The opening lines, "I saw the rain wash her away/T took me to the wire/The sun erasing her in waves/Set my heart on fire" suggest a metaphorical washing away of a loved one due to time slipping away, indicated by the phrase "running out of time." The singer's heart is set on fire by this realization that time is running out, and it seems that they are struggling to come to terms with it.
The following lines, "Replaced her eyes with dollar signs/I'm a fucking sty/With mine her wish is realigned/That's just who we are," suggest a shift in priorities and values.

The chorus ("Stay the same/I think we're better off this way/Play your game/I'd rather fight then fade away") seems to suggest a desire to maintain the status quo, even in the face of time running out. The line "I'd rather fight then fade away" suggests resilience and a refusal to give up. Overall, the lyrics to "Time Is Running Out" convey a sense of inner turmoil and a struggle to come to terms with the inevitability of time slipping away.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw the rain wash her away
I witnessed her leaving me and disappearing like raindrops washed away by the rain
Took me to the wire
It brought me to the edge, the limit of my emotions and sanity where I might snap
The sun erasing her in waves
The bright light is taking away her image gradually, like the waves of water crashing on the shore
Set my heart on fire
Her leaving made me feel intense emotions, like a fire burning within me
Now I know
She's running out of, running out of time
Off we go
I am aware that she has limited time left and we need to hurry up and leave
Stay the same
I think we're better off this way
Play your game
I'd rather fight then fade away
I prefer to stay true to myself and maintain my personality, even if it means being in conflict with others. I don't want to disappear or go unnoticed.
Replaced her eyes with dollar signs
I'm a fucking sty
With mine her wish is realigned
That's just who we are
We have become a society where people's worth is measured by their financial value. I have succumbed to this mindset as well, and it has realigned my priorities according to hers.
Now I know, she's running out, she's running out
But are we running out of time?
Are we running out of time?
I am aware of her limited time, but I am starting to question if we are also running out of time as a society and in life in general.
She's running out of, running out of time
Off we go
We need to leave now because she is running out of time.
Stay the same
I think we're better off this way
Play your game
I'd rather fight then fade away
I will remain true to my beliefs and values even if it means going against the norm. I would rather be in conflict and fight for what I believe in, rather than disappear without a fight.
