So here is the words of the above song **"Hands of Time"** by **Groove Armada**:

"Keep looking through the window pane
Just trying to see through the pouring rain
It's hearing your name
Hearing your name
I really never felt quite the same
Since I've lost what I had to gain
No one to blame
No one to blame

Seems to me
Can't turn back the hands of time
Woah, it seems to me
Can't turn back the hands of time

Keep looking through the window pane
Just trying to see through the pouring rain
It's hearing your name
Hearing your name
I really never felt quite the same
Since I've lost what I had to gain
No one to blame
No one to blame

Seems to me
Can't turn back the hands of time
Woah, it seems to me
Can't turn back the hands of time

Seems to me
Can't turn back the hands of time
Seems to me
History was left behind"



So the song **"Hands of Time"** by **Groove Armada** is **very much about time** — but in a **deep, emotional, and philosophical way**. It's not just about the passing of time, but about **reflection, regret, love, and the desire to hold on to something fleeting**.

## **Key Themes in the Lyrics of "Hands of Time":**

### 1. **Longing and Regret**

The lyrics express a sense of **yearning for the past** — possibly a lost love, or a moment that cannot be relived. The voice in the song seems to be **looking back**, asking whether things could have gone differently.

> *"I’m standing in the morning light / I’ll never get you back again..."*

This captures the **emotional toll of time**, and how it separates us from people and experiences.

---

### 2. **The Passage of Time**

The song reflects on how **time flows inevitably forward**, beyond our control.

> *"The hands of time / Are moving on..."*

This simple yet powerful line encapsulates the core of the song — **time cannot be stopped**, and no matter what we feel or want, it keeps going.

---

### 3. **Emotional Weight of Time**

There’s a quiet melancholy in the vocals and tone — the music is **slow, atmospheric, almost mournful**. It’s not just a lyrical reflection on time, but also an **emotional immersion** in what it feels like to live with **loss, memory, and helplessness** in the face of time.

---

## **Musical Style and Mood**

* **Downtempo / Chillout**
* Warm, soft beats with ambient textures
* The **vocals are introspective and soulful**, matching the mood of night driving through a city — perfect for the emotional atmosphere of *Collateral*.

---

## **In the Movie *Collateral* (Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_(film) ): **

The song plays as Max drives the cab through L.A., lost in his thoughts. It mirrors his **inner quiet**, his **longing for a better life**, and sets the tone for how time is running out for his dreams — just as he's about to be pulled into a violent, life-changing night.

---

### In Short:

> **"Hands of Time" is about the emotional weight of time — how it moves forward no matter what, leaving us with memories, regrets, and a sense of loss.**
> It’s not just about time passing — it’s about how we *feel* as it passes.
