La historia
Borrowed Time nació de una reflexión sobre el tiempo y nuestra ilusión de creer que siempre tenemos más tiempo por delante.
La canción contrapone la despreocupación de la juventud con la sabiduría de quienes han comprendido lo rápido que pasan los años. Nos recuerda que nadie controla el tiempo ni sabe cuándo llegará el final de su camino.
Borrowed Time es, en última instancia, un simple recordatorio: no sabemos cuánto tiempo nos queda, así que cada instante cuenta.
Letra
Time is only a point to guide A fragile beacon we can't define It has no master no laws to bind We're living on borrowed time Til the Grim Reaper strikes
Only after the years have flown Do we feel how fast the days have gone Today, tomorrow, or years untold Every young heart will one day grow old
Time is only a point to guide A fragile beacon we can't define It has no master, no laws to bind We're living on borrowed time Til the Grim Reaper strikes
The innocence of youth can't see How silent flows eternity We think we'll live forevermore Until one day... time shuts the door.
Time is only a point to guide A fragile beacon we can't define It has no master, no laws to bind We're living on borrowed time Til the Grim Reaper strikes
Time is only a borrowed flame No soul can know from where it came We hold no power over the end Only He knows where all roads bend
Time is only a point to guide A fragile beacon we can't define It has no master, no laws to bind We're living on borrowed time Til the Grim Reaper strikes We're living on borrowed time Til the Grim Reaper strikes
