Killing Time
Soul Sanctuary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's out sight, is it out of mind?
You feel like me, you're all fucking diseased.
When I'm out of sight, I'm out of my mind
Use this dogmatic blasphemy to rape your soul until it bleeds.
These voices in my head aren't mine screaming out it's killing time!
We're all just killing time, it's killing time.
All these feelings you'll never know in our hearts we must let go.
We're all just killing time, it's killing time.
You're just like me, we're all fucking diseased.
When we're out of sight, we're out of our minds!
Use this dogmatic blasphemy to rape your soul until it bleeds.
These voices in my head aren't mine screaming out it's killing time!
All these feelings you'll never know in our hearts we must let go.
We're just killing time, it's killing time.
All these feelings you'll never know in our hearts we must let go.
We're all just killing time, we're just killing time.
The lyrics of "Killing Time" by Soul Sanctuary depict the feeling of being marginalized and disregarded by society. The opening lines express the frustration of being treated as if one suffers from a contagious condition. The theme continues as the lines suggest that the individual is only noticed when they enter into the field of vision of others. When out of sight, they are out of mind, and by extension, out of their right mind. The dissonance between how the individual sees themselves and how they are perceived by others is an underlying theme that runs through the song.
The lyrics further dive into the idea of using dogmatic blasphemy to confront and overpower this sense of marginalization. The use of the phrase "rape your soul until it bleeds" reveals the extent of the individual's desperation to get their voices heard. The voices in their head are not only causing inner turmoil, but they are screaming out for attention; for the individual, it is now "killing time." The lyrics in the chorus reinforce the theme of despair and resignation; it is as if the singer has accepted that they will never be seen, making these feelings of despair an everyday experience.
