UZARI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ve been trying for so long
Breaking out through the night
Made me see the bright light
Now I'm willing to fight
And I know that time is on my side
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Hear it like thunder ah-ah
All we′ve got are some days
And I try not to waste
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Beating like thunder in our heads
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah
At the end of your rope
Keep on hoping against the hope
Oh-oh
Time is fading away
So don't you lose a day
We can do what we say
Time is like thunder
Time is like thunder
Time is like thunder (I know, you know)
I don't want to wait!
Ooh, like thunder, like thunder
I know, you know
Don′t you lose a day! (ah-ah)
Hear it like thunder ah-ah
Beating like thunder ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Hear it like thunder ah-ah
All we′ve got are some days
And I try not to waste
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Beating like thunder in our heads
Time is like thunder ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah
I don't wanna wait
The lyrics of "Time" by UZARI talks about one's personal journey to find their life purpose and meaning.
The song starts with the singer's search for their place in the world. They have been trying to find where they belong for so long, and they feel like they have been in the darkness, but then they saw the light that made them believe and gives them the courage to fight. They know that there's no shortcut to achieve their goals; it takes time to make things happen, and they're aware that time is on their side.
The lyrics also emphasize that time is precious and fleeting, much like thunder beating in their heads. They try not to waste a single day and strive to achieve what they say they will do. The chorus repeats the analogy of time being like thunder, which makes it more apparent that time is significant and cannot be ignored. The song's message is to remind listeners that the time they have right now is limited and that they should use it wisely to achieve their aspirations.
