Time Erases Time
Night Verses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just when it's all gone, I'll be the chord cut in every connection.
Shaking relations, bastard, prosthetic faces.
Just when it's all gone, I'll be the past erasing time.
Can't you leave the coldest coast behind?
I want you to know you're better left alone.
Just when you're choking...
A passionate, constant burning.
Pull back, abrasive.
All I need is time.
Just when it's all gone, I'll be the past erasing time.
Panic the world.
Passionate, mental state.
I'll be the noose at the end of the world.
The lyrics to Night Verses's song "Time Erases Time" are dark and intense, portraying the idea of being there for someone when they are at their lowest point. The opening lines, "Just when you're breaking, strung out on disappearing, just when it's all gone," convey the sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer is experiencing. However, they are also offering themselves as a source of strength and support for the other person.
As the song progresses, the themes of disconnection, isolation, and emotional pain become more apparent. "Shaking relations, bastard, prosthetic faces" represents the struggles of maintaining relationships with people who don't understand or don't care about the singer's problems. The line, "Can't you leave the coldest coast behind?" may refer to leaving behind a negative or toxic environment or relationship.
The chorus, "Just when it's all gone, I'll be the chord cut in every connection," is a powerful metaphor for the singer's role in this situation. By being the "chord" that connects everyone, they are also able to cut those connections when necessary to help others move on. The ending lines, "Passionate, mental state, I'll be the noose at the end of the world," are haunting, suggesting that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to support the other person, even if it means sacrificing themselves.
Overall, "Time Erases Time" is a complex and emotionally charged piece of music that explores the depths of human connection and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.
