Amy Dalley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picked a day on the calender
Marked it with a big red star
That's the day I'm over him
That's the day I take back my heart
I don't know if I'm ready
To let him go just yet
And I said I would
There's only five days left
It's time
To find my way
To break these chains
I can't wait
There comes a day
You know you'll be alright
It's time
To face it
It's time
To let it go
This time
It's time for a whole new life
It's time
I'm planning a great big party
To celebrate the end of us
Have a drink of pink champagne
Wash away the damage done
I don't know who's out there
I don't know what my heart will find
I don't know whether I'll love again
But I can't wait to try
It's time
To find my way
To break these chains
I can't wait
There comes a day
You know you'll be alright
It's time
To face it
It's time
To let it go
This time
It's time for a whole new life
It's time
Yeah
Whoo
It's time
To face it
It's time
To let it go
This time
It's time
To find my way
To break these chains
I can't wait
There comes a day
You know you'll be alright
It's time
To face it
It's time
To let it go
This time
It's time for a whole new life
It's time
It's time
The lyrics of Amy Dalley's song "It's Time" suggest that the singer, who has taken enough pain and has had enough of a bad relationship, has decided to move on. The singer marks a day on the calendar, which marks the end of the relationship and the start of the process of recovering from it. She acknowledges that she might not be ready to part ways, but she knows it is essential, and she has to do it. She emphatically states that it's time to find her way, break the chains, and begin the journey of healing. She's excited about the possibilities that exploring new relationships and living freely without any constraints could bring her way. The singer seems to be excited and determined to take the necessary steps to reclaim her life back.
The song's message is clear; it's time to leave behind the past and embrace a new future. The singer is excited but also realistic about what the future holds. The pink champagne and music represent the moment of celebrating moving on and letting go. The way Amy delivers this message adds power to the song's theme, and the music itself carries the listener away with its liberating melody.
