Donnie Darko? What? Well, while something-something-something "time arrow" may be a match, it's not really about time travel. The demo version of this song has different lyrics that are decidedly less mysterious (and not as good). Look it up on YouTube or something, but originally the lyrics went differently.
Also, this may double as a lyric correction, as the one here has a typo or two.
Album version (taken directly from the vinyl fold):
"Overhead ether flow, moment colours run.
Time, so slow.
I've never seen the arrow of time fly
so, low.
And time flows on."
Demo version:
"When I'm not with you time seems to go
So slow
I don't need the bold flow of time, no (?)
Oh no.
And time flows on."
Yeah, the demo version's first line has a few too many syllables and feels a little crowded. This is more simple, about it sucking when his lady friend isn't around to spend time with him.
Maybe the demo version was about it sucking when his lady friend isn't around etc. And the album version more about just daydreaming about the flow of time, probably stoned.
