Out of time
Excision feat. Dion Timmer & Splitbreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shut
I'm bleeding through the blindfold
I try to rush the feeling, but where's the time go?
I try to rush the time, but what do I know?
I know it takes time to let your mind grow
Once it's gone you can't backtrack
The watch is ticking you can't go back
The clock waits for no man.
Times up.
Broken hands on the clock make for a hard climb
With the world on your shoulders you need a hard strive
In the studio tryina spit out a hard rhyme
Like the rocks in my watch these are hard times
But I guess it ain't gone
Tomorrow will come
All we have is today
I'll leave my soul on the drum
I'll leave my voice on the kick
Leave my heart on the run
Rushing who I've met in this game
Gotta take your shot when it comes
Blow
Can't just wait and let your time go
Can't let you go
Watch your time go
Can't let you know
Once it's gone you can't backtrack
The watch is ticking you can't go back
All you have is now, but that's never enough
The clock waits for no man.
Times up.
The song "Out of Time" by Excision feat. Dion Timmer and Splitbreed speaks about being lost in time and rushing to make the most out of it, but realizing that time waits for no one. The opening lines, "Eyes wide, shut, I'm bleeding through the blindfold," suggest being blind to the passage of time, with the metaphorical blindfold representing our ignorance of the fleeting nature of time. The lines, "I try to rush the feeling, but where's the time go? I try to rush the time, but what do I know?" suggest the singer's struggle to make the most of their limited time, without truly comprehending its value. They then come to the realization that taking time to let your mind grow is essential, as once it's gone, you cannot backtrack.
The chorus, "Once it's gone you can't backtrack, the watch is ticking you can't go back, all you have is now but that's never enough, the clock waits for no man. Times up," drives home the message of the song. The broken hands on the clock and the hard times are used as metaphors to depict the feeling of pressure building up, and the need to strive harder. The lines, "Tomorrow will come, all we have is today, I'll leave my soul on the drum, I'll leave my voice on the kick, leave my heart on the run," suggest the urgency to leave a mark upon the world and make the most of the present moment.

Lyrics:
Eyes wide shut I’m bleeding to the blindfold.
I tried to rush the feeling but where the time go?
I tried to rush the time but where do I know?
I know it takes time to let your mind grow.
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
(Drop) 0:55
InstrumentalBroken 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
InstrumentalOnce 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
(Drop again) 2:34

You fucking killed it at skyway theater! I'm glad I got to experience the executioner stage!! March 28th 2015 was the best night of my life!

Probably my favorite Excision track, the melodies and the drops are all so, so great! <3
@DriftersDiesel
0:55 is one of the heaviest and most powerful drops that I've ever heard. So much energy. Holy mother of hardline bass.
