Then, between the ages of 40 and 60 (1/7th of the song), they try to make up for the time they wasted in their life, but then realize it is too late.įor the final minute, the song is talking about someone in old age doing nothing but sitting home and remembering their life.ĭid not check this for errors, so I hope it makes sense. Then comes the guitar solo.which I consider the period of life that a person realizes they are in a midlife crisis, and that their life is a failure according to their standards. However, they still don't reach the expectations that they had dreamed to reach when they were younger. When the guitar kicks in, the stanza represents someone in their 20s-30s, who continues these habits but suddenly realizes the time is now to do something. I believe this part shows the ignorant bliss you go through the first third of your life. For the first 1/3rd of the song, after the clocks ring (the start of your life), there's simply nothing but instrumental.which slowly builds from a soft heartbeat to a melody with power chords and a drum that plays for a good 2 minutes before the guitar kicks in. General CommentWhat I think people have failed to note in the comments is how the song itself a representation of someone's lifetime. It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Shorter of breath and one day closer to deathĮvery year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Racing around to come up behind you again No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gunĪnd you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill todayĪnd then one day you find ten years have got behind you Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Ticking away the moments that make up a dull dayįritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
