Time Will Tell
宇多田光(UTADA HIKARU) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crying won't change anything
But no one cries with that purpose in mind
I worry and I just can't help it
I just can't control the time
Take off into the blue sky
From this long runway!
Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, it's ok if you don't try so hard
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, there's no hard road to tomorrow
Surely, surely, surely
Even if there's rain, if we fly above the clouds
Always blue sky
Even the sun seems so close
Like you could grab it with your hand
Don't get depressed alone
We just can't control the time
Take off into the blue sky
From this long runway!
Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, now I can't even fool myself with these excuses
Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, so now it's ok to cry if I feel like it
Surely, surely, surely
Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, it's ok if you don't try so hard
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, there's no hard road to tomorrow
Surely, surely, surely
In the first verse of 宇多田光(UTADA HIKARU)'s song Time Will Tell, she expresses the universal advice that we often hear: "crying won't change anything." However, in the next line, she points out that people don't cry with the intent of changing anything too. Crying is just an emotional release that people need to go through, and there is nothing wrong with that. In the second verse, she admits that she worries a lot and can't help feeling out of control with time, which is an inherent fear we all have. However, the chorus reassures her and the listeners that with time, everything will become clear. There is no need to try too hard, and it's okay to cry through the tough times. The ending of the song emphasizes the certainty of time bringing clarity and peace.
The entire song's mood is hopeful despite singing about worries and fear of the future. As the title suggests, Time Will Tell, emphasizes the idea that time is a great healer, and everything will work out eventually, even if it seems impossible at the moment. The lyrics are suitable for anyone who faces fear, uncertainty, or loneliness. Moreover, the song reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and it's okay to cry through the hard times.

泣いたって何も變わらないって言われるけど
울어봤자 아무 것도 변하지 않는다고 하지만
誰だってそんなつもりで泣くんじゃないよね
어느 누구도 그러려고 우는 건 아니지
惱んだって仕方ないよ I just can’t control the time
고민해도 어쩔 수 없어 I just can’t control the time
この長いRunwayから靑空へtake off!
이 긴 Runway에서 파란 하늘로 take off!
Time will tell 時間がたてば分かる
Time will tell 시간이 지나면 알 수 있어

태양은 손에 잡힐 정도로 가깝게 느껴져
ひとりで落ちこまないで We just can’t control the time
혼자서 우울해 하지마 We just can’t control the time
この長いRunwayから靑空へtake off!

@user-dp3ty7xn4k
虽然被告知哭泣是无法改变一切
任谁也不打算在那里情况下哭泣
会烦恼也是无可奈何
I just can't control the time
从这长长的跑道往天空飞去
Time will tell
时间会证明一切
Cry所以不用这麼焦急
Time will tell
时间会证明一切
Cry没有通往明天的捷径
虽说是下雨
如果飞出云端的话
Always blue sky
虽说是太阳
感觉像是可以用手握住
那般地靠近
一个人不要陷入
I just can't control the time
从这长长的跑道往天空飞去
Time will tell
时间会证明一切
Cry现在的辩解
连自己都无法欺骗
Time will tell
时间会证明一切
Cry所以现在想哭就哭吧
