Time Machine
Heaven Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there's a part of you
That needs to run with the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Now look like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never comes
Go on and jump,yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forger the pain
It's only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When you've open up your eyes
You've got to see the promises they've made
They're bloody lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
[Chorus]
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Somewhere you've never been
You're living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You'll see you've got invisible chains
They're only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent screams
[Chorus]
You're living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where you've never been
?? somewhere you don't know
You're living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are
Be what you've never been
Someone you've never seen
You're living in a time machine
Yeah

Oh what are you gonna do
What action will you take?
When there's a part of you
When a portion of you
That needs to run with the wind
Needs to be free and unencumbered
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Memories of the past
Can only light the way
Can guide a path forward
To lead you from
To move you away from
The garden of the dark
Sadness and pain
Stay out of shadows
Avoid negativity
Now look like the change is on
Change is coming
Tomorrow's never gone
Tomorrow always exists
Today just never comes
Procrastination leads to missed opportunities
Go on and jump,yeah
Take a risk, a leap of faith
Into the hurricane
Into a dangerous situation
You will forger the pain
You will forget the pain
It's only there
The pain exists only to
To exorcise your mind
To help you let go of negative thoughts
Looking at the world
Observing the world
When you've open up your eyes
When you finally see clearly
You've got to see the promises they've made
You must recognize the false promises
They're bloody lies and broken dreams
Their promises are lies and unattainable
Your silence screams
Your inaction is deafening
You're living in a time machine
You're stuck in the past
And you can choose just who you are
You have the power to change
Someone that you've never seen
Become someone new, unexpected
Somewhere you've never been
Explore new places and experiences
Nobody cares just where you go
Your choices are your own
Taken where you've never been
Finding new adventures
?? somewhere you don't know
To an unknown place
Why do you stay who you are
What keeps you from changing yourself?
Be what you've never been
Embrace change in order to grow
Someone you've never seen
Becoming a better version of yourself
You're living in a time machine
Repeating cycles of the past

The raw energy and musical talent of this line-up will probably never be seen again.
But if they ever invent a time machine, I know where I'm going.

A grossly underrated metal album! Super heavy and well written and produced.
@HumpX
Iomi makes it all look so effortless.
@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544
He does, and he does it with a smile on his face, you can tell this is Iommi's element, on stage he's constantly smiling, laughing, having a good time, all the while playing some of the heaviest music known to man. Love him, he is a total fucking original.
