Tempus fugit (Classical Latin pronunciation: [ˈt̪ɛmpʊs̠ ˈfʊɡit̪]) is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Virgil 's Georgics , [ 1 ] where it appears as fugit irreparabile tempus : "it escapes, irretrievable time".
Written by bandleader Steven Wilson, "Time Flies" is the centrepiece of the 55-minute movement that comprises the first disc of the album.The track deals with the passage of time and the phenomenon that as one gets older, time seems to pass even more quickly, with the lyrics making reference to Wilson's life so far.
