The 5 Track offering premiered on the front page of Jermaine Dupri's Global14, and began spreading across the internet like a Kanye West rumour. Within hours of it's release, "Don't Go" was seen across some of the world's most influential music blogs like Hypetrak, The Singers Room, The 405 and more. The 17-Minute offering showcases Vanessa's unique ear for melodies, set to the haunting noir-esque production of GXVXNS and CVIRO.
OUT OF TIME
Vanessa Elisha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wouldn't have to wait just to hold you
Not being on my own
I wish I could fly like a bird,
Give you everything you deserve
I know that I'm missing you when I turn around
And you're gone
I feel your touch, I am in beats
Is this what is like to believe in?
Come closer, the clock is still ticking
And we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
Yeah, we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
I'd be out on a stage,
You're on a different page
It's hard to be with you now
When I loved it right out here
I wish I could fly like a bird,
See you from across the world
I'm scared to let go right now
‘Cause I'll turn around and you're gone
I feel your touch and it lingers
I feel your touch, I am in beats
Is this what is like to believe in?
Come closer, the clock is still ticking
And we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
Yeah, we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
And we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
Yeah, we're running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
We're sure running Out Of Time
We're running Out Of Time
In the song "Out Of Time" by Vanessa Elisha, the singer expresses her fear of losing the person she loves. She wishes she could have all the time in the world to stay with this person, who she believes would never leave her. She longs to have the ability to fly like a bird so that she could be with her loved one no matter where they are. However, she realizes that time is not on her side, and she's afraid that if she lets go, the person she loves will disappear. The line "Come closer, the clock is still ticking" is a plea for her loved one to stay with her and not let time slip away.
The chorus of the song, "And we're running Out Of Time, We're sure running Out Of Time," emphasizes the urgency of the situation - the fear that time is running out for their relationship. Vanessa Elisha's powerful vocals and emotive delivery capture the desperation of the situation, and the repeating chorus underscores the theme of the song.
Overall, "Out Of Time" explores the universal human experience of fearing loss and trying to hold onto something or someone dear to us, but realizing that time is fleeting and we cannot control it.
