why are rock lyrics so obsessed with the concept of time?

noticed this the other day — so many rock and alt songs are about time passing, running out of time, wanting time to stop, or just being stuck in a moment like its this huge recurring theme across decades. is it just cause its universal or is there something about the way rock riffs and time-based lyrics click together? feels like its everywhere from zeppelin to nirvana to modern stuff. anyone else pick up on this or is it just me overthinking again?
