Muse – Time Is Running Out Lyrics 15 years ago
Muse is a smart band. A woman would be obvious. Too obvious for this band. And drugs would be way too elementary for these kinds of lyrics.

In my opinion, Time is Running Out, is a message to the "Man".

"I think I'm drowning.. I wanna break this spell you've created" - this could be referring to controversies that revolve around the government and how they control things like the media to "brainwash" citizens.


"You're something beautiful.. A contradiction.. I wanna play the game.. I want the friction"
- This could represent a melancholy sort of admiration. Something like a "beautiful lie". "wanting to play the game.. i want the friction" could be a sort of challenge towards the "Man".


I think it makes sense this way and I applaud the band for the beautiful, lyrical poetry. If you're interested to know my opinion about the other parts of the song, just reply me.
