Hourglass Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: LIZ]
Just an outline made of skin
And my walls are paper thin
I wanna let you color me in (Me in, me in)
Feel like I’m drowning from the sound
Of all the silence all around
My thoughts are bound, I’m going down
I’m turning inside out

[Pre-Chorus: LIZ]
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white

[Chorus: LIZ]
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by

[Pre-Chorus: LIZ]
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white

[Chorus: LIZ]
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by

See Zedd Live

Get tickets as low as $95

[Pre-Chorus: LIZ]
This time I finally need a light, a light
Tired of seeing in black and white, white

[Chorus: LIZ]
Having flashes in my mind
Can’t take the ticking of time
The time that’s passing by

[Instrumental Outro]

About

“Hourglass” is the first song on Zedd’s debut album, Clarity. It features singer-songwriter LIZ, who was currently signed to another EDM powerhouse’s label, Diplo.

It prominently features a ticking clock noise throughout the song, which is meant to represent the ticking of time, just like the hourglass of the title suggests.
