I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
You've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/muse/time_is_running_out.html ]
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh
Yeah You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh
*edit;
ah! The other day i was listening to stockholm syndrome and by god, matt can play that guitar better than anyone i've ever heard before. I mean, i had to like put myself into the song to figure out of it was a piano or a guitar! Ah.. I will never get tired of the rock gods named muse.
I agree with what a lot of people said already; that this song is about how one person just cab't stay away from the other. That's why i think this song fits perfectly with the first twilight book. (sorry for bringing twilight in, i just think it fits perfectly)
I agree with tazy. This is about someone who just cant stay away from a certain person, even though they know that it's not necessarily the best thing for them, but they just cant bear to let go, and they realize that their time with them is running out. I love this song, it is so amazing. Love muse!!!
You can also say that it's a typical song for a relationship coming to an end.. That's what i firstly thought of at the moment, zhough nevertheless it's also a song (/like it's been already said ^^) about screaming out your opinion no matter how many people try to stop you^^
This is an amazing song, from an amazing album, by an amazing band. I interpret this song to be about peoples' points of view on life and everything. The 'i won't let you bury it' parts i think to be people trying to silence the opinions of the masses
just my ponderings though
I saw you dancing and i couldn't get you off my mind
(i could tell that you could tell that i was takin' my time)
i was thinking of ways that you would stay and be mine
(your body's shaking, turn me on, so i can turn off the lights)
