Foo fighters - a matter of time

이 노래는 주제를 다른 사람으로 바꾸며 자신의 변화와 고민을 이야기한다
마음속의 갈등과 과거가 현재에 미치는 영향이 복잡하게 얽혀 있으며, 상대방의 반응이 자신에게 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다고 느낀다
일상의 반복 속에서도 과거와의 연관성을 깊이 탐구하는 내용을 담고 있다

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 that keeps on tickin' away
Counting down to detonate
You will need an army disarmin' me
It doesn't matter much to me
If it doesn't matter much to you, ooh-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 takin' things slow
Nowhere seems like somewhere to go
Come over and over
Doin' my time for line after line
When will I learn to sing these crimes to myself?
Prisoners to share a cell with
I'm holdin', still holdin', holdin' you in
