Killing Time
Infected Mushroom (Feat Perry Farrell) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I can kill you)
Close to me
You open the cage and he sets you free
Come to me
(we run away forever from this misery)
Lost my mind
Are you calling me
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now
(So how can it be)
The color of the world had turned dark on me
(Falling free)
Losing my reflection and my clarity
(Talk to me)
I feel the sickness taking over me
(Let me be)
Imagining that you are here with me
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now
The lyrics of "Killing Time" by Infected Mushroom reflect a feeling of being trapped in one's own mind, and struggling to escape from the past. The song highlights the sense of isolation and confusion that a person experiences when they have no control over their own thoughts and feelings. The opening lyrics "In my dreams, (I can kill you)" portray a sense of aggression and anger towards someone who once had control over the singer's life. By expressing that they can only kill this person in their dreams, the singer is acknowledging that they cannot completely escape the past, and that it continues to haunt them.
The lines "Killing time that I left behind, everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around" reveal the singer's frustration with their inability to let go of their past. The phrase "Killing time" can be interpreted as both trying to make time go faster and trying to eliminate time altogether, indicating the singer's desire to escape the painful memories associated with the past. The final lyrics "It's coming for you now" show the singer's struggle to avoid confronting their past, but ultimately the past catches up with them, forcing them to face it.

In my dreams
I have thoughts of killing you in my subconscious mind
Close to me
You are near me and within my reach
You open the cage and he sets you free
You have been released from a difficult situation
Come to me
Join me in running away from our current sorrows
Lost my mind
My mental stability has been compromised
Are you calling me
Are you trying to get my attention
Killing time that I left behind
I am trying to forget my past and move forward
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
Things can move in the opposite direction when they seem to be at their peak
I'm always falling down
I keep experiencing constant setbacks
It's coming for you now
Your problems are catching up to you
The color of the world had turned dark on me
The world seems bleak and uninviting to me
Losing my reflection and my clarity
I am struggling to see my true self and my purpose
I feel the sickness taking over me
I am suffocating under emotional pressure and pain
Imagining that you are here with me
I am picturing you as a source of comfort and support
