i have to agree with both thoughts on the meaning of this song, for the sole reason that both make perfect sense. For the first one, with the love, yes it seems he is viewing her from afar, and finally he gets to be with her, but she is a complete ass to him, and he knows this, and wants to get out of it, but he was soo into her so "addicted" that he keeps telling himself "i wont let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it" And you being his brain, telling him that its over, that time is simply running out. for the other meaning the drug, i can totally see that, with the addiction and the high, and the chorus "I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it" what he wont let bury/smothered/murdered is his own life.

Time is running out is about the secret goverment organisation secretly running the world behind closed doors from the public eye, the illuminiti are the real leaders and are making the every day world decisions, and the song is on about the truth...

It's not about abortion, I'm gonna agree with the drug theory. It never occured to me that it might be about drugs, but once it was brought up, it makes sense.

I see the song as meaning both drug use and infuation with a lover. It could mean end to both if the cards aren't played right. Maybe the lover didn't like his drug use, so he could loose her, or if he loves her, he could loose the drug addiction. Both painful in different ways.

for some reason the style of this song reminds me of j-rock. I could easily see this sung by Gackt or some j-rocker similar to him.
