Killing Time
P. Willsher & T. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
God knows I tried
But no one understands me
The black sheep of the family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I can take it there, ride with me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
I keep my eyes on the stars
That's where I come from
Belt of Orion
Son of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
The Lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting
Butterfly
The lyrics of P. Willsher and T. Kelly's song "Killing Time" describe the life of someone who is struggling to find a purpose and meaning in their existence. The singer is portrayed as someone who is a rebel and a misfit, always getting into trouble and looking for escapism through drugs, alcohol, and other means. The line "Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya" could be interpreted as a desire to connect with someone on a deeper level, but also hints at a sense of danger and unpredictability surrounding the singer. The chorus repeats the theme of "just killing time" and "kissing that world goodbye," suggesting a sense of futility and nihilism in the singer's outlook.
The second verse introduces a sense of spirituality and mysticism, with references to the Belt of Orion and the Son of the Sun God. The singer presents themselves as a conqueror and a king, but also acknowledges their status as the black sheep of the family and the target of enemies who seek to bring them down. The line "look me in the eyes baby, ride with me" could again be interpreted as a desire for deeper connection, but also hints at a sense of danger and risk-taking. Overall, the song paints a picture of a person who is caught between a desire for connection and a sense of reckless abandon, and who sees life as a series of fleeting moments to be lived without attachment or commitment.

Baby, I am a survivor
I've been through a lot of tough situations and come out the other side
Baby, I'm on fire
I'm full of passion and energy in everything I do
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
I'm about to get intimate with you in a deep, significant way
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
I'm indulging in substances to alter my state of mind
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm angry at the police and don't respect their authority
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm not responsible when it comes to finances or deadlines
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
I'm unmotivated and engage in meaningless activities
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
I have aspirations for a better future
Looking for that quick fix, and tweeking all night
I'm in search of a quick and easy solution to my problems
Just killing time
I'm passing time without any real purpose or direction
Kiss that world goodbye
I'm ready to leave this world behind and move on
Its all over now
There's nothing left for me here
Nothing is over now
I still have unfinished business
God knows I tried
I've made an effort, but it hasn't worked out
But no one understands me
I feel misunderstood and alone
The black sheep of the family
I don't fit in with my family or community
My enemies - they try to over take me
I have people who are against me and trying to bring me down
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
I'll fight until the system breaks me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
Trust me and join me on this journey
I can take it there, ride with me
I'm capable of leading us to where we need to go
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I understand your desires and needs
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
I can make your dreams a reality and support you through tough times
I keep my eyes on the stars
I have lofty goals and aspirations
That's where I come from
My heritage and background define who I am
Belt of Orion
I have an affinity for astronomy and the stars
Son of the Sun God
I believe in a higher power and my connection to it
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
I'm a person with a strong sense of identity and purpose
The Lion
I have strength and courage like a lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
I have a regal and commanding presence
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
I'm ready for whatever comes my way, no matter how difficult or complex it may be
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
I've been through addiction recovery and know the struggles involved
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
The justice system is flawed and doesn't always work in favor of the accused
Sex and violence sells
Society tends to glamorize and profit from negative behaviors and experiences
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
There are many unsolved crimes and tragedies in the world
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting
Life can be unpredictable and full of challenges, some of which may be fatal
Butterfly
A symbol of transformation, freedom, and beauty
