Time to Get Ill
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it was a big fight
And nobody won
And nobody wants to go alone
So you stayed up all night
And it was a long night
So you wrote a new song
But nobody needs another song
Cause it's all been said
Still you know you're gonna say it one more time
And get it right this time
And you know that it's too late
But you know you gotta say it one more time
To get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
You're coming down hard
You're coming down real hard
And there's nowhere to land
And there's not even place for folks to stand
You're spinning around
You're bringing yourself down
You're singing that song
But nobody needs another song
Cause it's all been said
Still you know you're gonna say it one more time
And get it right this time
And you know that it's too late
But you know you gotta say it one more time
To get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Cause it's all been said
Still you know you're gonna say it one more time
And get it right this time
And you know that it's too late
But you know you gotta say it one more time
To get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
The lyrics of [unknown]'s "All This Time" describe the pain and sorrow of losing someone who was once an essential part of life. The lines "She is just an ordinary girl, but to me, she means the world" portray how deeply important this person was to the singer. The sense of loss is compounded as the singer reflects on how he thought everything was going well, and how he had pictured a future together with this person. The phrase "Flash forward, I'm holding on tight to my pillow when I sleep at night" conveys how the singer is now struggling to find comfort in even the most ordinary things, such as sleep.
The chorus of "All This Time" begs the question of why this person had to leave and shows how the singer is struggling to cope with the reality of their absence. He recalls how they were the "best of each other," and that now he is left with nothing but a hole in his heart. The lyrics "Ever since the day we parted, my bed's been feeling so cold" not only speak to the physical absence of this person, but also to the emotional emptiness resulting from their departure.
In the final stanza, the repetition of the question "why did you have to leave?" finally gives way to an acceptance that the person is gone. The singer reflects on the strength of their connection ("you and I, no need to cry"), and asks if they can't just go back and start again. However, the ultimate realization is that the person has already left and the singer is alone. The lines "Now that you have left me, I've been feeling so alone" express the difficult and painful reality of accepting a new, solitary existence.

She is just an ordinary girl
She may seem ordinary to others, but to me, she is special and valuable.
But to me she means the world

Now I'm all alone and feeling blue
Since she left, I have been sad and depressed, and I have no one to turn to.
I guess she didn't love me too
She may not have felt the same way about me, despite my love and devotion to her.
You came crashing into my life
You appeared suddenly and unexpectedly, and your presence was intense and overwhelming.
I thought one day I'd make you my wife
I envisioned a future with you where we would be married and committed to each other.
It all seemed right
At the time, everything felt perfect and promising, and I had no doubts about our future together.
Kissed you goodnight
I gave you a goodnight kiss as a gesture of my affection and love for you.
Flash forward, I'm holding on tight

To my pillow when I sleep at night
I often find myself alone at night, holding my pillow as if it were you and longing for your return.
I'm missing you
I feel a deep sense of loss and ache for your presence and companionship.
What did I do?
I am confused and wondering what went wrong and caused you to leave me behind.
Why did you have to leave?
I cannot understand why you chose to go and leave me behind in this state of despair and emptiness.
Oh girl, can't you see?
I long for you to understand my pain and sadness, and to come back to me and heal my broken heart.
All of this makes me sad
The memories of us together and the pain of your absence cause me great sadness and heartbreak.
You were the best of me
You brought out the best in me, and made me a better person, and I am grateful for that.
And I were the best of you
Likewise, I hope that I was able to bring out the best in you, and to love and support you in the best way I could.
All of this makes me...
All of the pain and heartbreak I feel is overwhelming and continuous.
When you needed me, I was there
Despite any hardships and challenges we faced, I was always there for you, and ready to support and help you.
Now you leave me, that cannot be fair
It is unfair that after all that we have been through, you chose to leave me and cause me so much pain and sadness.
All I could do
Despite my efforts, I was powerless to keep you by my side and make you stay with me.
Was to love you
But I will always cherish the memories of our love and devotion to each other, and no one can take that away from me.
Can we please go back to the beginning
I would do anything to turn back time and relive our relationship from the very start, and to make everything right again.
Think about it, we could both be winning
I believe that if we were together again, we would both be happy and fulfilled, and we would not need anything else to feel complete.
It's you and I
We belong together, and our love is unique and special, and no one can ever replace it.
No need to cry, oh
Let us not waste any more tears and sadness, and let us come back together and start anew.
You left me brokenhearted
Your leaving broke my heart into a million pieces, and I am still struggling to pick up the pieces and move on.
Left with nothing but a hole in my heart
Your absence has left me with a deep void in my heart and soul, and nothing can fill that void but you.
Ever since the day we parted
From the very moment you left, my life has never been the same, and I long for you every day and night.
My bed's been feeling so cold
Even in the comfort and warmth of my bed, I feel the coldness and emptiness of your absence, and I cannot bear it.
"Like the river flows
Just as the river flows naturally towards the sea,
Surely to the sea
So our lives and destinies are meant to lead us back to each other, and I hope that you realize that and come back to me.
Darling so it goes
We cannot fight against the natural flow of life and love, and we must embrace it and be together once again.
Some things are meant to be"
I believe that our love is meant to be, and that we are meant to be together for eternity.
Now that you have left me
Despite my sadness and heartbreak, I still hold onto hope that you will come back to me, and that we can be together once again.
I've been feeling so alone
In your absence, I feel alone and empty, and I long for your presence and love.
And all of this makes me...
All of these emotions and feelings are overwhelming and continuous, and I cannot escape them.

When my wife and I started dating, years ago, I turned to her and said, "HEY, WHATS THE TIME?!"
Without hesitation, she tilted her head back and yelled, "ITS TIME TO GET ILL!!!"
It was that moment I knew I had to marry her.
