We heard the rain on the window
Like a simple waste of time
We heard the sirens wailing
Like the world had lost its smile
We spend our days together
High and following everything
Oh, we knew it was over
When the summer turned to spring
And all the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
All the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
We heard the rain on the window
Like a simple waste of time
We heard the sirens wailing
I knew they'd come for you
We spend our days in heaven
Dying following everything
Oh, we knew it was over
When the needle didn't stick
And all the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
All the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean something?
Does it mean something?...
Like a simple waste of time
We heard the sirens wailing
Like the world had lost its smile
We spend our days together
High and following everything
Oh, we knew it was over
When the summer turned to spring
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
All the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
Like a simple waste of time
We heard the sirens wailing
I knew they'd come for you
We spend our days in heaven
Dying following everything
Oh, we knew it was over
When the needle didn't stick
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean nothing?
All the words we said
All the time we spent
Does it mean nothing?
Does it mean something?

This song is so beautiful, as is the whole album. As for the meaning, I get a sense of boredom and that the writer feels the world is dull.
mmmmmm....if you read the name backwards it would be FTLJ and according to the lyrics, it could be easily For The Love J ????????????????
well, no idea what the J could mean.
I think this song is about losing the one you love, those few seconds after that person just leaves, the things you think at that very moment.
JLTF - junkies love to fuck. its an acronym.
The song its about junkies in a shooting range, getting high and having sex. maybe the last lines are about a overdose with all the sirens and needles that dont stick things...
Good interpretation. Thanks!
Good interpretation. Thanks!
I personally guessed it ment 'Just Let Time Flow' until I got the chance to ask Moby(Richard M. Hall) what the meaning of the title was. Now I just find it even more mysterious. He replied he got the idea at a bar. I was so happy and shivering it was hard to focus on his words. This was the only question I got to ask him, other than "Can I ask you a question." I felt deeply saddened the next day after a sleepless night, I cried all day until the late afternoon knowing i would never again experience such a wonderful coincidence. I listened to his music everyday. He's the only artist I ever believed was a good humbly genius. My favorite artist alongside David Lynch. I guess great geniuses like Moby and David Lynch like being ambiguous and private. It is there right after all to have privacy. I should have known before asking. I believe Moby prefers his art to be perceived differently from person to person. Not to be factual on what it SHOULD represent. As each artist is expressing his own soul with his artwork, revealing everything as he ment it would be stripping him naked
@daisy10000 Did he say anything else besides getting the idea at a bar? I'm quite curious about his answer but if he left it at that... That's just kind of rude.

I lost my adored wife Lisa of 34 yrs 2 yrs ago and this song most definitly been a big part of my coming back from the edge of nowhere. I have titled jltf as Jeff & Lisa Tinnell Forever. It has helped me tremendously. Thank you Moby
Agreed, about sad loss...and such a beautiful song, could be universally liked if it got enough play.
