Description
TimeHow can you measure a moment in time when you can’t even siphon it out?
Why bother measuring hours and minutes and seconds?
Time would be so much more practical if we could add it whenever we like
What’s there to stop us from doing that? What’s in the way?
Time can’t be so indestructible
Time can’t just go on and on
Though day turns to night and night turns to day
I wonder if there’s one last dawn
Dawn comes, but no one ever asked for it
Why must the day begin when
Daytime brings the sorrow of the past one million years
And night lets us sleep through it all
How can you let time be measured in seconds and minutes and hours for you?
What can you hope then to gain?
Where can you run from the power and constance of time beating at your front door?
Ever moving forward
Never breaking pace
I wish time would just give us a break
Writing words upon a page—
Does it even make a footprint in the sands of time?
Walking in the river of an ever-moving perpetual force
Can you even break the current?
Can you swim against the current?
Spoken:
“Traveling back and forth through time isn’t possible!
What is this nonsense you speak of?”
“Just have a little faith—why the hell do you care?”
“I don’t want to see you make a fool of yourself…”
“Time’s just another dimension.”
“Time can never be changed.”
Even if you found a way to manipulate
Time, you’d be labeled as sick and deranged
I wish my eyes could perceive the dimensions of time
Maybe I’d have a better chance to understand it
I wish our lies weren’t just another barrier to break
Maybe we’d have a better chance to withstand it
I haven’t got the time
I haven’t got the time
I never had any time
I never had the time
There’s no more time!
There’s no more time!
There’s no more time!
There’s no more time!

Apparently, songs aren't allowed to be philosophical.

Y'know, what with songs like "Wish You Were Here," "Blowing in the Wind," and "Dust in the Wind."
...Maybe they should have a sub-category for "Philosophical Songs That Have to Do With Wind." Too specific?
