it's time
▲Imagine ▲ Dragons▲ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit, right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the Academy a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes
To ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was




Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons essentially revolves around the theme of fixing what is broken and moving forward. The opening lyrics signal a realization of being exhausted and building up from rock bottom to the top. The singer expresses a desire to move on and leave some negative aspects behind, metaphorically pack his bags, and skip some obligations while recognizing the importance of growth at the same time.


The chorus speaks to a sense of loyalty and belongingness to a place that the singer does not want to leave behind. He expresses his admiration toward the city that never sleeps, setting an ambiance of endless possibilities, dreams, and pursuits. The lyrics emphasize a sense of personal responsibility to oneself and not letting oneself down by sticking to one's identity and accepting oneself. The verses express resilience, determination, and a willingness to overcome any obstacle to pursue a goal.


The last lines convey the pain of feeling alone in navigating one's journey and the risk of losing what one has achieved. The song ends with a resolution to proceed with the same commitment, the same essence, and never changing who one is.


Line by Line Meaning

So this is what you meant
I am starting to comprehend what you were trying to tell me earlier


When you said that you were spent
When you told me you were exhausted or drained


And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit, right to the top
It's time to start anew and rise up from the lowest point to the highest


Don't hold back
Don't hesitate or restrain yourself


Packing my bags and giving the Academy a rain check
I'm getting ready to leave and postponing any formal education for now


I don't ever want to let you down
I never want to disappoint you


I don't ever want to leave this town
I never want to depart from this place


Cause after all
Because ultimately


This city never sleeps at night
This town remains lively regardless of the hour


It's time to begin, isn't it?
Isn't it time to start?


I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I may grow and evolve slightly, but I am aware


I'm just the same as I was
I am fundamentally the same person I've always been


Now don't you understand
Do you comprehend?


I'm never changing who I am
I will always remain true to myself


This road never looked so lonely
I feel particularly isolated on my journey right now


This house doesn't burn down slowly
This situation is not gradually worsening, but rather falling apart suddenly


To ashes
To ruins or destruction


To ashes
To ruins or destruction


It's time to begin, isn't it?
Isn't it time to start?


I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I may grow and evolve slightly, but I am aware


I'm just the same as I was
I am fundamentally the same person I've always been


Now don't you understand
Do you comprehend?


I'm never changing who I am
I will always remain true to myself

(Turn Off The Phone) (Romanized) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mne lyudi govoryat, chto vremya — eto vazhno (Da)
Poproshu u muzha novye chasy (M)
Ya molchu, kogda my stoim u kassy
On ne uslyshit nikogda: «Ne beri» (Ne beri)
Mne nuzhno eto, mne nuzhno to
Mne nuzhno eto, mne nuzhno vsyo (Vsyo)
Milliony baksov — dlya menya eto nichto (Ha-a)
Chto ty tam skazal? Ty voobshche kto?
Ya zarabotala stol'ko babla
Moi vnuki budut nosit' Gucci
Kogda ya prohozhu, vse smotryat na menya (E)
Moj telefon ot lajkov glyuchit
Vizhu na vitrine magazina novyj stuff (Stuff)
Pokupayu vsyo, na chto upadyot vzglyad
Ya sol'yu kesh na karte do nulya (Do nulya)
Potom voz'mu vtoruyu i potrachu do konca



[Pre-Chorus]
Ya otklyuchayu telefon
I ya potrachu millio-o-on
Moj novyj etalon
Eto Louis Vuitto-o-on
Den'gi so vsekh storon (Storon)
Eto moj novyj zako-o-on
My sorim bablom (Ne ya)
My sorim bablo-o-om

[Chorus]
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bab—

[Verse 2]
Ya ne pomnyu imena, lica, nomera
Ya pomnyu tol'ko pin-kod VISA, Master Card (Master Card)
Pohodka ot bedra — eto ya idu v magaz (Eto ya)
Gucci konsul'tant menya uznaet po glazam
Moj vzglyad za menya govorit
Ya potrachu vsyo, a potom sdelayu repit
Moj muzh za menya razrulit (Vsyo)
O-O-On takoj krutoj: on narulil mne bezlimit (Bezlimit)
Eto sladkaya zhizn', kak klubnika v shokolade (Va)
Lyudi govoryat: «Nu skol'ko mozhno tratit'?»
Ne othodya ot kassy, ya govoryu im: «Hvatit» (Stop)
Ne predlagaj mne skidku, ty chto, ne v adekvate?
Odnazhdy ya uekhala tusit' v Turciyu
Poteryala sumku, pasport, da i * s nim
Ya prosypayu zavtrak, ya v all inclusive'e
Ty najdyosh' menya tam, gde igraet muzyka

[Pre-Chorus]
Ya otklyuchayu telefon
I ya potrachu millio-o-on
Moj novyj etalon
Eto Louis Vuitto-o-on
Den'gi so vsekh storon (Storon)
Eto moj novyj zako-o-on
My sorim bablom (Ne ya)
My sorim bablo-o-om

[Chorus]
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
My sorim bablo-o-om
