Time Traveler
NetNobody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under grey skyline
Rain pours through the night time
I can't get my mind right
My brains on the headline
My past on the landline
Hard to step forward, when I′m walking on landmines
Flipping emotions, like slot machines
New ways of coping
Shit that I'm toking won′t calm the nerves just shut up for a moment
Let me breathe or I′ll lose it
Don't bring me back there
The mirrors in my bathroom become my worst nightmare
Awake but asleep, and I′m living these night terrors
I live in the future you're pulling me back here
You′re a time traveler
Live in the past livin' fast going backwards
A time traveler, oh
You′re a time traveler
Live in the past livin' fast going backwards
A time traveler, oh
You're a time traveler
Live in the past livin′ fast going backwards
A time traveler, oh
Baby I′m drowning under this spell living this hell
You bind me making me crazy, live my life faded just to cope alone
Webbed in my memories alone here remembering our broken home
Spreading its venom in love with the poison
I should probably be nicer
I did have decent memories mixed
With the torture so it's cool now right?
I shouldn′t be bothered when i sleep at night
I guess that's just how life goes
Fall back in line take it by the nose (by the nose)
Baby I′m drowning
Under the spell live in this hell
You by me making me crazy live my life faded just to cope alone
Webbed in my memories alone here remembering our broken home
Spreading its venom in love with the poison
The lyrics of NetNobody's song "Time Traveler" present a feeling of being trapped in a cyclical and suffocating existence. The singer expresses his lack of control over his emotions, thoughts and actions, feeling as if his life is bounded in a never-ending loop. His mind is invaded by memories that alternate between joyful moments and past traumas. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is self-medicating to cope with anxiety and depression, but it's not enough to soothe him as he's always on the brink of losing his mind. He begs for a respite, a moment to breathe, to escape from the onslaught of his past and embrace his future. Yet, he also fears going back to his old life as it could undo his progress and drag him back into misery.
The song explores the theme of time, the past, present and future, and how they all coexist and interact with each other, shaping our lives. The lyrics depict a time traveler who cannot escape his past, no matter how far ahead he travels into the future. The song highlights the struggle to maintain a sense of self in a time where the past and present are inextricably intertwined, and how we cope with the memories that haunt us.
