything
But the shapes that arranged took will in exchange
But the patterns that formed took determination in return
For workin' 'til you're far past deranged
For laboring until one becomes mentally unstable
Let the worms in and let 'em get a taste
Allowing problems to infiltrate and experience their impact
'Til the passage of time finally sets it straight
Until time resolves and clarifies the situation
Green leaves turn gold and all the
The transition of vibrant leaves to golden tones
Clouds all block the sun
The obstruction of sunlight by clouds
Time waits for no one
Time does not pause or wait for anyone
You can't hide and you can't run
Escaping or avoiding time's influence is impossible
