Time Will Tell
Run From Cover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me when you find what you are looking for cause the light isn't on anymore*
And all that you saw, as an open door was a crack in the floor
Come to you lift your head it's all been done and said, the tears have been shed
And now it won't be long you'll sing that same old song but I'm already gone.

If this is it, it's hit and miss, who are you gunning for (Ohh oh oh)
And time will tell our story well, what are you running for
Now that it's sink or swim, I see the mess you're in, the storm that is growing. And you have chosen well when all your cries for help are lost in it's swell.

If this is it, it's hit and miss, who are you gunning for (Ohh oh oh)
And time will tell our story well, what are you running for





Oh, your running out of time, but it's chasing you now
Oh, just take a chance you'll see and you'll come back to me

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Time Will Tell" speaks about a person who is desperately searching for something but is unable to find it. The light has gone out and what they thought was an open door turned out to be a floor crack. The person is drowning in their own sorrow and their attempts to find what they were looking for have been fruitless. The singer urges the person to lift their head up and face the reality that it's all been said and done, the tears have been shed and it's time to move on. The person will sing that same old song, but the singer is already gone. The second verse is about the same person who is now in a mess and is drowning in a storm. The person chose to be there and all their cries for help are lost in it's swell.


The chorus is a rhetorical question asking who the person is gunning for if this is it, and it's hit and miss. The singer then says that time will tell their story well, asking the person what they are running for. The bridge is a plea to the person, telling them that they are running out of time, but time is now chasing them. The singer urges them to take a chance and come back to them.


Overall, the song seems to be about someone who is searching for something but is unable to find it. They are drowning in their own sorrow and need to face reality and move on. The chorus asks them who they are fighting for if things are hit and miss. The bridge is a plea to take a chance and come back to the singer.


Line by Line Meaning

Tell me when you find what you are looking for cause the light isn't on anymore
Let me know when you discover what you're seeking since hope has faded away


And all that you saw, as an open door was a crack in the floor
You thought opportunity was knocking, but it was merely a flaw in the plan


Come to you lift your head it's all been done and said, the tears have been shed
Wake up to reality, the situation is hopeless and the emotions exhausted


And now it won't be long you'll sing that same old song but I'm already gone.
Your routine won't change, but I'm long gone from this never-ending story


If this is it, it's hit and miss, who are you gunning for (Ohh oh oh)
This is a high-risk gamble, what's your motive?


And time will tell our story well, what are you running for
Only time can reveal the outcome of this tale, so what's the rush?


Now that it's sink or swim, I see the mess you're in, the storm that is growing.
Now that you have to make a decisive move, I see the trouble you're in and the danger looming


And you have chosen well when all your cries for help are lost in it's swell.
You made the right call when your desperate pleas went ignored and were swallowed up by the crisis


Oh, your running out of time, but it's chasing you now
You're fast running out of time, and the consequences are nipping at your heels


Oh, just take a chance you'll see and you'll come back to me
Take a leap of faith, and you'll realize you need to return to me

Time is running out, DEMIAN
the lyrics:

I think l'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You'r something beautiful
Contradiction l wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah, you will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't you murder it
'Cause our time is running out
'Cause our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it
Screaming out
โ™ช
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know l'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Yeah, you will beat the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
'Cause our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
โ™ช
My time is running out
My time is running out
My time is, my time is running out
Run, run

I think I'm drowning, asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell that you've created
Your something beautiful, a contradiction
I wanna play the game, I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah, you will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom, bound and restricted
I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped, sense of elation
You'd never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah, you will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
