No Time
S.A.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no time
Got no time
I've got no time to go fishing
Got no time to use my brand new boat
I've got no time to go camping anymore
I've got no time to use my big motor home
I've got no time to go hunting
Got no time to go ski-dooing anymore
I've got no time to watch my sixty-two inch screen (brand new)
'Cause I'm working long hours everyday
So someday I'll have time to play
But this bank loan never seems to end
I'm tapped into my line of credit again
I've got no time for a holiday
I've got no time to sit in the sun
I've got no time for relaxation anymore
I've got no time for any fun
'Cause I'm working long hours everyday
So someday I have time to play
But this bank loan never seems to end
I've tapped into my line of credit again
I've got no time for the son's ballgames
I've got no time to watch the girl's ballet
Got no time for the family anymore
I've got no time to watch time slip away
I've got no time (I've got no time)
I've got no time (I've got no time)
I've got no time to watch time slip away
Who's got the time
The lyrics of "No Time" by S.A.P depict the singer expressing their frustration and lament over their lack of free time due to their demanding work schedule and financial obligations. The repetition of the phrase "Got no time" emphasizes the overwhelming feeling of busyness and the inability to engage in leisure activities that the singer desires.
The lyrics mention various leisure activities such as fishing, camping, hunting, and skiing, as well as spending time with family and attending children's events like ballgames and ballet recitals. These activities represent a sense of escapism and relaxation that the singer longs for but cannot afford due to their work commitments. The possessions like a brand new boat, ATV, and motorhome serve as reminders of missed opportunities for enjoyment.
The lyrics also touch upon the strain of financial burden, with references to bank loans and tapping into lines of credit. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of working long hours to pay off debts, with the hope that someday they will have the time to enjoy life. The repeated mention of the never-ending bank loan underscores the feeling of being stuck in a perpetual cycle of responsibilities and obligations.
The chorus of the song highlights the regret and resignation felt by the singer as they acknowledge the passage of time slipping away without being able to fully participate in life's joys. The question posed at the end - "Who's got the time" - reflects a sense of shared struggle among individuals who find themselves caught up in the pressures of modern life, juggling work and personal responsibilities.Overall, "No Time" conveys a poignant message about the challenges of balancing work, financial obligations, and the pursuit of happiness, while reflecting on the preciousness of time and the importance of prioritizing moments of joy and connection amidst life's demands.
