Time Is A Jailer

Anouk · Together Alone

No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around
But I still hear your whisper in the dark
I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please
But time is a jailer for me

A face in the window, looking inside
But no one else sees it, I know
And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me

I shut out the light
Alone in the dark
This time of night
Is the hardest part

And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me

I still hear the whisper, your heels on the floor
I wait for the sound of your key in the door
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
That time is a jailer for me
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
Time's just a jailer for me
Time's just a jailer for me

Time Is A Jailer

Anouk's 'Time Is A Jailer' stands as a defining track from her 2007 album 'Together Alone,' showcasing her signature blend of electronic pop and soulful vocals. Released during a period where she refined her sound with a more mature, introspective edge, the song features a driving beat that complements her emotive delivery. As part of her broader discography, which includes works like 'Urban Solitude' and 'Who's Your Momma,' this recording highlights her ability to craft atmospheric tracks that resonate with themes of emotional resilience and personal growth. The song remains a staple in her catalog, often cited as a key example of her evolution from early dance-pop influences to a more polished, indie-electronic style that characterized her later career.
