The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.
Running Out of Time
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
The lyrics of "Running Out of Time" by Various Artists express the feeling of being trapped in a relationship with someone who is both beautiful and destructive, and the realization that they are addicted to their partner. The singer feels like they are drowning and asphyxiated, and they want to break free from the spell that their partner has created. However, even though they know that their partner will be the death of them, they cannot help but be addicted to them. The singer wants the freedom to break away, but feels bound and restricted by their addiction.
The song is a raw portrayal of the struggle of being addicted to someone who is both wonderful and dangerous. The contradictory nature of the partner is highlighted by the lyrics "You're something beautiful, a contradiction", which shows that the partner has both positive and negative qualities.
The refrain of "Our time is running out" is a powerful reminder that time is slipping away and that the singer needs to take action to break free from the destructive relationship. The repetition of the lines "I won't let you bury it, smother it, murder it" shows the singer's determination not to be consumed by their addiction.
Overall, "Running Out of Time" is a poignant and emotional song that expresses the complexities of addiction and destructive relationships.

We're out of time, the sun is going down
When I thought we were done for
My new friend gave us an encore
Let's reach the shore of this Miami town
Remember the size of the world before?

And now the horizon holds so much more
