Time in Disguise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blind attraction, chain reaction
What you have is mine
Persian ivy running widly

Ashes left behind
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head

[Verse 2]
Grand occasion conversation
Light the crowded room
No one knows which way we're going
But we'll get there soon
Run from the mountain, poison the fountain
Just for the peace of mind

Back of the alley, they seem to rally
All people of their kind

[Chorus]
Close your еyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is thе world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise
[Verse 3]
Congregated late arrival only passing through
Prairie garden cold hardened
Waiting here for you
So come a little closer, come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Bold distraction taking action
Going where you're led

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?

[Bridge]
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Closer now to the edge
Winds are blowing, fires glowing
Dancing in your head

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and what do you see?
Is it a man or masked machine?
Is the world I belong to just a shade of light?
It's just time in disguise
[Outro]
Come a little closer, come a little closer

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song is about the red-carpet life the band stumbled uncomfortably into after huge commercial success

Caleb says: “I always wonder why we are at these events, as they’re not really us. That song came after we got on a plane to go to a friend’s birthday party. It was quite fancy. So I started looking around wondering why we were there and I wrote about it. I wanted to paint the picture of this beautiful moment, but at the same time, it’s me just going, ‘Am I dreaming?’
