Time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
Time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you
Time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
Time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you
We are the only ones right now that are celebrating
And we are joining hands right now
We are the only ones right now that are suffocating
We are the dying ones right now
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
Kisses on the dance floor in my past
I need some comfort just like you
Beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you
Drowning in the flood of morning light
I'm only human just like you
Do you hear the city waking up?
I will survive and so will you
We are the ones
The only ones
We are the ones
The dying ones
We are the ones
The only ones
We are the ones
We are the only ones right now that are celebrating
We are the dying ones
We are the only ones right now that are dying
And we are joining hands
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
I run for cover just like you
Time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you
I try to be here just like you
Time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you
And we are joining hands right now
We are the only ones right now that are suffocating
We are the dying ones right now
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
I need some comfort just like you
Beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you
I'm only human just like you
Do you hear the city waking up?
I will survive and so will you
The only ones
We are the ones
The dying ones
We are the ones
The only ones
We are the ones
We are the dying ones
We are the only ones right now that are dying
And we are joining hands
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars
We rise and fall
As our ashes turns to dust
We'll shine like stars

Time will kill everyone eventually, but the world moves on. We are the ones who realize this, and dance the night away on the dancefloor, celebrating life in it's entirety. Amazing.
To me the first line seems to tell it all. 'time is like a bullet from behind'. Time will catch up with you, whether you want it or not. You will die eventually and you should live in the moment because you won't know when your time will come.. The song is cool, but when I 'analyzed' it now it seems more optimistic than it sounds.. dunno
It is a beautiful description of what time is and how we interpret it. I never fully appreciated this song until I read it here.
Nailed it Kitsune...This song means just that to me. There was this friend of mine, we would all go out to the industrial club. She had cystic fibrosis (sp), but she would dance her heart out. I know this song held that meaning for her. Sometimes we would all just gather in a circle in this song, drunk on the adrenaline, and enjoy our time on earth. Rest peacefully Lisa.
anyone got some comments on this song?
ofcource the main meaning is that time will catch up with you we can all read. but its the other things also sod in the lyrics that does the song we are the ones dying and we are the ones also celebrating it. we have to celebrate that we lives but we cant ignore that one day ineviteble we will all die, its not negative its positive as long as we arent dead we live and that is what we should celebrate
