| Song lyrics |
Been given 24 hours
to tie up loose ends
to make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
and the silence deafened
Head spinning round
no time to sit down
just wanted to
run and run and run
Be careful they say
don’t wish life away,
now I’ve one day
And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time
In 24 hours they’ll be
laying flowers
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me
Is there a heaven a hell
and will I come back
who can tell
Now I can see
what matters to me
it’s as clear as crystal
The places I’ve been
the people I’ve seen
plans that I made
start to fade
The sun’s setting gold
thought I would grow old,
it wasn’t to be
And I can’t believe
How I’ve been wasting my time
In 18 hours they’ll be
laying flowers
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me
In 13 hours they’ll be
laying flowers
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
Please do it for me
I’m not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
And I can’t believe
How much I’ve wasted my time
In just 8 hours they’ll be
laying flowers
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me
In just 1 hour they’ll be
laying flowers
on my life, it’s over tonight
I’m not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me

| what this song is about is that the doctor told her that she was gonna die and then shes like its over and then she says dont be sad promise me that you'll be free not sad and then she counts down how many hours she has left so i think thats mostly what the song is about.
this song makes me sad lol i just cant help it i think about what if that happened 2 me or some1 i really luv anyways i luv this song the beat is tight and especially the lyrics.

| I think this song is about someone who just found out that she only has 24 hours to live. She's thinking about all the things she has to do and all the mistakes she has to fix before she runs out of time. This is the theme song to the TV show "24." And it kicks ass, its so dramatic, I love it. | 09-04-2005 19:47 sweet_sk8erGurl |  5 posts

Well, I know the consensus is that a doc has told the girl she only has a day left to live...
But this is how the song struck me:
It strikes me that the girl has lost a relationship somehow with a guy she loved, hence the falling, deafness, and since the romance went sour, the desire to run. She's been given 24 hours by her own hand, and the reason I say that is in the chorus she says she needs someone's blessing, and it doesn't strike me that she would need someone's blessing to die unless she was dying of her own hand.
Just a different perspective. I love it the song, I heard it this morning and couldn't get it out of my head.  | 14-05-2005 03:35 Kei__33 |  3 posts

I love this song! It doesnt strike me as sad because the beat is so up!
I think the song is about some one who has been given 24 hours to live. Hence the laying flowers on my life. Also some one said something about the blessing, religious people need a blessing when they die. Its a way for their god letting them into heaven and basicly for a safe trip there and so forth. I believe this song could swing both ways. Some one dieing and someone who is getting over an relationship, but i believe it goes more for the dieing, just makes sense
This song is brilliant! I just hope she comes to Australia for a tour! | 09-06-2005 17:21 Baino |  2,208 posts

such a beautiful song.....sad in it's own tragedy of one dying and looking back on their life..knowing that they are going to die in 24 hours and hoping that all the choices they made in life were the right choices. | 26-02-2006 12:59 SnowAngel32 |  72 posts

Oooh, this song`s pretty cool. Kinda got a mysterious feel. I like how it has string instruments and an electric guitar. Sounds like Evanescence a little. Anyways, luv the song. 3

I love this song!! It;s nt depressing, it just makes you look at yourself. The girl knew she had 24 hours left, but what about us?? We do not know when we are going to die, we do not know if this is the last day of our lives or not... and that makes you look at yourslf "what if i dont see the new day" and makes you live each day as though it's your last, tie up loose ends and make amends...  | 03-04-2006 03:15 Ammer |  122 posts
