Bentham - Time Over (english translation)

I have a feeling that I botched this really badly, but here's my attempt at translating this song into English.

The way I read it was that "time over" meant the person singing was dying, and I assumed that's what the doppelgangers in the video meant. However, I saw another translation that took a very different approach to it, so I might be way off.



タイムオーバー / Time Over

Lyrics: Tatsuya Ozeki
Music: Reiji Tsuji

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky
Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky

One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five
I’ll run

Not yet, there’s still something after this
Each time I take a breath,
Pieces break off and fall down
Not yet, there’s still more
I’m disappearing with the bubbles from the soda

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Getting excited, I’m filled with joy
Unchanging things are disappearing
I stand still and look back
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky
Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky

One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five
I’ll run

Not yet, there’s still more
I’m disappearing with the bubbles from the soda

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Getting excited, I’m filled with joy
Unchanging things are disappearing
I stand still and look back
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Notes:
*, ** These lines are probably very wrong
