OUT OF TIME
Excision & Dion Timmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

-Instrumental-
Eyes wide, shut, I'm bleeding through the blindfold
I try to rush the feeling but where'd the time go?
I try to rush the time but what do I know?
I know it takes time to let your mind grow
-Instrumental-
Once gone, you can't backtrack (backtrack)
Watch is ticking, you can't go back (go back)
All we have is now, but it's never enough
The clock waits to know man
Time's up
-Instrumental-
Broken hands on a clock before a hard climb
Put the world on your shoulders, you need a hard spine
In the studio trying to spit out a hard lie
Like the rocks in my watch these are hard times
Hearing yesterday's gone, tommorow will come
All we have is the day, I'll leave my soul in a trauma
I'll put my voice on a kick
Leave my heart and my brain rushing
Imagine this game
Gotta take the shot when it comes
-Instrumental-
Once gone, you can't backtrack (backtrack)
Watch is ticking, you can't go back (go back)
All we have is now, but it's never enough
The clock waits to know man




Time's up
-Instrumental-

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Out of Time" by Excision & Dion Timmer are profound and meaningful. The song speaks about the value of time and the importance of living in the present moment. The artist begins by describing a state of being that is caught between awareness and unawareness; Eyes wide, shut, I'm bleeding through the blindfold. The blindfold here can refer to many distractions that we put on ourselves, stopping us from seeing clearly. We try to rush the feeling, but time flies by, and we lose track. As we try to rush time, we realize we need to be patient because it takes time to let your mind grow.


The second verse speaks about how once time has gone, you can never fully go back. The watch is ticking, reminding us to value the present moment, as all we have is now, but it's never enough. Time waits for no man, and when the clock runs out, it's up. The clock here can be a metaphor for our life, and when it runs out, it's our time to leave this world. The artist further adds how life is tough, and we need to be strong and resilient to handle it. We need to put the world on our shoulders and have a hard spine to carry its weight. The lyrics encourage us not to think too much about yesterday or tomorrow but to live in the day, giving our best to everything we do.


Overall, the song "Out of Time" encourages us to live in the present moment and value time above all else. We need to learn to be patient and resilient, handle life's challenges, and live for today as tomorrow is never promised.

[Verse 1: Splitbreed]
Eyes wide shut, I'm bleeding through the blindfold
I try to rush the feeling but where'd the time go?
I try to rush the time, but what do I know?
I know it takes time to make your mind grow

[Hook: Splitbreed]
I'm asking where did the time go
I'm rushing, you know
Watching the time go
I'm rushing, I'm rushing, yeah
Once it's gone, you can't backtrack
The watch is ticking, you can't go back
All we have is now, but it's never enough
The clock waits for no man, time's up

[Verse 2: Splitbreed]
Broken hands on the clock make for a hard climb
With the world on your shoulders, you need a hard spine
In the studio tryna spit out a hard line
Like the rocks in my watch, these are hard times
Yeah, well yesterday's gone, tomorrow will come
All we have is today, I lay my soul on the drum
I put my voice on the kick, beat my heart on the run
Russian roulette in this game, gotta take a shot when it comes

[Hook]

Put the world on your shoulders, you need a hard spine

In the studio trying to spit out a hard lie
Like the rocks in my watch these are hard times

Hearing yesterday's gone, tommorow will come

All we have is the day, I'll leave my soul in a trauma

I'll put my voice on a kick
Leave my heart and my brain rushing
Imagine this game
