Discover the story of the song > Time Keeps on Slipping Into the Future – iron chic

The song talks about life being a cycle that goes on endlessly, and how it can be scary at times. The protagonist is trying to find his place in the world, but even when he succeeds, he doesn't really know why he exists. The chorus suggests that if something is wrong, then everything else is wrong too, and that striving for something can also pull people apart. The bridge talks about the protagonist wanting to be laid down by a river when he dies, and he will let the water wash him away, as he believes that he's just blood, dirt, bones, and mud - and that's okay with him.
