about

The original song appears on my 2017 album On the Edge of Reality. It's about the realisation of losing time as life goes on.
This was done on Soundtrap as part of my semester 2 solo performance at Victoria University (I'm currently in the second year of the Bachelor of Music).

This was one of two songs in the set. The other song I presented in this performance was "Lost in a Dream". This can be found on the Melody EP in my discography.

lyrics

It's getting late, the time has come
Nothing's learnt when all is said and done
Silent raindrops fall against the window pane
Think of times you won't live through again

Life is very short.
That is clear, all my friends
There's no time for making a mess
Leave all you have; it's almost the end
There have been things left unsaid
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
Plans come to nought, and fates never led
Success is throwing darts in the dark

Every second one spends is precious
You wouldn't want to make life reckless
Bury your fears in the fiery ground
Nowhere else is your salvation found

Life is very short.
That is clear, all my friends
There's no time for making a mess
Leave all you have; it's almost the end
There have been things left unsaid
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
Plans come to nought, and fates never led
Life is like throwing darts in the dark
