Out Of Time Man Lyrics

Cover art for Out Of Time Man lyrics by Mano Negra

It's probably just about missing a date, but as depression has turned me into a sad egocentric pile of misery, to me it's about someone who has lived a great deal of his life without any sense of direction. As the years pass, he starts getting more and more uncomfortable with the emptiness he's experiencing and seeks for something to hold onto (sex, drugs, whatever) to make him feel good... Ultimately, he finds that this does not kill the emptiness but he realizes it's too late to make a change. He's too depressed and empty to gather up the (emotional) strength to make a choice and actually lives in the past while the world around him has moved on.

A timing tragedy.

My Interpretation

Agree. Same here. It's about somebody who runs out of time, it's too late for him, "Long gone the rendezvous" Long gone the chances. He tries to run, but he can never catch up with the time.

@Phlogistonist hope you're doing better now SzChris88
