Time Lyrics

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You 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

Tired of lying in the sunshine...

    I think its just about there is so much shit in the world
    that you can get caught up and you try each and every day to get through life but then you stop and realize there is so much time that you can't get back.

    This was Roger Water's realization that he was in control of his life and he didn't have to wait for it to happen.

    Watch the Dark Side of the Moon album making-of DVD for a more in-depth review from the man himself.

    This song is about the time that Roger Waters wasted while with the band because he was being held back by the other members and the fans.

    Basically it's all about how time goes by without you noticing it - or to quote Jeremy Hardy "Life doesn't begin at 40 - it just takes you that long to realise that it's happening" - or words to that effect

    This song is about the actual time that you spend in your life. It is about living in the moment because in reality life is just a series of memories so live out your time.

    It's about wasting your life away when youre young. "you are young and life is long..." Pretty cool intro.
