Running Out of Time
Southbase Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's get frustrated . . . Get frustrated . . . Get frustrated,
Now give it up!
Full stop forever
Let's get this started . . . Get this started . . . Get this started,
Started right!
To set this mourning free

And I see the new beginning in black and white
But the starting line seems so far back tonight.

Cause I'm Running Out Of Time
And I'm falling out of line
I need to step aside to see the courage that you gave to me
But I'm Running Out Of Time

You're so overrated . . . overrated . . . overrated,
Now give it up!
I stand affront to you.
So let's get this started . . . get this started . . . get this started
And just let it out!
To step into the light

It's in my head, It's in my head.




You're in my head, you're in my head.
You break me inhibate me now

@ferrarist9974

which group in orignale sings this song ?

@SpeechDude

This is our original song (Southbase). Rich Zahniser (from The Hippos) wrote the song.

@fivestatedrive

Aside from the two playable songs on the old Southbase myspace page, does the music you recorded live online anywhere or was there ever an official release?

@philtheguy6991

I can't find anything from them anymore. But I have 3 EPs from them. A 5 song EP and two 3-song samplers.

@fivestatedrive

Any possibility of posting these?

@outononoite

@@SpeechDude Hey man, I found an old demo CD from 2001 - 2003 labeled Southbase. It definitely sounds like Rich singing, but very different songwriting than the SouthbaseMusic.com EP. Any idea what it is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDZAVvqlh4w
