Songfacts®:

  • Singer/guitarist Richie Kotzen explained the meaning of this song to Billboard magazine: "Lyrically, 'Time Machine' explores the curse of vices and the desire to look into the past to discover the origin of these vices with the ultimate goal of a cure," he said. "Believing in the notion that many of our bad habits are rooted in past life events."
  • The song's music video was directed by Greg Kaplan (Fall Out Boy's "Dead On Arrival") and features live rehearsal footage shot in Southern California, as well as concert footage shot during the band's sold-out tour of Japan.
