​bo en - My Time (Romanized) Lyrics

[Verse 1: bo en]
Close your eyes, you'll be here soon
Ichi ni san shi go fun
Tokidoki, hontou ni netai
Demo, kono waado dekinai

[Refrain: Utane Uta]
Oyasumi
Oyasumi
Oyasumi
Oyasu—

[Chorus: bo en]
Oyasumi, oyasumi
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
Oyasumi, oyasumi
I know that it's hard to do

[Verse 2]
Days go by, shou ga nai
Moments pass, shattered glass
Hands of time, where's that chime?
In my head
I'll just, I'll just
I'll just, I'll just
[Verse 3]
Hands (Hands!) of time will wring my neck
Every little moment spells regret
But I don't have to feel this way
As a voice inside my head

[Refrain: Utane Uta]
Oyasumi
Oyasumi
Oyasumi
Oyasu—

[Chorus: bo en]
Oyasumi, oyasumi
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
Oyasumi, oyasumi
I know that it's hard to do

[Interlude]
Hey!
Hеy!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hеy, hey!

[Chorus: bo en]
Oyasumi, oyasumi
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
Oyasumi, oyasumi
I know that it's hard to do
Oyasumi, oyasumi
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
Oyasumi, oyasumi
I know that it's hard to do

Genius Annotation

“My Time,” originally written and released in 2013, gained popularity in both 2014 and 2020 with the release of the trailer for the game OMORI, and the game itself, respectively. The trailer’s pitched-up version of the song is included in the soundtrack for the game.

Lyrically, the Bo En has referred to the song like a period of time where life feels like a “disconnected dream where life passes you,” and characterized the feeling as insomnia.

The album and especially this song revolve around Coltrane-like chord changes; Bo En has stated that this song was inspired in part by “Giant Steps,” which can be heard most clearly in the pre-chorus.
