Where's the love song to set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round
And I don't know what life would be
If we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's on a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time
We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round
And I don't know what life would be
If we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It's on a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time
We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time

This song is about war (in particular the Gulf War's hence the Arabic themed tunes in the background), death and running 'out of time' in your life to not have 'had the time to open your mind' and help appreciate the world, appreciate loved ones not here any more 'now on a computer, gone to the future way out in space' or do enough to help other less fortunate.
The world's a bleak dangerous place, 'too many people down, everything turning the wrong way round'.
Damon Albarn lead singer of Blur, is an anti-war campaigner who takes a big interest in oriental and middle eastern styled musical influences. I believe this song is an anti-war protest.
I love this song so much, it reminds me i shouldn't turn away and look over the atrocities taking place on the planet for Greed and corruption. It remind's me that I'm not living on earth forever and if i don't work hard enough to be a better person and help others, when the time comes of my death, I'll be 'Out of Time' to do anything about it. The bleak Arabic instrument played in the background, Albarn' soothing voice remind's me of the realities of life - which aren't great besides the few moment's of happiness you encounter now and then.
the sunlight is much more better than the light of the computer screen.
go out and find the love in everything.
Where's the love song,
To set us free?
some thing that will get us out of numbness because-
Too many people down,
Everything turning the wrong way 'round.
but he dont know wat it will be cause if he knew he would have told us and set us free.
and then he tells us to enjoy the movement of the world spinning gently out of time. and than theres the punch line of the song when out of time is getting out of context and tells us we r out of time and there is nothing to do anymore because
It's in a computer now.
Gone are the future, way out in space.
mm sry for my spelling
He's saying that he's had enough and now it's over-"we're out of time"
"And I don't know what love will be. But if we stop dreaming now, lord knows we'll never clear the clouds."
To me this means that he is trying to live a life of love, peace, kindness, and hope and he knows it may be a lost cause and all turn out to be a waste, but on the other hand it might turn out to be something wonderful.
The "love song" that sets us free isn't a boy and girl love song, it's the song that unites the world together through one love. But this is just my opinion.
