This track from the Foo Fighters delves deeply into the concept of time and its inexorable march. The lyrics suggest a relationship that is on the brink of ending, with both parties aware but hesitant to acknowledge it. The phrase "It's just a matter of time" underscores this inevitability, hinting at an impending breakup. Additionally, the lyrics also touch upon themes of regret and nostalgia, as indicated by "And though I hate to rewind before." The song subtly communicates the pain of looking back at happier times while being trapped in a deteriorating present. Lastly, the repeated question "Where the hell are you?" expresses a sense of loss and longing for a partner who seems emotionally distant or physically absent.
A Matter of Time
Lyrics
Let's change the subject to someone else
You know lately I've been subject to change
Normally I reel in the strange
Hangover, I'm older
You're one to talk, the heart is a clock
Just like a bomb it keeps on ticking away
Counting down to detonate
You will need an army to summon me
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh, ooh
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you
It's just a matter of time before, before
It's just a matter of time before, before
And though I hate to rewind before, before
It's just a matter of time
My past is getting us nowhere fast
I was never one for taking things slow
Nowhere seems like somewhere to go
Come over, and over
Doing my time for line after line
When will I learn to sing these crimes to myself?
Prisoners to share a cell with
I'm holding, still holding
Holding you in
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh, ooh
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you
It's just a matter of time before, before
It's just a matter of time before, before
And though I hate to rewind before, before
It's just a matter of time
Where the hell are you? Ooh, ooh
Where the hell are you? Ooh, ooh
Where the hell are you?
It's just a matter of time before, before
It's just a matter of time before, before
And though I hate to rewind before, before
It's just a matter of time
What does it matter now?
What does it matter now?
What does it matter now?
What does it matter now?
It's just a matter of time
Time
