No Time To Lose
Lizzy Borden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a curse of the times
A lover, a leaver, unfaithful deceiver
Your heartache is just in your mind
Give it up for tonight
Don't even care if it's wrong or right
Lust is too strong to fight
I feel your frustrations
I know your relations, you're trapped in a dream
A glass cage around you,
But now that I've found you
I'll shatter it and set you free
We're on the loose - we can't stop time
No time to lose - I'm yours tonight
And you're mine
Give it up for tonight
Don't even care if it's wrong or right
Lust is too strong to fight
Look to see your blinded sights
Chorus reprise (2x)
The lyrics of Lizzy Borden's No Time to Lose describe a situation where a person is in a relationship with someone who is not faithful and does not respect their feelings. The burning red thunder and the spell they are under refer to the intensity of their emotions and their inability to let go of the relationship. The chorus suggests that the person should give in to their lust and forget about what is right or wrong, because their desire is too strong to resist.
The second verse of the song acknowledges the person's frustrations and their feeling of being trapped in a dream, possibly indicating that they are in a relationship that is unsatisfying and unfulfilling. The metaphor of a glass cage around them suggests that they feel confined and constricted, unable to escape. However, the singer promises to shatter the cage and set them free, indicating that they want to help the person break free from their unhappy situation.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need to act now. The phrase "we're on the loose" suggests that the singer and the person they are addressing are free to do as they please, without fear of consequences.
