The lyrics juxtapose the many marvels and feats of human civilisation with the death of the natural world, constantly emphasising the passing of time — "Time is not a friend, 'cos friends we're out of time". The recording features a lead guitar solo in the style of George Harrison. Lennon originally wrote a guitar solo for the song.
Ocean's vocals are covered over the instrumental of the Eagles' 1977 single "Hotel California". [1] Ocean sings of a failed and hasty romance in the song.
