Creed is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida formed in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums; their second, Human Clay (1999), received diamond (11x platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, has sold over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.
For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite unfavorable critical reception; Marshall left the band in 2000. Human Clay remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open"—which also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.
Creed reunited in 2009, releasing their fourth album Full Circle and performing several tours before separating again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited once more in July 2023 and announced their headlining of the Summer of '99 cruise festival in April 2024.

2. Creed was formed in 1977 by vocalist Steve Ingle and guitarist Luther Maben. Enlisting the services of Hal Butler (keyboards), James Flynn (bass), and Chip Thomas (drums), they were soon signed by Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1978 and was notable for "Time and Time Again," an epic southern-style guitar workout, comparable in stature to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird." Unable to attract enough media attention, the band split up shortly after the album's release.

3. There is also a German Christian metal band called Creed. They have released at least one album called "Sign of Victory" on the Pure Metal label in 1992.

Can't quite put my finger on it
The difference that makes us so different
We've said everything
Our words only betrayed us
Nothing is left nothing was left unsaid
This time I have nothing left to lose
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine
You cover yourself you cover your skin
Your cover yourself like you cover your sins
Please untie my hands
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand
This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine
Will you be there
To catch when I stumble when I fall
When I fall'
It's so very clear
You left me when I had no one at all
No one at all
Who will be there
To catch me, to catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
It's so very clear
You left me with no one at all
No one at all
This time I have nothing left to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine
No friend of mine
Time, you're no friend of mine
No friend of mine
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
Hey time you're no friend of mine
The pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Time
Time you're no friend of mine
The lyrics of Creed's "Time" describe a situation of frustration and helplessness with the passing of time. The singer expresses how he cannot quite put his finger on the reason for the differences that separate him from another person. The two have spoken and communicated everything they could, but their words only betrayed them, and nothing was left unsaid. The singer's feelings of desperation and inability to find a solution are highlighted in the line, "This time I have nothing left to lose, I'm stuck, the second hand won't move."
The singer implores the other person to see him for who he is, and not just a superficial persona shown to the world. He is asking for the opportunity to be understood, and to understand the other person better. The line, "You cover yourself like you cover your sins" displays this desire to go beyond the surface and be genuine.
The singer realizes that time is not his friend, and that he cannot hold on to the past. The line "Without any choice, I move on" highlights that the process of moving on is inevitable, and one cannot control time. The singer is not asking for pity or sympathy but rather pleading for someone who will be there to catch him when he falls.
Overall, the lyrics of "Time" express the frustration and desperation that comes with the passing of time, and the singer's desire to understand and be understood by someone.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't explain
I am unable to describe
Can't quite put my finger on it
I cannot exactly figure out what sets us apart
The difference that makes us so different
There is something unique that separates us
We've said everything
We've talked enough
Our words only betrayed us
Our communication failed us
Nothing is left nothing was left unsaid
We have nothing more to say to each other
This time I have nothing left to lose
I am taking a risk and have nothing to lose
I'm stuck the second hand won't move
Time seems to stand still as I am unable to progress
It's about time that I speak my mind
It's necessary for me to express my thoughts and feelings
It's about time, about time to find pieces of me I have lost
It's time to rediscover and recover parts of myself that I have lost
Without any choice I move on
I am forced to move forward without hesitation
Hey time, you're no friend of mine
I feel like time is against me
You cover yourself you cover your skin
You hide yourself, protect yourself from judgement
Your cover yourself like you cover your sins
You protect yourself from shame like you protect yourself from sin
Please untie my hands
I am asking to be freed from my constraints
I'm a sinner, I'm a man
I am flawed, I am human
I ask for one minute to make you understand
I request a brief period to clarify my intentions
Will you be there
Will you support me
To catch when I stumble when I fall
To help me recover when I make mistakes
It's so very clear
It's obvious to me now
You left me when I had no one at all
You abandoned me when I was alone and vulnerable
Who will be there
Who can I rely on
To catch me, to catch me when I stumble
To support me when I need to be caught
You left me with no one at all
You deserted me without any support system
No friend of mine
Time is not on my side
The pieces of me I have lost
The parts of myself that have disappeared
Time you're no friend of mine
Time is not working in my favor
