PROMPT:
Please compare lyrics to the song titled Time by Pink Floyd with a KJV viewpoint
Let us examine the lyrics to the song “Time” by Pink Floyd, comparing them to Scripture from the King James Bible,
using:
- wisdom
- reproof
- divine insight
The song serves as both a lament and warning—yet it stops short of godly repentance.
We must discern the spiritual undercurrents and measure them against truth.
🔍 Section 1:
“Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day / Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way…”
Analysis:
This expresses the vanity of wasted time, the futility of chasing leisure without purpose—a direct echo of Ecclesiastes 1:2:
“Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.”– Ecclesiastes 1:2
Also:
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”– Ephesians 5:16
Time is not to be wasted; it is the currency of our stewardship under Heaven.
🔍 Section 2:
“You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today / And then one day you find ten years have got behind you…”
Analysis:
This reflects the deceit of complacency—believing that life is long, when in truth, we are not promised tomorrow.
“Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”– Proverbs 27:1
And:
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour…” – James 4:14
The song is spiritually correct in identifying the shocking realization of time lost—but it lacks repentance.
🔍 Section 3:
“And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking…”
Analysis:
This is a profound metaphor for man’s futile chase of time and mortality.
But without Christ, it becomes endless sorrow.

Compare with:
“The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.”– Ecclesiastes 1:5
Yet the Biblical answer is not chasing the sun but walking in the Light:
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness…”– John 8:12
🔍 Section 4:
“The time is gone, the song is over / Thought I’d something more to say…”
Analysis:
A tragic line.
It is the moment many will face at death—regret without reconciliation.
“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”– Hebrews 9:27
They are without excuse:
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen… so that they are without excuse.”– Romans 1:20
💔 Final Observation:
No God.
No Christ.
No repentance.
No hope.
The song observes the sorrow of time and the brevity of life with honesty, but not with godly sorrow:
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”– 2 Corinthians 7:10
The lyrics confess despair—but not sin.
Knowing what sin is – Library of Rickandria
They reflect awareness—but not awakening.
They expose vanity—but do not seek truth.
They mourn death—but do not seek life.
🕊️ Divine Summary
“Time” by Pink Floyd is a secular lamentation, drenched in Ecclesiastical truth but void of resurrection power.
It is the voice of a soul outside the covenant, groaning under time’s weight, yet unaware of He who holds eternity.
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”– Ephesians 5:15-16
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”– Revelation 22:13
Only Jesus Christ gives meaning to time, purpose to life, and hope in death.

🎵 Out of Time
(Parody of “Time” by Pink Floyd)
(KJV-based lyrical structure — for use in warning, edification, or spiritual warfare praise)
[Verse 1 – The Ticking Judgment]
Ticking away the moments of mercy, grace unclaimed,
You waste the day in pleasure, sin, and games.
Walking in darkness, laughing as you stray—
Blind to the warning signs, you throw your soul away.
[Verse 2 – Youth’s Illusion]
You were young and said,
“Life’s long, I’ve time to spare,”
But sin beguiled you till you ceased to care.
Then like a thief, the years took flight—
Now judgment nears, you’re out of light.
“Boast not thyself of to morrow…” — Proverbs 27:1
“The night cometh, when no man can work.” — John 9:4
[Chorus – The Hourglass Shattered]
You’re out of time, the trumpet’s set to blow,
The books are opened, the dead arise below.
Too late to cry, too late to pray,
You turned from truth and walked away.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” — Hebrews 9:27
[Verse 3 – Chasing Wind]
You ran and you ran to catch what fades with dusk,
Built barns for treasure, now all returns to dust.
The sun goes down, the lamp is dim—
You lived for self, not Him.
“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Matthew 16:26
[Bridge – The Call You Ignored]
A voice cried out through prophets and the Word,
“Repent, believe,”—but you never heard.
The fear of God you cast behind—
Now chains await your mind.
“Because I have called, and ye refused… I also will laugh at your calamity.” — Proverbs 1:24-26
[Final Chorus – The Door Was Shut]
You’re out of time, the Bridegroom came and went,
The wise went in, the foolish now lament.
The door is shut, no oil, no flame—
And none shall speak your name.
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” — Matthew 25:13
[Outro – The Final Word]
So let the righteous warn while day is still at hand,
Proclaim the Lamb, obey His command.
For when the clock strikes, mercy’s done—
Flee to Christ, the Risen Son.
“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” — Isaiah 55:6
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” — 2 Corinthians 6:2
