So Little Time
Operator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you get what you've wanted
Back from me?
Will get what you need
Wearily?

Got so little time
On my hands
Takes a little time
for love to die
Anger in my eyes
Makes me blind
Got so little time

Will you look in the mirror
Finally?
When you look at me
Don't you see?

Got so little time
On my hands
Takes a little time
for love to die
Anger in the eyes
Makes me blind
Got so little time

Got so little time
On my hands
Takes a little time
for love to die
Anger in my eyes




Makes me blind
Got so little time

Overall Meaning

The song "So Little Time" by Operator is a reflection of a broken love affair. The lyrics are filled with questions and accusations that the singer is asking to his/her partner. The first verse begins with the question, "Will you get what you've wanted back from me?" This line emphasizes the fact that the relationship has suffered a significant loss, and the singer is questioning his/her partner's motives. The singer then follows up with another question, "Will you get what you need wearily?" suggesting that the partner is now seeking to regain something that they never had in the first place.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the time element, "Got so little time on my hands, takes a little time for love to die." The singer is making a reference to the fact that they have lost so much time invested in this relationship, and it is now dying. The anger in their eyes makes them blind, emphasizing that the singer is blinded by the betrayal they feel, and they can't see the good anymore.


The second verse asks another question, "Will you look in the mirror finally?" suggesting that the partner has not taken responsibility for their role in the relationship's demise. When the singer asks, "Don't you see when you look at me?" they are suggesting that the partner has not recognized the pain they have caused.


Overall, the song contains a lot of emotions, frustration, and bitterness that come with a failed relationship. The depiction of the lack of time for love to die is a central theme of the song.
