What it is

"Time" is the fourth track on Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, with lyrics by Roger Waters and music credited to all four band members. The song is about time passing and the idea that life is not just preparation for something later; Waters said it came from realizing in his late twenties that he was already in the middle of his life rather than getting ready for it.
