Tapping the Vein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until now
You're leading me in further through the woods
And it never felt so wrong until now
I'd love to believe you
I just want back the old you again
You're leaving me
For a moment among the wolves
And I never felt so small until, until now
I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again
All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time
All I, all I have is time
And all I, all I have is time
I'd love to believe you
But I'm starting to see through
I just want back the old you again
You're all I have left here
All I have left
I am begging now
I am begging now
I am begging now
The lyrics to Tapping the Vein's song Time give the sense of a lover being left alone and vulnerable. The use of the metaphor of being in the woods among the wolves portrays a sense of danger and uncertainty. The singer feels small and wronged by their partner's leaving. The repetition of the line "I'd love to believe you/But I'm starting to see through" indicates a loss of trust and a realization that their partner may not be as genuine as they once thought. They long for the return of their old partner, who they may have felt safer and more secure with.
The lines "All I, all I have is time/And all I, all I have is time" can be interpreted in many ways. It could represent the singer feeling trapped in their situation and having to wait for their partner's return. Or it could symbolize that time is all they have left with their partner and they want to make the most of it.
The last few lines of the song give the impression of desperation - "You're all I have left here/All I have left/I am begging now/I am begging now/I am begging now". The singer is pleading for their partner to come back to them, indicating that they are emotionally invested in the relationship and don't want to lose it.
Overall, the lyrics to Time convey a sense of vulnerability, loss, and desperation. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their partner leaving and trying to hold onto what they had before.

You're leaving me
You are abandoning me
For a moment among the wolves
Leaving me in a dangerous situation, like being surrounded by wolves
And I never felt so small until now
I am feeling insignificant and powerless now that you are gone
You're leading me in further through the woods
You're taking me deeper into a perilous forest
And it never felt so wrong until now
I have a sense of foreboding, like this path is not leading to something good
I'd love to believe you
I want to trust you
But I'm starting to see through
But I am beginning to realize that you are not being honest
I just want back the old you again
I want you to return to the way you used to be
All I, all I have is time
The only thing I have is time, which is passing slowly
You're all I have left here
You are the only thing I have left in this place
All I have left
There is nothing else left for me except you
I am begging now
I am desperately pleading with you now
I am begging now
My pleas are becoming more urgent
I am begging now
I am imploring you to come back

Awesome song! Listening to their music-being new to it- this band is pretty kickass! They really should have been a lot bigger then they were. But I still love these songs! Heather Thompson is an amazing singer with a lot of emotion!
