No Time
Neon Arcadia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't even know your name but i can see you playing all the right games
I don't mean to be the one who says without your fame we look the same way
I don't wanna hustle no drug or bustle things up to get my own way
I just wanna be the one who's taking over my fate

We can leave it all behind
Take an army just to find
We can leave it all for better days

Take a lesson from the past
Nothing's ever built to last
Just be happy that the motor runs

With our live's in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous
With our live's in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous
Save your throne for somebody else.
With our lives in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous

Take another shot in the dark, and now you got sparks in all the wrong lanes
There's a road that leads to your house but everything else got lost in the fade
If you wanna turn it around, it's never too late until it's too late
Take another lesson my friend, don't wait til the end

We can leave it all behind
Take an army just to find
We can leave it all for better days

Take a lesson from the past
Nothing's ever built to last
Just be happy that the motor runs

With our live's in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous
With our live's in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous




Save your throne for somebody else.
With our lives in front of us, there's no time to be dangerous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neon Arcadia's song "No Time" convey a sense of urgency and a desire to seize control of one's own destiny. The singer acknowledges that they don't know the person they are addressing, but they can see that this individual is engaging in manipulative behavior to achieve their own goals. The singer, however, doesn't want to resort to deceit or manipulation, they simply want to take charge of their own fate.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of not wasting time and leaving behind negative influences or situations in pursuit of something better. It suggests that learning from the past is crucial, as nothing is permanent or built to last. Instead of dwelling on this impermanence, the singer urges the listener to be grateful for the opportunities they have and to keep moving forward.


The second verse continues the theme of taking charge of one's own life. It highlights the consequences of making misguided choices, represented metaphorically as sparks igniting in all the wrong directions. Despite the setbacks, the singer suggests that it's never too late to turn things around and emphasizes the importance of learning lessons along the way, rather than waiting until it's too late.
