Stuck in Time

Original Single

“Stuck in Time” marks the emotional and creative debut of Natan Dagur as a recording artist and songwriter. Written entirely by Natan—both the lyrics and the topline—the song’s core structure came together in just two days, born from a rush of pure, unfiltered emotion.

The track delves into the deeply relatable feeling of being emotionally stuck—running in circles, weighed down by inner battles, and searching for a sense of purpose. It’s a haunting portrayal of what it means to hurt in silence while time feels frozen around you.

The instrumental was composed by Will Vaughan and Anders Højer, who also handled the mixing and mastering. Natan recorded all vocals himself—main takes, harmonies, and adlibs—in his self-built home studio, further asserting his raw authenticity and dedication to the craft.

While the single did not receive a music video, “Stuck in Time” found powerful resonance with listeners, gaining heavy radio rotation in Iceland and rising to nearly half a million Spotify streams to date.

This was more than just a first release—it was a statement. A voice entering the world, wounded but unapologetically real.

“I’m stuck in time, and I don’t like the way it feels.”

Verse
Last night, I didnt sleep much at all
Yeah my thoughts take over
Time goes slower
While I get older
Need a shoulder I can cry on

Pre Chorus
Been running in circles, been running alone in the dark
Been running for too long, redemption just seems way to far

Chorus
I’m stuck in time and I don’t like the way it feels
I never thought it would take so long for me to heal
Just give me purpose
I don’t deserve this
Nobody’s perfect
I’m stuck in time and I don’t like the way it feels
I don’t like the way it feels

Verse 2
I try, remaining my composure
But instead
I’m in my bed
Fighting with my head
As my heart keeps getting colder

Pre Chorus
Been running in circles, been running alone in the dark
Been running for too long, redemption just seems way to far

Bridge
It always takes some time to heal
I know
But right now that’s how I feel
(Yeah, yeah)

Last Chorus
I’m stuck in time and I don’t like the way it feels
(I don’t like the way it feels, I don’t like the way it feels)
I never thought it would take so long for me to heal
(It’s taking too long, it’s taking too long)
Just give me purpose
I don’t deserve this
Nobody’s perfect
(Nooo, yeahhh)
I’m stuck in time and I don’t like the way it feels
I don’t like the way it feels

Music has always been a way for me to make sense of things I couldn’t put into words. I write about real emotions, personal moments, and the things we all go through but don’t always talk about. My style leans toward emotional pop ballads, often stripped down and honest, with a focus on storytelling.

I’m not trying to be perfect — just real. If someone out there feels a little less alone because of something I made, then it’s all worth it.”
