Chronos
Cepheid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Sudden ringing, I slowly get up
And turn off the noise, already fed up
It echoes loudly inside my conscience
Reminding me that tomorrow's hopeless
I'm slowly rotting inside a jail cell
A never ending, descending dark hell
I waste time trying while time still goes on
I don't understand where I went wrong
Slow the fuck down, just hold a minute
My life's still spinning out of control
Moments pass by while I'm still tangled
I cannot keep up, I feel alone
Time's still moving, a chronic nightmare
I can't escape from, I can't obscure
Holding onto the hands of time, but
The hour hand just keeps moving on

Please just slow down, hold on a minute
My life's still spinning out of control
Moments pass by while I'm still tangled
I cannot keep up, I feel alone
Time's still moving, a chronic nightmare
I can't escape from, I can't obscure
Holding onto the hands of time, but

Slow the fuck down, just hold a minute
My life's still spinning out of control
Moments pass by while I'm still tangled
I cannot keep up, I feel alone
Time's still moving, a chronic nightmare
I can't escape from, I can't obscure

Holding onto the hands of time, but
The hour hand just keeps moving on


Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Chronos" by Cepheid paint a picture of the struggle and confusion associated with the relentless march of time. The singer wakes up to a sudden ringing, a reminder of the ever-present ticking clock. This persistent noise echoes within their own thoughts, growing increasingly hopeless as the realization sets in that another day is passing by. The metaphor of being trapped inside a jail cell emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape the passing of time.


As the song continues, the singer pleads with time to slow down, but the hands of the clock continue to move forward without regard for their struggle. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, reinforces the idea that life is spinning out of control and the singer feels lost and alone in their struggle to keep up. The use of repetition underscores the cyclical nature of time and the frustration that comes with feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying and failing to keep up.


Overall, "Chronos" is a poignant exploration of the human experience of time and the struggle to make the most of the moments we're given. It speaks to the universal feelings of anxiety and hopelessness that can arise when we feel as though time is slipping away from us.

I wake up abruptly to a loud noise


And turn off the noise, already fed up

I'm trying to hold onto time, but it's slipping away


The hour hand just keeps moving on
Time keeps moving forward, and I can't stop it
