About This Track

'Time Code' by Bright Eyes is an alternative track from 'Digital Ash in a Digital Urn' (2005). Its lyrics fold together death imagery and data entry, with lines about an encoded shared cause and “liquid clocks” that keep ticking until God is reached. The voice sounds trapped in a system it cannot switch off, alternating between hushed, stop talking instructions and compulsive insistence, as if the mind is caught in a crystal display.

"Time Code" is a track by Bright Eyes, from the album Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, released 25th January 2005. The track is 4:28 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Bright Eyes.

Lyrics

Time Code

Death
Data entry
Ant hill law
Encoded arc our common cause
Drink liquid clocks 'til I see God
Crystal display
Can't turn it off
Shh... shh... shhhh

Don't talk
Don't talk
