Paroles de la chanson
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
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
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
And 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 faithfull to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
Explication des paroles de Time de Pink Floyd
La chanson ‘Time’ de Pink Floyd aborde le thème du passage du temps et de la prise de conscience de la fuite inéluctable de la vie. Créée en 1973 pour l’album emblématique « The Dark Side of the Moon », la chanson traite de la pression du temps qui pèse sur chacun de nous et de la nécessité de profiter de chaque instant. Une anecdote intéressante sur cette chanson est que le tic-tac régulier qui rythme la chanson a été enregistré en synchronisant 24 réveils. ‘Time’ est devenue l’une des chansons les plus appréciées du groupe et demeure une réflexion intemporelle sur la nature éphémère de la vie.
