Pink Floyd - Time Lyrics
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Pink Floyd Time Comments
LEMBRO DOS ANOS 80... SÓ MUSICA TOP!
слушая эту музыку, как то мысленно возвращаюсь в свою золотую юность т.е. в 70-е
года прошлого века, как бы не странно это звучало, слушаю и не могу остановиться, музыка прекрасна,
сейчас такого уже нет, возможно и не будет в ближайшие десятилетия, пик отличной музыки и великих
музыкантов с 50 годов до 90-х и пока, все замерло, так однодневки
If you hate this song .... you suck !!!!!!
What’s crazy is that every songs in this album doesn’t sound old at all
He regresado al paraíso.
Vai brasilllllll 2020
7.7 MIL people (perhaps Punk Rockers or/and Leftists) missed the starting gun.
This song is the exact reason why I started doing things to better myself
pipazo , bongazo , caño ... que mejor combinación con esta obra maestra
I Have Great Memories Of My Friends With This Album
Best Band Ever
If you don't have time for Time, then you don't deserve to be here.
Before you ignore this, think that noone made it to the top without starting from the bottom.
This is one of my favorite tracks ever, second favorite on the album. 2nd behind Us and them. For years i wanted to be a musician but fear always made me say "My time is too late, I missed my shot" At 26 I became feed up with the day to day, moved to rural japan and started putting out music. Before I came to japan, I went to brazil, and heard a random restaurant playing this,I knew that it was serendipity. And TIME to get moving!! I made a hiphop song that was inspired by this actually, but the song is called "Feel The Void", by Fat Jon.
Lets get moving everyone!!!!

This song is the perfect blend of Waters lyrics and Gilmour's emotive guitar playing...hard to believe people in their 20's could have created this masterpiece. People will still question their mortality listening to this in 100 years from now.
The cycle of life and time, never been expressed so well.
You missed the starting gun.
⏰⏳🕚⌛
2020 quem tá ouvindo esse som maravilhoso !
R.I.P Kobe Bryant 1978-2020 ;(((((
Thought I'd something more to say...home again...
How many times this song had made me cried...
This guitar solo is the reason people want to play the guitar
this song gives me anxiety
When I was 15 I remember hearing the line "10 years have got behind you", now it's 35 years later, in the blink of an eye...the same blink and I'll be 85...this song really makes you think about your own mortality.
SO YOU RUN AND YOU RUN 🔥🌈❤️🌾😭😭😭😭
Interestingly "run" seems to be Rogers favourite word, he uses it often in his lyrics.
One of the best lyrical songs of all time!
Time uma Música extraordinária 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The song is Supernatural for any generation for any historical period.
Gilmour poured a bit of his life force into that solo. It sings to very core of your being.

And remember to bring DSOTM with you!!!!!! Have a nice day.
Did anyone notice some physics stuff here or is it just I'm biased lol
What..?
We are all trapped on the conveyor belt of "TIME" It takes and it takes and it takes , until it's "TIME" to go Home !
omg 3:11 still the best guitar solo ever
3:53 That note.
Esta siempre será uno de los temas de Pink Floyd que más apreciaré muchísimo en mi vida, tiene un gran significado en mi vida. Gracias papá por mostrarme esta magnífica banda.
Did anyone ever think about the solo and what it represents? I think that the brilliant mind of Pink Floyd wanted to depict that 5 stages of Grief here.
At the start of solo you have low notes that come off really hard, sense of denying and neglecting the harsh truth comes to surface.
At 3:27, the first part of solo is repeated but he goes to higher notes, trying to depict anger, screaming.
At 3:41, he moves to even higher octave, and the first bend he makes on 17th fret of B string, could symbolize the start of bargaining. Almost a cry for help, why did it happend the way it happend, why didn't I try to do things differently?
At 3:54, depression starts, all those high bended notes, his mind screaming at him, he can't see the clear path infront of him, all of the emotions he holds are now mixed into a vortex that isn't going to stop anytime soon.
And suddently, at 4:09, vortex stops, he's accepted the certain, there is no way to change past and the past actions have led to certain future. He's not angry at himself anymore, he's not in denial, he's not bargaining, he's not even depressed, he just plain accepted the reality.
Also, notice how Nick Mason changes the pattern at the last part, when everything is becomes clear and calm, and how before that with every new part he kind of changes the pattern, the number of time he plays crash cymbal, or the difference of transition parts he plays on drums only.
I don't know, these are just my thoughts, I would like to see some comments here and discuss it with you people.
Whether we agree or not, it's certain and undeniable fact, that this masterpiece, at first serves as a teacher, but later on comes to haunt you when you realize the mistakes you've made and opportunities you have missed.
Have a nice day, my fellow Floydians.
Best regards.
You put way too much thought into this...
Damn I just recently discovered this song and I've had goosebumps every time I listen to it.
I remember partyin at the river blastin this
There is no better song about how quickly life goes by while we are waiting for it to happen. Wish I would have paid more attention to the lyrics when I was in my 20's, now I'm 49 and I don't know how I got here. I think I missed the starting gun....
Each 60-70s band has a unique flavor
this song has a start and end
Wish I could hear this for the first time forever
Every year I play this on my birthday (today) and realize how much these lyrics hit me right in the feels. gg
2020 ? Brasil
l'm crying for this song thound times
It will never get old
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way"
Well, thank God I'm not English
More like human way*
@Bakchod baba ji jo leta jaan chodke chodke Don't try to make all of us English
Those fucking lyrics are brutal
Нештяк!!! сорок лет слушаю!!!
Everutime i listen to this song, i get goosebumps, but in a good way
Es el mejor tema lejos de todos los tiempo el rock mundial la letra su musica la voz la guitarra y todo el ensamble lo mejor es un tema que no tiene tiempo perdurará por generaciones fue grabado en el año 1973
This song really hits home hard for me at the moment
"And then one day you'll find ten years have got behind you"
"You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking"
Where have the last ten years gone? 2010 felt like yesterday and I'm turning 34 this year. The way time passes by is terrifying. What an absolute genius song though
The older you get the more you understand my brother said now it's true
Thanks for allowing me to use your music with my personal Youtube video !!!!!!!!! real art exist because they share !!!! thanks PînkFloyd !
*insert advertisement* COME ON MAN IT RUINS IT!
Time and Tide wait for no man. We never have enough of it or we have too much of it and we can never catch it or change it. Time marches on.
How many people did drugs to this song, we may not know but sure is a lot.
Song starts at 2:12
I’ll never forget hearing this song for the first time. it totally changes the way you listen to ,and feel music.a true masterpiece!
Saludo CHIQUITINA DE BIG FARM
2:50 dio maiale lol
No Time for Time!!!!!!!!!
Che pezzo!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire
Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
My uncle turned me onto this song back in 2010 pre graduation, wish I would of paid better attention to the lyrics and meaning back then...lol live and learn. Love ya unc. "Then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" so deep.
3:40 to 4:10 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
Dammit, still can't get through this song...
In 100 years DSOTM will be revered like Beethoven's 9th symphony. It is high art.
It already is bro there was a poll the other day and it was regarded as the greatest album of all time

Gilmour's solo...always makes my eyes water.
A 20th century classic...song for the ages...
Whomever dislikes this song and video should be tarred and featured
God damn these lyrics mean a lot
Es una canción muy especial para mi,me recuerda mi adolecencia,fue de las primeras que escuche de pink floyd,mi Papa lo escuchaba yo era muy chica y de allí empezó mi gusto por ese grupo.
I have one tattoo, I got it in 2018, and it is a black pocket watch with the Dark Side of the Moon cover in the center. To me, it's a visual representation of this song and how it describes how my life has gone so far.
Buenísima esta rola,única ,super chingona.
I really wish the first time I heard this song I was on psychedelics.
“Happy New Year! One year closer to death!”
—friend of mine
I love this song, but sometimes in the guitar solo I just cry for no reason thinking about everyone in the past years of my life who have left and isn't here anymore. This song is genius I love you pink floyd. I love you Nonno. I love everyone who have been besides me through thick and thin
I have time to listen this, for now ))
Most relatable song of all time (no pun intended)!
Artes sonoras..❣🎶🥂
Time...
Enjoy life now. Getting old is a gift from the gods. Because many many people will never have the luxury of a long life.
Wonderful💗💗💗
This song is about living your life to the fullest because life is short and time flies. So everyone out there, make the most of your time on Earth.

@emilio arbanas thank you sending video:)
Yes I know what song about that's why i live life to fullest :) in a good and bad way even tho I'm young I love real music also
Time, one of life's biggest mysteries...Time is in the mind, yet is in the physical as well. Did you ever wonder why time does not fly, on and off, even when you are feeling good/deeply enthralled and severely interested in a project? Ask the pope--he knows.
From now on when someone asks, "How ya doin'?" I'm going to reply, "Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."
If they smile, I'll know they're down with the Pink. If they look horrified, I'll know I'm among the heathen.

3:12 my soul starts leaving my body
2020... floyd forever
Минута е много
Born in 1979.
In Love with Pink Floyd ever
Lucky you
this intro makes me shivering..awsome
Uno de los mejores grupos
Pongan tusa
This song is basically the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and I honestly say it is very easy to relate to some things but as you get older it gets more relate able
The genius of this song is that even the guitar solo is a representation of time itself.
From 3:13 till 4:10 you imagine the youth years with energy, aggressiveness, boldness...and all of a sudden at 4:10 things slow down...you got old...
Anyway this is how I see it
NotSure1408 Great analysis I think you’re right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Ywy5XUN9A&feature=youtu.be
4:10 it's my favorite part, when it slow down. ❤
I like the way you see things

This song is all about the English experience of the late sixties. In the US we never quite got to the same kind of welfare state as they did.
Time is a gift don’t waste it, Tell that special someone you love them, spend time with friends and family, do what you love.
