Blame Time

I could blame time for everything
She counts the days like its mortal sin
I feel seasick on a sinking ship
How can i just forgive when you’re lying?
How can you just keep on smiling?
Like a fish the sun ruins me
Like a snake they shoo me




How can I just ignore all your sighing?
How can you just keep trying?

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from LionLimb's song "Blame Time" explore the complexities of relationships and the difficulties of letting go. The singer expresses their frustration and confusion in trying to move on from a toxic situation. By blaming time, they are acknowledging that the passing of time alone is not enough to heal wounds or mend broken trust.


The line "She counts the days like its mortal sin" suggests that time itself becomes a burden, as the singer feels trapped in a cycle of pain and regret. They feel emotionally unstable, comparing themselves to someone who is seasick on a sinking ship. The mention of forgiveness points to a betrayal or deception by the person they are addressing, which makes it difficult for the singer to let go and heal. Despite the pain, the other person appears to keep a facade of happiness and innocence.


The imagery of the sun ruining the singer like a fish and others shooing them like a snake reflects their feelings of vulnerability and being misunderstood. They question how they can ignore the other person’s obvious sadness and continuing efforts to maintain the relationship despite the pain. It showcases the internal conflict of having to choose between allowing themselves to be hurt further or finding the strength to walk away.


Overall, "Blame Time" delves into the complications of relationships, the struggles of forgiveness, and the internal battle of whether to hold on or let go in a toxic situation.
