Gunslinger (Running Out of Time) Lyrics
Turn the key to the night, see it pulling outta here.
See if the stars know where you go.
Follow the dark across, there's a purpose for you there.
Follow the first impression home.
Reckless and cold, never been sold on someone to call your own.
Reckless and cold. It's the first time you've had it all.
And now you're running out of time,
Running out of time to draw the line.
You heard the world was moving on,
World was moving on with you a step behind.
And now you're running out of time, Running out of time.
Your life flashes before your eyes.
Demons are at your door.
Phantoms inching ever close.
Evil is starved for innocence.
So far from typical to need a friend.
You better hold on to that younger heart.
It's the first time you've had it all, so now you dance to the
Beat of the breakdown. Your life flashes before my eyes.
Running out of time, running out of time.
Running out of time, running out of time.
See if the stars know where you go.
Follow the dark across, there's a purpose for you there.
Follow the first impression home.
Reckless and cold. It's the first time you've had it all.
Running out of time to draw the line.
You heard the world was moving on,
World was moving on with you a step behind.
And now you're running out of time, Running out of time.
Your life flashes before your eyes.
Phantoms inching ever close.
Evil is starved for innocence.
So far from typical to need a friend.
You better hold on to that younger heart.
Beat of the breakdown. Your life flashes before my eyes.
Running out of time, running out of time.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
When you forgot that your life was happening and everything justhits you at once. Like the lyrics say, you are running out of time. You feel left behind and forgot to enjoy the little moments in life and anything positive has just disappeared. And now you are either too old or something to do all the things you wanted to with your life. Simple as that...
Sounds almost like a Christian song when ya put it that way, but, I pretty much agree...nice song, they used this for Bionicle.
To me it sounds like, in more than one place, its making a reference back to a Stephen King epic series of storys intitled The Dark Tower. I could be wrong but the thing that pushes me farthest to believe this is:
"You heard the world was moving on, World was moving on with you a step behind"
this is a strong reference in the books and you would have to read them to understand fully this could also be interpreted as a part of the books:
"Demons are at your door. Phantoms inching ever close."
