Cover art for Time Is Running Out lyrics by Muse

I feel like the song is about being completely infatuated with another person. In the beginning the other person does not know that you are infatuated with them, and this kills you inside. Eventually they realize it, though, and they know they can use this knowledge of your feelings to their advantage and manipulate you however they see fit. This is why he is "trapped" "now that you know."
