Timezone
Maneskin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're wearing my old clothes
But you, you wear it better
And every time I see your face
The moon should be jealous
And I keep talking to the wall
Till he's a friend of mine
I call you every hour just to tell you
That I'm losing my mind

Now I know you're sleeping
Where I'm supposed to be?
Wish I could've stayed
The only thing that keeps us apart
Is seven thousand miles
Running like a mad dog

The only thing that keeps us apart
Is a different timezone
So fuck what I'm dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I'm coming home
The only thing that keeps us apart
Is a different timezone

Tomorrow I've got another plane
I'm not gonna take it
Mmm, instead I'm gonna fly straight to you
I paid double for the tickets
And I don't give a shit about
The contracts that I signed
And they can say whatever
We'll be making love
I'm fucking you tonight

Now I know you're sleeping
Where I'm supposed to be, eh?
Wish I could've stayed
The only thing that keeps us apart
Is seven thousand miles
Running like a mad dog

The only thing that keeps us apart
Is a different timezone
So fuck what I'm dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I'm coming home

The only thing that keeps us apart
Is a different timezone

So fuck what I'm dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I'm coming home




The only thing that keeps us apart
Is a different timezone

Overall Meaning

The song "Timezone" by Måneskin narrates the story of a person in love who is struggling to cope with a physical distance between them and their partner. The lyrics convey emotions of longing and desire to be in the same place with the person they love.

The second stanza continues to emphasize the physical distance between the two individuals, with the singer questioning where their partner is while they're in bed alone. The repetition of the line "The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone" serves to reinforce the idea that their love for each other is stronger than time difference.


The third stanza delivers a surprise twist, with the singer proclaiming their intention to fly straight to their loved one instead of taking a different plane. They acknowledge the challenges that come with fame and how it affects the meaning of their life, but their love for their partner is more valuable than that. The song ends with another mention of the timezone, which serves as a reminder of the distance between the two, but the intention to bridge that distance.


Overall, the lyrics of "Timezone" capture the vulnerability and longing of a long-distance relationship. The song speaks to the challenges and difficulties that come with being far apart from someone, but also the determination to overcome those challenges in the name of love.

You’re wearing my old clothes
But you, you wear it better
And every time I see your face
The moon should be jealous
And I keep talking to the wall
Till he’s a friend of mine
I call you every hour just to tell
You that I’m losing my mind

Now I know you’re sleeping
Where I’m supposed to be
Wish I could’ve stayed
The only thing that keeps us apart
Is 7 thousand miles
Running like a mad dog

The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone
So fuck what I’m dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I’m coming home
The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone


Tomorrow I’ve got another plane
I’m not gonna take it
Instead I’m gonna fly straight to you
I paid double for the tickets
And I don’t give a shit about
The contracts that I signed
And they can say whatever
We’ll be making love

Now I know you’re sleeping
Where I’m supposed to be

The only thing that keeps us apart is 7 thousand miles
Running like a mad dog

The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone
So fuck what I’m dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I’m coming home

The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone
So fuck what I’m dreaming, this fame has no meaning
I’m coming home
The only thing that keeps us apart is a different timezone
