No Time
Grebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No time to wake up, no time to fall asleep,
No time to make a stand, no time to take a seat,
No time to be off guard, no time to be aware,
No time for conversation, no time for silence anywhere.
And it's a fucked up world, cos nobody cares about you,
I've got no time
I've got no time
I've got no time
GO!
I've got no time
I've got no time
I've got no time
No Time!
In Grebo's "No Time," the lyrics paint a picture of a rushed, chaotic world where there is no time for rest or relaxation. The song portrays a sense of urgency, with the repetition of the phrase "no time" emphasizing the frantic pace of life. The lyrics state that there is no time to wake up, fall asleep, make a stand, take a seat, be off guard, or be aware. The line "no time for conversation, no time for silence anywhere" suggests that the fast-paced lifestyle has made communication and reflection nearly impossible. The song then takes a darker turn with the line, "It's a fucked up world, cos nobody cares about you, you never get what you want, cos your self esteem is through." This lyric implies that the fast-paced life has negative effects on mental health and self-esteem.
One interesting fact about "No Time" is that it was featured in the 1996 cult classic film "Trainspotting." The song plays during a scene in which the character Renton is detoxing from heroin. Additionally, "No Time" was covered by the electronic group The Prodigy for their album "The Day Is My Enemy." The cover version features samples from the original Grebo song, as well as new vocals from The Prodigy's lead singer, Keith Flint.
