about

Music in Exile is proud to present the new single ‘Time Flies’ from Elsy Wameyo, recorded in Adelaide with a long-time collaborator and producer Mario Späte (Tkay Maidza, Montaigne, Okenyo).

Completed during the turbulence of COVID lockdowns, this track speaks about staying motivated and making the most of your opportunities regardless of the difficulties that you might face. Sharp spoken word verses precede a catchy chorus melody that the listener finds themselves humming long after the track has finished, sonically representing the lyric’s messages of commitment and dedication.

In Time Flies, Elsy Wameyo reveals yet another aspect of her vocal flexibility, seamlessly switching between articulate and commanding verses, and floating chorus melodies.

lyrics

Only got one shot to take
One life to live
Don’t let ‘em stand in your way
The things of the world come to pass and it’ll never last ya’
In time it’ll fade
Never lose site of the race
What more will it take ya
Your fate lies deep within your ways
You decide you decide where your place is
Where you begin all the races
When you’re stuck in mazes
When they went out to replace ya’
But now you’re a A-list
Now they looking for the kid with answers
Underestimate the chance for the standards
Now we’re running the place
Out the way get out the way
We’re taking that first place
Run it at a fast pace
Ready to
Plan out the escape
Defending the first page
Switch up the intervals in a new region
They never believe in
They don’t understanding now we undefeated
They never believe in

Only got one shot at life what road will you take
Don’t you take the high way
Time flies no time to waste
If it was all up to you would you throw away
All the pain and fly away

Been living the life of excuses
Battling bruises
Stuck in the fight
Defeat is a state of mind
So how do you choose it
Piece it together but what does it mean
You’re stuck in between
How to take a step
Learn to redirect
Disconnect and recollect faster
New direction need to recapture
Turning pages to a new chapter
The same equation need a new answer
No way don’t let them define
Eye to eye you are divine
Never lose the track of your time
Believe in yourself be the guide
Everything is in the mind
It’s all up to you to decide

Only got one shot at life what road will you take
Don’t you take the high way
Time flies no time to waste
If it was all up to you would you throw away
All the pain and fly away

All you need is in your hands for you to create
Your highway
Time flies no time to waste
Now that it’s all up to you what card will you play
For the pain to go way
