OUT OF TIME
Dala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where's the love song
to set us free
Too many people
down, everything turning
the wrong way 'round
and i don't know what
love would be
but if we stopped dreaming
now Lord knows we'll never
clear the clouds.

And you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning
gently out of time.

Feel the sunlight
on your face
it's in a computer
now gone on a future
way out in space

And you've been so busy lately
that you haven't found the time
to open up your mind
and watch the world spinning
gently out of time

Tell me I'm not dreaming
but are we out of time
out of time




out of time
out of time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dala's song "Out Of Time" highlight the lack of love in society and how everything seems to be going the wrong way. The opening lines talk about the absence of a love song that could set people free from their troubles. The singer feels lost and unsure about the concept of love, and she fears that if people stop dreaming, they will never be able to clear the clouds and see the brighter side of life. The second verse is a call for people to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world around them. Rather than being caught up in the busyness of life, the singer urges people to take a moment and feel the sunlight on their faces. The third verse talks about how technology has advanced so much that the sunlight that was once a natural phenomenon is now being produced by computers and sent way out into space. The final lines "Tell me I'm not dreaming, but are we out of time?" indicate the singer's sense of urgency and desperation to find answers to the problems plaguing society.


Line by Line Meaning

Where's the love song
Where is the anthem that can unshackle us from our woes


to set us free
that will liberate us


Too many people
Excessive humans


down, everything turning
Demoralized, everything becoming negative


the wrong way 'round
Clockwise motion is reversed


and i don't know what
I am unsure of what


love would be
Love is supposed to mean


but if we stopped dreaming
In the event that we stopped believing in our desires


now Lord knows we'll never
Sooner or later, we'll discover that we will never


clear the clouds.
Dispel the fog of gloominess


And you've been so busy lately
Recent activities have taken up too much of your time


that you haven't found the time
With so many distractions, you haven't had the chance


to open up your mind
To liberate yourself from mundane activities long enough to focus on something more important


and watch the world spinning
To witness the mesmerizing rotations of the earth


gently out of time.
In a calm manner as the planet's clock ticks away


Feel the sunlight
Perceive the warmth of the sun


on your face
On your countenance


it's in a computer
Seemingly scientific knowledge accrued digitally


now gone on a future
Dispatched to an undisclosed point in time


way out in space
Located in the vast expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere


Tell me I'm not dreaming
Assure me that what I'm envisioning is not a figment of my imagination


but are we out of time
Is it too late for us


out of time
Too late


out of time
Too late


out of time
Too late

One Step At A Time – Jordin Sparks

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
(when you need to find the strength)
It’s your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

One step at a time
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight (when you need to find the strength)
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, and got it all figured out

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight (when you need to find the strength)
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

Hurry up and wait
Bergegaslah dan tunggulah
So close, but so far away
Begitu dekat, tapi begitu jauh
Everything that you always dreamed of
Segala yang selalu kau impikan
Close enough for you to taste
Cukup dekat hingga bisa kau rasa
But you just can't touch
Tapi kau tak bisa menyentuhnya

HOOK
You wanna show the world but no one knows your name yet
Kau ingin tunjukkan pada dunia tapi tak seorang tahu namamu
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
Bertanya-tanya kapan, dimana dan bagaimana kau kan melakukannya
You know you can if you get the chance
Kau tahu kau bisa melakukannya jika kau dapat kesempatan
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Di depan wajahmu dan pintu terus terbanting
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
Kini kau merasa semakin frustasi
And you getting all kinda impatient
Dan kau semakin tak sabar
Waiting, we live and we learn
Menunggu, kita hidup dan kita belajar

CHORUS
To take one step at a time
Tuk mengambil langkah satu per satu
There's no need to rush
Tak perlu terburu
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
Seperti halnya belajar terbang, atau jatuh cinta
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
Akan terjadi jika memang saatnya terjadi
And we find the reasons why
Dan kita temukan alasan kenapa
One step at a time
Melangkah satu per satu

da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da

You believe, and you doubt
Kau percaya, dan kau ragu
You're confused, and got it all figured out
Kau bingung, dan kau temukan jawaban
Everything that you always wished for
Segala yang selalu kau harapkan
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
Bisa menjadi milikmu, harus jadi milimu, kan jadi milikmu
If they only knew
Andai mereka tahu

HOOK
CHORUS


When you can't wait any longer (you can't wait)
Saat kau tak sabar lagi
But there's no end in time (when you need to find the strength)
Tapi tak ada batas waktu (Saat kau harus temukan kekuatan)
It's your faith that makes you stronger (the only way we get there)
Keyakinanmulah yang membuatmu lebih kuat (satu-satunya jalan untuk sampai di sana)
The only way we get there
Satu-satunya jalan untuk sampai ke sana
Is one step at a time
Adalah melangkah satu per satu

CHORUS (2x)

This will always be my motivational song. That it's not good to rush and force yourself in achieving your dreams. You gotta do it "One Step at a Time" ❤️💪

I'm currently in my first year of medical school and there are some days where I feel like I am not good enough or smart enough... hearing this song this past week made me remember that life is a journey where we should take every day as one step at a time. Hope to come back to this comment 4 years from now and let y'all know how it went :)
