Dimitrienko wrote "Tickin' Away" about his unforgettable childhood, growing up in Saint Petersburg, Russia in the late 80s and early 90s. It describes his experiences during the summers spent on his mother's farm down by the Gulf of Finland, near the Baltic Sea. "Tickin' Away" is written about a very special place in Dimitrienko's heart which he considers to be his home where he spend most of his time as a kid. It portrays him growing up in what once used to be an electronic free, non-technological, everyday life. The lyrics paint a scenery of a rooster and the storytelling rock near the garden by the old water well. There are mentions of his mother's house full of paraffin lamps and kerosene smells, all before electricity took over. The lyrics also touch on the memories of his grandmother who he loved dearly. In the song, there is a train that is a dream like entity forming a scenario where it never stops and always misses its destination. In the second verse, "Many mournful winters come and go, can't see to get a rise. Take me back to Baltic Sea, fly me towards the skies" is a powerful line that means, just come get me and take me home already. Dimitrienko explains his idea and meaning of time and how it constantly ticks without a pause. How it never slows down and how it knows no second chance. "Tickin' Away" teaches us to not take life for granted because tomorrow is not promised. It shows us to never give up on dreams and on strong beliefs. The song tells us a story of how Dimitrienko was a once a kid from Russia that came to America where he had to start a new life. "Tickin' Away" captures Dimitrienko's transition from a child in Saint Petersburg to a man in USA. The first few lines of the lyrics "Gonna make it back to mama's farm. Gonna beat the sunrise", hint towards Dimitrienko possibly going back home someday to pick up the pieces to his heart, which he left there a long time ago. "Tickin' Away" is a true story of Igor Dimitrienko's life. It is easily one of his most important chapters and a story he wanted everyone to relate to.

‘“Tickin’
