Time Machine

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make 'em feel it
Smoke it to myself then drink it to myself
Then thinkin' to myself that I'ma need some help
'Cause I'm cryin' inside and I'm dyin' inside
But I'm always outside 'cause I need a little wealth
I been thinkin' 'bout the future, I been thinkin' 'bout the past
Yeah, you sleepin' with a partner but you dreamin' all alone
So, I'm a firm believer for believin' in yourself
Rats out, snakes is lightnin' on the grass
While I'm steppin' on the gas, no rust on the brake discs
Stayin' out the way purple day in the hood
Back then when we was killin' all that mixtape shit (facts)
Homies got down and they died outta town gettin' money
Swear to God that's some real heart-break shit
Me and wifey high while we headed to the 'Sty lookin' fly
Playin' Faith while we celebratin' greatness
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
I had my shares of ups and downs
Faced my fears when no one's around
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Dark thoughts in a dark room
Dark tint on a dark car, buy a dark suit
Talk about the hood after one, it be part two
It could be kill at will, niggas get you harpooned
Just a gorilla in the monsoon
Short nigga but strong as Gorilla Monsoon
This is real life, you niggas real as a cartoon
I ain't tryna knock you but come sit on the bar stool
We could chatter over a bark shot
Where I'm from niggas get nervous when the narcs stop
Gotta ask your man if hit when the sparks stop
Go and get your money, my nigga, don't let the art stop
(Get your money, my nigga) I'm just tryna see the sunset
Put the chair on the sand, I'm gettin' dumb wet
Got a couple of drinks, I'm gettin' dumb wet
I'm just on the grind, my nigga, I'm gettin' dumb checks (just on the grind)
Ghost
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
I had my shares of ups and downs
Faced my fears when no one's around
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
I'm know that I'm God but I ain't playin' Christ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know pain, look at me, I done paid the price
They say he paid dues then I done paid him twice
Did a million times over but I'ma be aight
When I die, I'ma be the smoke flowin' through the night
It wasn't spoken word if it wasn't spoken right
If you ain't on the hustle then you ain't hopin' right
When opportunity knock, you need shit to open right
Ghost
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
I had my shares of ups and downs
Faced my fears when no one's around
I had enough time to think
I'm on a time machine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The lyrics to "Time Machine" by P. Willsher & K. Chesher describe someone who is lost in a time machine, with a black blank screen and no understanding of how to operate it properly. The computer doesn't understand what they're trying to do, and they're swirling around in time without knowing how to control it. It's clear that they're very alone and scared, with no access to food, water, or a way to communicate with anyone in the present. They've lost their senses and are starting to lose their mind, hoping that someone will find them soon before it's too late.
The song is an eerie commentary on the dangers of seeking to control time and change the past or future without considering the potential consequences. The singer in the song is representative of the human desire to have power over the unknown and the future, and the consequences that can arise from messing with the natural flow of things. It's a warning to those who seek to manipulate time, that they might not be able to handle the consequences of their actions, and that they may be putting themselves in great danger.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm lost in a time machine
I am disoriented and stuck in a device that can transport me through time
All alone with a black, blank screen
I am isolated and have no visual reference point in this time machine
The computer doesn't understand what I mean
The technology controlling the time machine is unable to interpret my commands properly
In a time far away from now
I have traveled to a point in time that is distant from my present day
I'm swirling around but I don't know how
I am spinning uncontrollably and cannot maneuver the time machine
It doesn't matter which button I press
The buttons on the time machine do not have the desired effect
Nothing happens at all
My attempts to modify my situation are futile
Through the time I fall and fall
I continue to drift through time, unable to stop or make progress
How could I miss the warning light
I failed to notice an indicator of a critical problem with the time machine
If I hadn't I wouldn't be out of sight
I am lost and stranded because I did not recognize the warning sign
I'm out of water, I'm out of food
I am deprived of basic necessities and cannot sustain myself
It's getting hard to breathe, this doesn't look good
My situation is becoming increasingly dangerous and may lead to my demise
I'm losing my senses, I'm losing my mind
The prolonged isolation and distress is causing me to become mentally unstable
I hope somebody finds me soon here out in the time
I am desperately seeking rescue and assistance from someone in the timeline I am stranded in
