Time Is Running Out
Evil Conduct Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreaming of a future, of something that will last
So many dreams to follow, but time goes by so fast
Wanted to be famous, when I turned twenty-four
No one seems to know me though, I think I know the score

Time is running out on me
Time is running out
How long does it take to see
That time is running out on me
Time is running out on me
Time is running out
How long does it take to see
That time is running out

I wanna earn a fortune, I wanna own a plane
Need to find a way now, I have to use my brain




I hoped to be a millionaire, at the age of thirty-five
I haven't got a penny though, I really hate my life

either if one of my pets died or one of my friends.. this song makes me feel strong in some times, cause i know the time is running out on me too! live your life untill its end and stay strong matter what comes!!! in some years we will see us again and drink partying in heaven or valhall or whatever.. it doesnt matter about people who die, doesnt matter if you did sth embarrasing. you only need to learn about life untill it ends with no fear in your heart. Do what you want to do and stay strong! i love you all guys even if i hate you..
