Who gives a shit about mine? Death grips got a hold of my side Cause the only way to make us laugh Is to make us cry [Refrain 2] Just when you thought you’ve seen it all A storm awaits behind the door Disgruntled right down to the core We still go on [Chorus 3] Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb nobody cares Till it’s too late Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb you better pray You’re somewhere safe [Chorus 4] Oh we got a time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh Is to make us cry Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away Watching the time bomb ticking away [Chorus 5] You’re Watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh Is to make us cry You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside Everybody needs a little help When the world is blind You’re Watching the time bomb ticking away inside And the only way to make us laugh Is to make us cry [Chorus 6] You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away You’re watching the time bomb ticking away [Outro] Our world has got another day Locked up in a little cage This world is a bitter place Our world has got another day Locked up in a little cage This world is a bitter place

Cette chanson évoque l'imminence d'une catastrophe, symbolisée par une bombe à retardement qui avance inexorablement. Les paroles soulignent une tension palpable, décrivant un monde où l'indifférence prévaut jusqu'à ce qu'il soit trop tard pour réagir. Les métaphores de la souffrance personnelle et des mensonges persistants renforcent l'idée que l'on doit faire face à des vérités difficiles, même si cela implique de plonger dans la douleur. Le contexte se situe dans une époque de désillusion et d'anxiété, où les luttes intérieures et les peurs collectives se mêlent, révélant un besoin urgent de connexion et de soutien. C'est un appel à ne pas ignorer les problèmes, mais plutôt à les affronter avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.
