This Time
P.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or are we tired of looking?
Searching, for more than eyes can see
For something to believe in
Slipped away, fell away, tried to play yourself
No turning back, all alone
And there's nobody else
Who even knows I'm missing
I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love
And nothing ever changes
Waiting, gets harder every time
I don't know how to stay still
And nothing more left to lose
Throw it all away
May be the last chance I get to see your face
I can't afford to leave here
I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love
I and I won't run this time
I can't believe the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
I need to know so I'll be waiting
This time for love
I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love
I and I won't run this time
I can't believe the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
I and I won't run this time
This time from love
In this song, P.O.D. talks about the struggle of trying to find the right path in life. The opening lines “Is this where we need to be?” and “Or are we tired of looking?” suggest that the singer is questioning their current situation and wondering if they are on the right track. The line “searching, for more than eyes can see, for something to believe in” implies that the singer is looking for a deeper meaning or purpose in life. The phrase “slipped away, fell away, tried to play yourself” may suggest that the singer has struggled in the past and made some bad decisions. Despite this, they are determined not to repeat their mistakes, as shown in the lines “I and I won’t run this time” and “Wanting more has got me waiting, this time for love”.
The song also touches on the theme of love, with lines such as “May be the last chance I get to see your face, I can’t afford to leave here” suggesting that the singer is afraid of losing someone they care about. The repeated refrain of “This time for love” may indicate that the singer has previously been burned by love or has made mistakes in relationships and is determined not to let that happen again.
Overall, “This Time” is a song about self-reflection, growth, and determination. It’s about recognizing mistakes and trying to do better in the future, whether it’s in relationships or just in life in general.

Are we frustrated with searching for something deeper?
Searching, for more than eyes can see
Looking for something that is beyond what is visible
For something to believe in
Seeking a sense of purpose or hope
Slipped away, fell away, tried to play yourself
Failed in attempts to live up to expectations or be someone else
No turning back, all alone
Feeling trapped and isolated, unable to go back or find support
And there's nobody else
Feeling abandoned or unsupported
Who even knows I'm missing
Feeling unnoticed or unimportant
I and I won't run this time
I will not back down or give up this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
The potential rewards outweigh the risks involved

Desiring something better but needing to be patient

This time, we are motivated by love
And nothing ever changes
Feeling stuck in a rut or unchanging situation
Waiting, gets harder every time
The more we wait, the more difficult it becomes
I don't know how to stay still
Struggling with the patience required to wait for change
And nothing more left to lose
Having already lost everything else, with nothing more to give
Throw it all away
Giving up on everything and risking everything
May be the last chance I get to see your face
Recognizing the potential gravity of the situation
I can't afford to leave here
Unable to escape the situation or environment
I need to know so I'll be waiting
Desperately seeking answers and willing to wait until they arrive
This time from love
Making the choice to not run away from love this time

Hi!
As I have understood so is P.O.D a "christian band", right?
I know there is a lot of symbolism out there, not only in music but everywhere. Sort of to mock God or to just confirm that satan is the prince of "this world" until the final day when Jesus comes back. Anyway...
As a "Christian" and a believer in J.C., I found it interesting (without judging) to see, what I have understood it to be; an occult sign together with P.O.D., in their videos or elsewhere. Can any body plz explain? Here below is the explanation of the symbol to begin with. Plz analyse yourselves.
"The Triquetra is an ancient “Triple-Goddess” symbol, of triangulate form, made popular recently by the TV show "CHARMED." The Triquetra, (from a Latin word meaning "three cornered") is a disguised interlocked trio of sixes and a graphic form of 666. It is Celtic and symbolises amongst other things, the triple goddess of Wicca (three interlocked vesica Pisces together). Commonly used for centuries in Catholic liturgical iconography, it has recently found it's way as the official logo of the New King James Bible. A typical representation of its corrupt content – no doubt!
It will be observed that there are 60 degrees in each corner of an equilateral triangle. Each angle, therefore, is the equivalent of the Heb. -Chaldee Samech – S; symbol of the devil and the serpent. We also observe that the Heb-Chaldee Vav is a V and 6 and that the Greek S - Stigma is the symbol for 6. Some secret societies frequently place SSS in each corner of a triangle. Sorath, is spelt in Hebrew: Samech, Vau, Resh , Tau - having the numerical value 60 + 6 + 200 + 400 = 666. The Sun-Demon, Sorath, is the inspirer of black magic."
