Time Machine
Tourette Roulette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it feels like I am stuck in a daydream
Or so it seems
In these messed up times I just want you to take me
In your time machine

(I've been living a lie)

You've been chasing me
Running through the night
(I've been living a lie)
You've mistaken me
Please don't start a fight
(I've been living a lie)
'Cause you don't know me
And why should you even care?
(I've been living a lie)
I'm so damn reckless
And I can't compare
To you...

And it feels like I'm stuck in a daydream
Or so it seems
In these messed up times I just want you to take me
In your time machine

I'm disappointed
No matter how hard I try
(I've been living a lie)
We're going backwards
Every single time
(I've been living a lie)
Cause you don't trust me
And you never will
(I don't know where I'm going
And the pressure keeps growing)
Don't be sentimental
Just go for the kill
(Sentimental dysfunction
Heading for the destruction)

I don't know where I'm going
And the pressure keeps growing
I don't know where I'm going

And it feels like I'm stuck in a daydream
Or so it seems
In these messed up times I just want you to take me
In your time machine

I don't know where I'm going
And the pressure keeps growing





Sentimental dysfunction
Heading for the destruction

Overall Meaning

The song "Time Machine" by Tourette Roulette is a melancholic ode to the desire to escape from the present and go back in time to better days. The verses talk about the singer's feeling of being "stuck in a daydream," a state of mind that is not fully present in reality, and the search for a way to escape from it. The singer longs to be taken away from these "messed up times" by someone or something that can provide a way out of this distorted reality.


The chorus features the repetition of the message that the singer wants to be transported in a time machine. The repetition conveys the urgency of this desire to escape and the dreamlike state of the singer's mind. The lyrics in the verses suggest that there is some kind of conflict between the singer and someone else, possibly a partner. The lines "You've been chasing me / Running through the night" and "Please don't start a fight" suggest that there are tensions and misunderstandings between the two. The lyrics "Cause you don't trust me / And you never will" reinforce the idea that the relationship is not a healthy one.


The song's closing lines "Sentimental dysfunction / Heading for the destruction" suggests that the situation is not going to end well. The singer is acutely aware that they are not living in reality and that they are in a precarious state. Despite their yearning to go back in time, it is clear that they also understand that this is not a real solution to their problems.



Line by Line Meaning

And it feels like I am stuck in a daydream
Everything seems surreal and I am unable to move forward from this point


Or so it seems
Perhaps it is just an illusion that is stopping me from achieving my dreams


In these messed up times I just want you to take me
I am lost in this chaotic world and want someone to guide me


In your time machine
I wish to escape this reality and explore the unknown


You've been chasing me
You have been pursuing me in such an aggressive manner


Running through the night
Chasing me relentlessly, even in darkness


'Cause you don't know me
You don't understand me as a person


And why should you even care?
You have no reason to care about me and my struggles


I'm so damn reckless
I have a tendency to act carelessly without thinking of the consequences


And I can't compare
I cannot match up to your standards or achievements


I'm disappointed
I am unhappy with my current situation


No matter how hard I try
I am putting in a lot of effort without any positive results


We're going backwards
Our relationship is deteriorating instead of progressing forward


Every single time
This happens continuously, without fail


Cause you don't trust me
Mutual trust is lacking in our relationship


And you never will
You have no faith in me whatsoever


I don't know where I'm going
I am unsure of my future


And the pressure keeps growing
The stress and anxiety is increasing with every passing day


Don't be sentimental
Don't be overly emotional in your decision-making process


Just go for the kill
Act decisively and without hesitation to achieve your goal


Sentimental dysfunction
Being too emotional is hindering progress


Heading for the destruction
If we don't change our ways, the situation will only get worse
