Da5id Din and Matthew Crofoot, two Boston studio owners, decided to become Informatik in 1993 after recognizing common musical tastes.
The duo, who had previously worked separately as Acme Disco Machine and Struktur, began recording and released their debut album Direct Memory Access on Sinless Records. The second volume of the album was released two years later. ~ John Bush
A Matter of Time
Informatik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I held my tongue in silence, taken
In all my life, I never dreamed someone like you
Could be true; now I know it's you
Wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'm tearing apart anticipating
It will not be long until you'll be mine
Then you were gone; you disappeared right out of sight
You were the one, above all, I knew
You left a hole deep in my heart that will not heal
The time has come to find you; I will
Wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'm tearing apart anticipating
It will not be long until you'll be mine
You'll give me your heart; just a matter of time
And there you are; I can't believe my own two eyes
The day has come; I found you, it's true
All this time, and now I finally realize
My wish come true; now I'm here with you
Wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'm tearing apart anticipating
It will not be long until you'll be mine
You'll give me your heart; just a matter of time
I want you, I need you
I've got to be near you
Wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'm tearing apart anticipating
It will not be long until you'll be mine
You'll give me your heart; just a matter of time
The lyrics of Informatik's song "A Matter of Time" narrate a story of a person who unexpectedly falls in love with someone. At first, the person is awestruck by the beauty of their lover and is never really believed that someone like them could exist. However, after a short while, the lover disappears, leaving the singer with an empty and sad feeling. The character is determined to find their love at any cost, and ultimately, they do search the world to find their missing lover. When they finally do see their lover again, they can't believe their eyes, and they know that they want to be with them always. The song explains that no matter where the other person is, the singer will find them and wait for them. In the end, the singer finally gets to be with their lover.
The lyrics to this song tell a typical love story, akin to a fairy tale. It is a depiction of someone who falls in love with somebody and never imagined that they could find someone like them. The singer of the song is mesmerized and enchanted by the lover's beauty, and this is implied by the line, "your beauty caught me by surprise, I held my tongue in silence taken." The second stanza of the song describes sorrow and longing, as the lover leaves, and the singer can no longer enjoy the beauty around them as they still wait for their love to return. In the third stanza, the singer finally finds their partner and describes the overwhelming feeling of seeing them again. There is a sense of closure and completeness at the end of the song, which emphasizes the promise of love.
