Time Is Running Out
The Nomad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
I woke up like like im hitting a lick today
I woke up like im fucking your bitch today
It's not my fault she wanna swallow my kids okay
If he still talking ima empty my clip today
She gave me brain like she came out of Harvard
And these Perkins working magic im not talkin Harry Potter
So many bad memories don't know where to start
Can't trust a bitch with all your heart or they gon' rip it apart
I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
They say it's dangerous, dangerous
Please don't come and play with this, not my heart it's breaking
I'm feeling so anxious, don't know what to do
And every moment that I lose I make it up to you
But now you're gone, and I'm alone
Felt so sudden cuz you blocked me right up on the phone
But now I know that you was never there
I knew you never cared
You only wanted me for fame cuz all they did was stare
Look at all the things that I can do without you
They say I'm running out of time so I'll hit continue
Life ain't a game so we play with no rules
So I'll play right along I'll use you like a tool
But you know I got it, I feel like I'm bold but I'm honest
Every single lyric a sonnet, my memory's rotted
Now you texting me back but I can't remember you talking
I feel like I'm Sonic, I just chase the rings while shawty keep blowin my pocket
Take off like a rocket, soon you'll see me on the stars like my boy prophet.
I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
I've been running out of time
I can't get you out my mind
They say its dangerous so I gotta keep a nine
Are you okay baby don't worry im fine
Don't you worry I'm fine




I been running out of time
Tell em Its Nomad No Home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Nomad's song "Time Is Running Out" reflect a sense of urgency and pressure. The singer is feeling the weight of time passing by, and a relentless thought of someone, potentially a love interest, is consuming their mind. The lyric "I've been running out of time, I can't get you out my mind" implies that they are running out of time to make their feelings known or to pursue a relationship. They mention keeping a nine, referring to a firearm, which suggests that they feel the need to be cautious and protect themselves in this dangerous situation.


The second verse delves into a more aggressive tone, where the singer speaks about waking up with a newfound confidence and a desire to assert dominance. They mention being involved with someone else's partner and highlight the partner's willingness to engage in infidelity. The lyric "She gave me brain like she came out of Harvard" is a metaphorical reference to receiving exceptional oral sex. The mention of bad memories and the inability to trust a lover fully indicates past betrayals and emotional scars.


As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the dangerous and uncertain nature of their situation. The repetition of "I can't get you out my mind, they say it's dangerous so I gotta keep a nine" emphasizes the internal struggle they face. They are unsure if it is wise to pursue this love interest due to the potential harm it may bring. The line "Please don't come and play with this, not my heart it's breaking" shows their vulnerability and fear of being hurt.


In the final verse, the singer reflects on the loss of the person they were pursuing. They express feeling sudden abandonment, as the person blocked them on their phone. They realize that this person never truly cared for them and only sought fame through their connection. The lyrics also suggest a sense of empowerment, as they state they can function without this person and continue to pursue their goals. They acknowledge the passage of time but hold onto the hope of future success and moving forward.
