LYRICS:
When pretending lends a helping hand we hold it close, so close, and never let it go.
Then, the pen begins to write the story with an end that bends right out of our control.

How did we get so jaded? I don’t know,
Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
I never valued minutes I burned through.
Is that just how it goes?
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated,
You’re devastated, sorry to say,
I can’t fix it, is this where I give in?

I’m falling through the hourglass,
And I don’t think I’ll ever make it back,
So I throw stones at walls I’ll never climb,
Victim to the sands of time,
Falling through the hourglass,
The hourglass.

Time is strange, it’s ever flowing never going back.
It moves, but only in one way.
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote, do you still feel the same? I’ll bet your mind has changed.

How did it get so scary? I don’t know,
Was it the hard life starving our egos?
I never valued minutes I burned through.
Is that just how it goes?
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated,
You’re devastated, sorry to say,
I can’t fix it, is this where I give in?

I’m falling through the hourglass,
And I don’t think I’ll ever make it back,
So I throw stones at walls I’ll never climb,
Victim to the sands of time,
Falling through the hourglass,
The hourglass.

Cause that's just how it goes.

I’m falling through the hourglass,
And I don’t think I’ll ever make it back,
So I throw stones at walls I’ll never climb,
Victim to the sands of time,
Falling through the hourglass,
The hourglass.

God "victim to the sands of time" is such a raw line

[jamhopsey]

I love the creepy aesthetic they pulled together for this. It fits the midnight vibe while still balancing a good amount of pop and punk to pull the whole thing together

[iccramlovr]

Set it Off has never disappointed me. I’ve loved their music for at least two years now and I don’t think I’ve ever loved one of their songs more than this one. The instruments, sounds, and Cody’s singing are just perfect together. I never realized I needed this type of song in my life until just now.

[ramc]

THIS SONG DEFINITELY DESERVES A MUSIC VIDEO, THE CHORUS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME.

[mikuemblem]

I DONT CARE IF ITS 5AM IM LISTENING ANYWAYS

[summerrandall]

“The pen begins to write the story” I love this song. The passion is amazing.

[xylahmaur]

haven’t listened to it yet but i know it’s gonna be good

edit: i was right

[coconi_art]

Is nobody going to talk about the album logo? The design is amazing! I love how the hands have 6 fingers instead of 5 because 6 + 6 is 12, the time of midnight, and as the "S" of "Set it off" is an hourglass! The song is spectacular and it has a unique rhythm, certainly one of my favorites. I'd DIE for going to one of their concerts 😭😭😭

My mom hates my music.


She just asked what band this is.



"Only cuz thats a good song"
And i got so excited

[skully]

Hourglass is downright my favourite song on this album. But all of them are outstanding, the band did such a amazing job on these songs.

[A_skyyy]

the chorus melody in this song is kinda shocking....in a GOOD WAY!

[somethingsomethingpolice]

Don't care if I have school tomorrow this is worth it!

[masterbendder]

when they say vote for "Dancing with the Devil" or "For you Forever" for a music video...I'd say do one for this instead

[Greeni_]

I have a small theory guys! The lyrics, "I’m falling through the hourglass,
And I don’t think I’ll ever make it back, " I think it means that Cody wants to go back in time and fixed what happened. With him killing by being drowned in the pool and trusting those people (Killer in the Mirror) and him turning into an alien and killing all of his friends (Lonely Dance) I don't really know If I'm correct, but I just thought of this.

[aeusarts]

Legit thought this was the "Hourglass Love" studio version.

Still, a lit song! 🔥

[silvereclipse]

I stayed up specifically for this and I’m not disappointed! (I stayed up until Midnight for Midnight)

[nootnootpingu]

So many songs I didn't know which one to listen to first

[DeadAngel]

This band always has cool graphics going on. Not to mention that the lead singer voice is amazing. I really enjoyed this song, glad to know that there are still great bands in this shitty generation. wish you luck guys ♡

[arandombowlofdorysoup]

YAY I’M SO HAPPY
SIX SECONDS IN IT’S ALREADY GREAT

[vannafink]

Omg finally I’ve been waiting for a new song and now it’s here! Listening to you guys for 5 years now. Love you Set it off. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
