Children of Time
IMAScore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wastelands of Light in the Dark
Children of Time torn apart

So lost and incomplete
Our missing plans for peace
My father, broken heart
An abstract piece of art
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

And they know
Through the blight




They all know
Children of Time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to IMAScore's song Children of Time touch on the theme of the devastation that has taken place, leaving behind a wasteland, and the struggles faced by those who lived through it. The opening line "Wastelands of Light in the Dark" speaks to the idea that despite the emptiness and desolation that surrounds them, there is still a hint of hope and light, no matter how small.


The following line, "Children of Time torn apart," suggests that the surviving individuals have been shattered in some way, whether it be physically or emotionally. The feelings of loss and sadness are further emphasized in the lines "So lost and incomplete/Our missing plans for peace/My father, broken heart/An abstract piece of art."


The repeated "oh's" throughout the chorus add a haunting quality to the song as if the singer is trying to lift the spirits of the Children of Time. The final lines "And they know/Through the blight/They all know/Children of Time" suggests a sort of unity among those who have endured and survived.


Line by Line Meaning

Wastelands of Light in the Dark
We are living in a world that is filled with darkness, but there are still some small pockets of hope and light.


Children of Time torn apart
Despite being part of the same humanity, we are divided by our differences and are often fighting against each other.


So lost and incomplete
We are all searching for a sense of belonging and purpose, yet we often feel like we are wandering aimlessly without direction.


Our missing plans for peace
As a society, we have failed to come up with effective solutions to conflicts and to create a world free from war and violence.


My father, broken heart
Personal tragedies can leave us feeling shattered and hopeless, and these feelings can continue to haunt us for years to come.


An abstract piece of art
Sometimes life can seem chaotic and confusing, like a piece of art that doesn't have a clear meaning or purpose.


Oh oh oh oh oh
This line serves as a chorus and doesn't have a specific meaning on its own.


And they know
Despite our struggles and conflicts, there are still people who understand and empathize with our pain and suffering.


Through the blight
Even in the darkest moments, there are still glimmers of hope and opportunities for growth and change.


They all know
Our shared experiences of pain and loss bring us together as a human family, and we can find comfort and connection in this knowledge.


Children of Time
This phrase represents all of humanity, regardless of our differences or divisions.

END OF SILENCE – CHILDREN OF TIME (Traducción)
Wastelands of Light in the Dark
Tierras Baldías de Luz en la Oscuridad
Children of Time torn apart
Los Hijos del Tiempo destrozados

So lost and incomplete
Tan perdidos e incompletos
Our missing plans for peace
Nuestros planes de paz perdidos
My father, broken heart
Mi padre, el corazón roto
An abstract piece of art
Una abstracta pieza de arte

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

And they know
Y ellos lo saben
Through the blight
Tras el infortunio
They all know
Lo saben todo
Children of Time
Los Hijos del Tiempo

Пустоши света во тьме
Дети Времени, разорванные на части

Так потерянные и неполные
Наши недостающие планы на мир
Мой отец, разбитое сердце
Абстрактное произведение искусства

О, о, о, о, о,
о, о, о, о,
о, о, о, о,
о, о, о, о, о, о

И они знают
Сквозь упадок.
Они все знают
Детей Времени.

I always thought it was “A missing puzzle piece. Life of a broken heart” and “An abstract piece of modern art”
