Time Takes Time
Dusted Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like murdering them all?
Feel like bashing in their skulls?
Feel like getting even?
‘No, not even at all.’

I’ll bide my time, a cloud of smoke

Feel like breaking all their bones?

‘Feel like getting out of here out of self-preservation alone

I’ll bide my time, a cloud of smoke, a thin outline
I'll bide my time’

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dusted's song "Time Takes Time" convey a sense of intense anger and frustration towards someone or something. The opening lines "Feel like murdering them all? Feel like bashing in their skulls? Feel like getting even? 'No, not even at all.'" suggest that the singer is seething with rage, but is also conflicted about acting on their violent impulses. The line "no, not even at all" could be interpreted as the singer trying to quell their anger and resist the urge to act out, even though they may feel driven to do so.

The repeated phrase "I'll bide my time, a cloud of smoke" suggests a sense of patience and restraint on the part of the singer. The imagery of smoke could symbolize a sense of being obscured or hidden, or perhaps a sense of being able to fade into the background and avoid confrontation. The lyric "feel like getting out of here out of self-preservation alone" suggests that the singer may be feeling threatened or attacked in some way, but is choosing to prioritize their own survival over any desire for revenge or retaliation.

Overall, the lyrics to "Time Takes Time" are emotionally charged and convey a complex mix of anger, frustration, and restraint. The singer seems to be struggling with intense feelings of aggression, but is also aware of the need to exercise self-control and wait for the right moment to act.
