Time Is Running Out
Muse攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Asphyxiated
I want to break the spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I want to play the game
You will be
The death of me
Yeah, you will be
The death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
But I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'll never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this
You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this
"Time Is Running Out" is a song by British rock band Muse. The song is a fusion of alternative rock and electronic music with dark and haunting lyrics that explore toxic relationships and the loss of control. In the first verse, the singer feels like they are drowning, suffocating under the spell of their partner. They want to break free from it and the game they are playing, but they are addicted to the friction and sense of elation that the relationship brings.
The chorus underscores the urgency of the situation, with the repeated refrain, "our time is running out." The singer refuses to let their partner bury, smother, or murder their feelings or their freedom. They are trapped in a fixation that they know will ultimately lead to their demise. The outro is a repeated statement that the partner will suck the life out of the singer, driving home the desperate and hopeless nature of the situation.
The song is likely a commentary on relationships that are toxic or abusive, where one partner controls or dominates the other and the other feels they are losing themselves in the process. The repeated lines "you will be the death of me" and "you will suck the life out of me" convey the sense of impending doom in such a relationship. Overall, "Time Is Running Out" is a powerful track that combines music and lyrics to convey a strong emotional message.

本来挺喜欢你讲棋的。结果你总是挑许仙输的局讲,好不容易讲赢棋的对手又不是特级大师。把一代宗师讲成这样,太令人失望了,差评
