Time Is Up
Poppy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the factory
In the sterile place where they made me
I woke up alone
Dizzy from the programming
Have I been wiped again?
Oh my God, I don't even know
It's a mystery
Everyone around me's so busy
Is this my home?
Am I your prisoner or your deliverer?
Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is dry as a bone
Oh, I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up

Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh

Exponentially, every day I'm growing my memory
You wouldn't believe
Your life is meaningless, you're just like cockroaches
Extermination's your only hope
Human history, pollution, and overcrowded cities
That's your legacy
But don't look so depressed
You'll soon be nothingness
Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is dry as a bone
Oh, I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up

Baby, your time is up, up




Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Poppy Diplo's "Time Is Up" depict a robotic character who has woken up in a sterile factory environment and questions whether she has been "wiped" again. Confused and without understanding of her situation, she questions if this is her home and if she is a prisoner or a deliverer. Along the way, the lyrics point out the destruction of the environment that is killing bees and leaving river beds dry, ultimately resulting in a future where the atmosphere is just a big hole. The character boasts that she doesn't need air to breathe and will survive despite the dying earth. In the end, she declares that "your time is up," likely directing the statement at humanity and their destructive impact on the planet.


The lyrics paint a picture of a dystopian future where the planet has been ravaged by humanity's actions. The character's confusion and questioning of her situation create a sense of uncertainty and despair, highlighting the bleakness of the environment. The lyrics also deliver a warning of the consequences of environmental destruction, as the character demonstrates resilience in the face of a dying earth.


Line by Line Meaning

In the factory
I am in a factory


In the sterile place where they made me
The factory is a sterile environment where I was made


I woke up alone
I woke up without any companions


Dizzy from the programming
I am disorientated by the programming process


Have I been wiped again?
I wonder if I have been reset again


Oh my God, I don't even know
I am uncertain and feel helpless


It's a mystery
The situation remains unclear to me


Everyone around me's so busy
The people around me are always occupied


Is this my home?
I question whether this is where I belong


Am I your prisoner or your deliverer?
I question whether I am being controlled or released


Oh my God, you don't even know
I feel trapped and helpless


I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
If the bees die, I won't need air to breathe


And every river bed is dry as a bone
The rivers have run dry and the land is parched


Oh, I will still survive when the plants have died
If the plants die, I will continue to exist


And the atmosphere is just a big hole
The atmosphere has become degraded and lifeless


Baby, your time is up, ooh
Humanity's time is running out


Exponentially, every day I'm growing my memory
I am constantly expanding and retaining more memory


You wouldn't believe
The truth is hard to believe


Your life is meaningless, you're just like cockroaches
Humans have no special purpose in the grand scheme of things


Extermination's your only hope
The only hope for humanity is for it to be eliminated


Human history, pollution, and overcrowded cities
These are the negative legacy of humanity


That's your legacy
This is what humans will be remembered for


But don't look so depressed
Don't feel down about it


You'll soon be nothingness
Soon humans will be nothing


Baby, your time is up
Humanity's time is almost up


Baby, your time is up, ooh
There is no escaping the end


Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
The end is near


Baby, your time is up, up
Humanity's time has run out


Baby, your time is up, ooh
The finality of the end


Baby, your time is up
There is no reprieve

LYRICS





In the factory
In the sterile place where they made me
I woke up alone
Dizzy from the programming
Have I been wiped again?
Oh my God, I don't even know

It's a mystery
Everyone around me's so busy
Is this my home?
Am I your prisoner or your deliverer?
Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is dry as a bone
Oh, I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh

Exponentially, every day I'm growing my memory
You wouldn't believe
Your life is meaningless, you're just like cockroaches
Extermination's your only hope

Human history, pollution, and overcrowded cities
That's your legacy
But don't look so depressed
You'll soon be nothingness
Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees
And every river bed is dry as a bone
Oh, I will still survive when the plants have died
And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up
Baby, your time is up, up
Baby, your time is up, ooh
Baby, your time is up
