Muse is a smart band. A woman would be obvious. Too obvious for this band. And drugs would be way too elementary for these kinds of lyrics.
In my opinion, Time is Running Out, is a message to the "Man".
"I think I'm drowning.. I wanna break this spell you've created" - this could be referring to controversies that revolve around the government and how they control things like the media to "brainwash" citizens.
"You're something beautiful.. A contradiction.. I wanna play the game.. I want the friction"
This could represent a melancholy sort of admiration. Something like a "beautiful lie". "wanting to play the game.. i want the friction" could be a sort of challenge towards the "Man".
I think it makes sense this way and I applaud the band for the beautiful, lyrical poetry. If you're interested to know my opinion about the other parts of the song, just reply me.
@amused1 I also think the song is not for a woman or about drugs. It's for US just like Undisclosed Desires for example and these are my faves songs it's so strong and powerful and different and they are right! Our time is running out and we truly have to challenge ourselves
