Time Of Dying

On the ground I lay Motionless in pain I can see my life flashing before my eyes Did I fall asleep? Is this all a dream? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

He just tried to kill himself, and is lying there unbelieving of what he did. He questions wether it is a dream because he doesn't believe what he did.

I will not die (I will not die) I will survive

He has decided that he made a mistake and will survive.

I will not die, I'll wait here for you I feel alive, when you're beside me I will not die, I'll wait here for you In my time of dying

When "you" is with him, he feels better about himself and has more will to live. He says he will live for "you."

On this bed I lay Losing everything I can see my life passing me by Was it all too much? Or just not enough? Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

Now he is in the hospital, and is losing everyone's trust in him because of what he did. He is also wondering wether life was too much for him to handle, or not enough to keep him strong. He wants someone to rescue him from what happened.

I'm pretty sure this song is about allowing yourself to think that death is the answer in the most worst situations that seem like they can never be fixed. although, the lyrics are clearly directed towards someone that truly cares about the victim and loves them. this song could refer to one person actually making a difference in the victims life. that the person gives the victim a reason to push on and keep living. the victim feels like he's dying but when he's with the person who cares and loves them they feel alive and no they cant die as long as that person stays with them. reminds me of a friend that saved me from my own death. amazing song. played it 5987 on my ipod.

I compare this song to that story with the lady waiting for her husband to return to her. It's almost the same, but the man singing is waiting for somebody instead, and he is nearing death. But once that special person is with him, he can finally rest.

ah!!!!!!!!!! well this song is so special to me because one of my BFFS (and the guy i plan to marry) got into an accident with his horse(it bucked him off a 13' cliff and then fell down the cliff and landed on top of him) so i listened to it the entire time he was in the hospital because it made me think of how he might be feeling and what he was going through but i begged for a miricale and guess what??? a week after the accident, he got out and he was almost completely healed from a fractured pelvis, torn kidney, and a lot of other bad stuff!!

I think this song is kind of like someone who feels like the world is just a big nightmare and nothing is right 'till they meet someone who makes them see there might be some good in the world, something to live for, but thats just how I see it.

This song is about a guy whose death awaits him but made a vow to never leave until the girl comes to him. Life is changing for him because he is probably going to die of sickness or pain. He will not die until they are able to bound together and live life as the fullest before passing on to the next world.

This is one of Three Days Grace's greatest songs.

I agree what di...ted says about the song.

This is such an amazing song off an amazing album. I love every song on it, but Time of Dying is my favorite. I think it means that he's dying and waiting for someone to save him. When that person is with him, he feels alive. That person is his one reason to hold on to life.

its f-in kickass...i think its about a guy who wants to get out of this nightmare(his life) because hes dying inside but the person who he loves and cares about and makes him feel good hes waiting for because when hes with them he feels better

I agree with di...ted
