Time Out From The World Lyrics

Breathing in your sip of gold
I follow all your little lines
I like to watch a thousand times
I want to feel you here
I like to watch a thousand times
I make a shrine for you
Time out from the world
Leaving it all
Just for a day
You like there's a dawn
Hold me and round
Take us a day?
Here I go I'm going back
On every word you ever said
I'm dreaming of another time
Yesterday my alibi
We changed the world just you and I
I make a shrine for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Beautiful song

I love the atmosphere created by the song. Really is 'supernatural' like in your in a world of spirit or something. Except you don't have to die first to get there!

I really love this song. The remix is great also but this version is just glamorous.

I think it's about someone missing a person, who has passed on. Talking about making a shrine to them, is like that they haven't gotten over their death yet.

I could see it being about missing a person also. I could also see the song being from a stalkers point of view or just a distant admirer.

Personally I always thought this song would make a great opening theme for a 007 film. It reminds of some of the great songs from the older opening sequences.

for sure the song is about missing someone, dead or otherwise, someone who was integral to your life, with this person gone, you feel separate from the world, all you can do is think/dream/fantasize about your time with this person now that they're gone.

Great song!

I agree with PmcG No.6, would make a great Bond song...reminds me of You Only Live Twice with the Orchestration.
