Back In Time
The Living Tombstone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got no time to live
I got no time to live, and I can't say goodbye
And I'm regretting having memories
Of my friends who they used to be
Beside me before they left me to die.
and I know this is
Cause I've been staring at my death so many times
These scary monsters roaming in the halls
I wish I could just block the doors
and stay in bed until the clock will chime
So my flashlight's on, and stay up 'till dawn
I got this headache and my life's on the line
I felt like I won, but I wasn't done
The nightmare repeats itself every time
Got to keep my calm, and carry on
stay awake until the sun will shine
But I'm not so strong, and they're not gone
They're still out there to take what's left of mine
I have this urge
I have this urge to kill
I have this urge to kill and show that I'm alive
I'm getting sick from these apologies
From people with priorities
That their life matters so much more than mine
But I'm stuttering
I'm stuttering again
No one will listen and no one will understand
Because I'm crying as much as I speak
Cause no one likes me when I shriek
want to go back to when it all began
So my flashlight's on, and stay up 'till dawn
I got this headache and my life's on the line
I felt like I won, but I wasn't done
The nightmare repeats itself every time
Got to keep my calm, and carry on
stay awake until the sun will shine
But I'm not so strong, and they're not gone
They're still out there to take what's left of mine.
The Living Tombstone's song "Back in Time" is a hauntingly powerful song about the struggles of someone who has no time left to live, but is not ready to say goodbye to the world. The lyrics evoke a sense of desperation, with the singer regretting the memories of their friends who have already left them to die. The reference to scary monsters roaming in the halls suggests that the singer is trapped in some kind of nightmare or horror scenario, which they cannot escape from. The repeated refrain of "Got to keep my calm, and carry on" suggests that the singer is trying to stay strong in the face of their fears, but is finding it increasingly difficult to do so.
The second verse of the song introduces a more disturbing theme - the singer has an urge to kill, which they feel will somehow prove that they are still alive. This is a particularly chilling thought, as it suggests that the singer has become so disconnected from the world around them that they feel compelled to engage in violence in order to validate their existence. The final lines of the song are particularly poignant, as they suggest that the singer just wants to go back to a time before all of this began - to a time when they were happy and surrounded by friends.
Overall, "Back in Time" is a powerful song that explores themes of alienation, desperation, and disconnection from society. The haunting melody and powerful lyrics make this a standout track in The Living Tombstone's discography.

I got no time
I am always busy and have no time for anything else
I got no time to live
I am occupied with something or the other, and can't enjoy life
I got no time to live, and I can't say goodbye
I am so engaged with my work that I can't even say goodbye to the people leaving my life
And I'm regretting having memories
I feel sad reminiscing the past memories of my friends who are not with me anymore
Of my friends who they used to be
The way my old friends used to behave, seem like a distant past now
Beside me before they left me to die.
My friends left me alone when I needed them the most
and I know this is
I am positive this is the truth
I know this is the truth
I am sure of the situation I am in
Cause I've been staring at my death so many times
I have encountered several close-death experiences
These scary monsters roaming in the halls
I am haunted by scary and creepy monsters lurking around me
I wish I could just block the doors
I desperately want to barricade and close off the entrance points from which monsters enter
and stay in bed until the clock will chime
I want to escape from reality and sleep until the clock makes a noise
So my flashlight's on, and stay up 'till dawn
I keep my flashlight on and try to stay awake until the sunlight reappears
I got this headache and my life's on the line
I am stressed and mentally drained, and my life is at risk every passing moment
I felt like I won, but I wasn't done
I thought my troubles were over, but they keep repeating themselves
The nightmare repeats itself every time
The scary encounters with these monsters are becoming a common nightmare for me
Got to keep my calm, and carry on
I need to be composed and continue living in such a daunting situation
stay awake until the sun will shine
I have to stay awake until the dawn breaks and sunlight appears
But I'm not so strong, and they're not gone
I am not immensely strong to fight off the monsters, and they keep reappearing
They're still out there to take what's left of mine
Monsters are still present, sucking the life out of me
I have this urge
I sense an eager need to do something
I have this urge to kill
I have an impulse to put an end to something that has been causing me trouble
I have this urge to kill and show that I'm alive
I feel like I need to kill something to prove to myself that I am not scared anymore
I'm getting sick from these apologies
I am tired of people apologizing to me when they don't understand what I am going through
From people with priorities
People who only care about their lives and nothing else
That their life matters so much more than mine
These people feel their lives are more valuable than mine
But I'm stuttering
I am struggling to speak
I'm stuttering again
I am unable to speak properly due to fear and anxiety
No one will listen and no one will understand
Nobody is ready to listen or understand my situation
Cause I'm crying as much as I speak
I cry as much as I speak due to fear and panic
Cause no one likes me when I shriek
Nobody likes hearing me shout out of fear
want to go back to when it all began
I want to go back and rectify the mistake that led to this horrible situation

The older this song gets, the more wish I could travel back and forth in time to the good days

We all wish we could. You’re lucky you got to be there during its golden age, I only joined the fandom half a year after the show ended.
@ispecs
@@arklys7949 thats a big accusation because gen 4 had a big fandom and so much fanmade songs, stories, and so much, even video games! It will always hold a special place in our hearts but it doesn't mean that what you said is 100% wrong still

@@arklys7949 Yeah Gen 5 was NOT worth the Hype. They fucked up by going in a totally DIFFERENT direction than the Original G5 Concept Art. No idea whose dumb idea that was >.<

Even after all these years, it's a treat to go back to a grossly underrated song and still enjoy it as much as the first time. 2023 a few weeks away.
@LocalTorchwoodIntern
For real its a shame it's on Spotify. I remember when it first came out and I only knew Doctor Who thanks to Hooves and mlp and now here I am. David coming back got me in the fandom
@cleam3350
