Out of time
The Relay Company Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

1:
Fighting every system just to prove to know you're living
Do you taste or is it never enough?
And you're taking all your time to find a moment, is it fading?
Are you burning? Has your "cool" turned into to rust?

Pre Then you're taken by the rhythm ready shake shake, spinning around.
The world is moving as you wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh you missed the bus again

Oh, oh, whoa, oh oh, you're out of time. 2:
Twenty something years and are you breaking only even?
Feeling older than the age that you are?
Would you take some time to listen, let the moments that you're missing
Grab a hold and try to finally start.

Pre Then you're taken by the rhythm ready shake shake, spinning around

The world is moving as you wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh you missed the bus again
Oh, oh, whoa, oh oh, you're out of time.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Relay Company's song Out of Time convey a sense of frustration and urgency towards life. The opening lines "Fighting every system just to prove to know you're living" suggest a desire to rebel against the established norms and make one's own path. The lyrics further question whether living in the present moment is truly satisfying or not. The line "Do you taste or is it never enough?" implies that there might be an underlying emptiness that one is trying to fill by constantly trying to prove oneself.

The chorus of the song, "Then you're taken by the rhythm ready shake shake, spinning around. The world is moving as you wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh you missed the bus again, Oh, oh, whoa, oh oh, you're out of time," highlights the importance of not wasting time and being swept away by the constantly moving world. The lyrics make a poignant observation about how easily we can miss important opportunities and moments in life by not paying attention, and ending up feeling "out of time". The second verse of the song emphasizes the need to slow down and listen to oneself to prevent feeling older than one's age and start living life fully.

Overall, the lyrics to Out of Time suggest an urgency to take control of one's life, slow down, and not let important moments pass by.

Line by Line Meaning

Fighting every system just to prove to know you're living
Are you constantly rebelling against everything just to feel alive?

Do you taste or is it never enough?
Do you savor the moments in life or do you always crave more?

And you're taking all your time to find a moment, is it fading?
Are you spending too much time searching for the perfect moment, only to watch it slip away?

Are you burning? Has your "cool" turned into to rust?
Are you feeling burnt out and losing touch with your once-hip self?

Twenty something years and are you breaking only even?
At your age, are you just barely keeping up with the pace of life?

Feeling older than the age that you are?
Do you feel like you've aged beyond your years?

Would you take some time to listen, let the moments that you're missing
Maybe it's time to slow down and appreciate the little things you've been overlooking

Grab a hold and try to finally start.
Take control and begin to live the life you've been missing out on

Oh, oh, oh, oh you missed the bus again
The world is constantly moving forward, and if you don't keep up, you'll miss out on opportunities

Oh, oh, whoa, oh oh, you're out of time.
Time is running out, so make the most of it while you can
