Cover art for Time lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

when i hear this song it reminds me of my past relationship with an abusive ex. i wanted out but couldnt leave because i was caught up and conflicted. i felt i had no choise but to stay. he was in my head all the time and i just wanted silence.

"Time here all but means nothing, just shadows that move cross the wall.

They keep me company but they dont ask of me, they dont say nothing at all.

I need just a little more silence, I need just a little more time."

thats how i felt all the time when it got really bad. but like any good artist you can take the meaning of the words and find comfort on how you perceive them :]
