No Time to Cry
Andiroo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Except for here on the road
We’re playing all of these shows
But we still do not grow
I’m gonna put on smile
And imma keep writing flows
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
So goodnight, goodbyeI guess we’ll never fly
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
And I will never get the answer
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry
It’s seems like everyday I have to ask myself who am I?
What kinda guy do I write for myself inside these lines?
Claiming east side to pines, Colorado is mine
But that’s as far as I’ll get, why do I take the time to write
But tonight I’m taking off in a flight
To realize I am blind to my stats that I find
I gotta focus on college and in a decade or two
I’ll regret ever taking a gap year to do what I do
What am I gonna do if I be coming up, I’m wasting time
Writing writtens, and spitting tickets, driven reckless insisting cliques don’t exist
But I’m pissed that I ain’t famous yet
I cannot blame it on anyone, I’m in charge of my net worth
I met her and that threw me off it did hurt
But can I cry about it I just had to do research
To learn my purpose, surrounded by serpents
I’m not gonna eat it, leave the forbidden fruit to rot
I don’t have nowhere to go
Except for here on the road
We’re playing all of these shows
But we still do not grow
I’m gonna put on smile
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
So goodnight, goodbye
I guess we’ll never fly
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
And I will never get the answer
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry
I wake up, I get food, I dress up in my room
Gotta walk to my job, and what shoes do I choose?
It doesn’t matter people can never step into mine (mine)
It doesn’t matter people can never relate to life
But in time I will find how to cope with my mind
I gotta be careful because I don’t know how to carefully sign
To a label, the fables placed on the table
Mind is not stable, I’d rather just stay home
And pray I don’t fail cause I’m able
And that would be ungrateful, yeah but it ain’t my fault
Because I know nobody tells the truth how my music’s hot
They’re just my friends and my buddies
But I guess they give me money
They stream and come to my shows
But outside I have nobody
But trust me, I’m chilling back and I’m with ya
Because we all have our roadblocks, it’s hard to be richer
Take a look at the bigger picture, the path is the best part
And the rest’s art the power who we are, we go hard
I don’t have nowhere to go
Except for here on the road
We’re playing all of these shows
But we still do not grow
I’m gonna put on smile
And imma keep writing flows
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
So goodnight, goodbye
I guess we’ll never fly
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
And I will never get the answer
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry
We ain’t got no time to cry right now
We’re coming in for the kill right now
Cause if we never succeed, we’ll forget what we need
And we’ll give up for greed right now
We ain’t got no time to cry right now
We’re coming up for the kill right now
Cause if we never succeed, we’ll forget what we need
And we’ll give up for greed right now
I don’t have nowhere to go
Except for here on the road
We’re playing all of these shows
But we still do not grow
I’m gonna put on smile
And imma keep writing flows
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
So goodnight, goodbye
I guess we’ll never fly
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
And I will never get the answer
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry
I don’t have nowhere to go
Except for here on the road
We’re playing all of these shows
But we still do not grow
I’m gonna put on smile
And imma keep writing flows
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
So goodnight, goodbye
I guess we’ll never fly
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
And I will never get the answer
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry

Despite this, the artist puts on a brave face, continuing to write and perform until they physically can't anymore, as expressed in the line "Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords."
The lyrics touch on the artist's self-doubt and questioning their identity, wondering who they are and who they are writing for. They express a desire for recognition and fame, feeling frustrated that their hard work hasn't paid off yet.

Line by Line Meaning
I don’t have nowhere to go
I feel lost and have no direction in life
Except for here on the road
I find solace and purpose in traveling and performing
We’re playing all of these shows
We are constantly performing and working hard
But we still do not grow
Despite our efforts, we are not progressing or achieving success
I’m gonna put on smile
I will pretend to be happy and optimistic
And imma keep writing flows
I will continue to write and create music
Until the pen breaks, cutting off my vocal chords
I will keep going until I physically cannot continue
So goodnight, goodbye
I am saying farewell to my dreams and aspirations
I guess we’ll never fly
I doubt we will ever achieve success or reach our goals
It ain’t surprising cause I always ask why
I constantly question why we are not successful
And I will never get the answer
I will never figure out why we are not succeeding
But I guess I know that I’ll always try
Despite the uncertainty, I will never stop trying
Until the sun goes down, we ain’t got no time to cry
We are too busy working and striving to waste time on sadness or despair
It’s seems like everyday I have to ask myself who am I?
I constantly question and struggle with my identity
What kinda guy do I write for myself inside these lines?
I question who my music represents and what purpose it serves
Claiming east side to pines, Colorado is mine
I assert my connection to a particular place
But that’s as far as I’ll get, why do I take the time to write
I don't believe my music will take me beyond my current situation
But tonight I’m taking off in a flight
In this moment, I am escaping and freeing myself from my doubts
To realize I am blind to my stats that I find
I am unaware of my own achievements and successes
I gotta focus on college and in a decade or two
I need to prioritize my education and long-term future
I’ll regret ever taking a gap year to do what I do
I will feel remorse for dedicating time to my music instead of my education
What am I gonna do if I be coming up, I’m wasting time
I question what I will do if I am becoming successful, but feel I am wasting my time
Writing writtens, and spitting tickets, driven reckless insisting cliques don’t exist
I am focused on writing lyrics and performing, disregarding social groups or affiliations
But I’m pissed that I ain’t famous yet
I am frustrated that I have not achieved fame despite my efforts
I cannot blame it on anyone, I’m in charge of my net worth
I take responsibility for my own financial success or failure
I met her and that threw me off it did hurt
Meeting someone special disrupted my focus and caused emotional pain
But can I cry about it I just had to do research
I cannot dwell on my emotions, I must find a way to move forward
To learn my purpose, surrounded by serpents
I seek to understand my true purpose while dealing with deceitful people
I’m not gonna eat it, leave the forbidden fruit to rot
I will resist the temptation and negative influences around me
We ain’t got no time to cry right now
We are too busy and focused to waste time on tears
We’re coming in for the kill right now
We are determined to achieve success and make a breakthrough
Cause if we never succeed, we’ll forget what we need
If we don't achieve our goals, we may lose sight of what truly matters
And we’ll give up for greed right now
We may be tempted to abandon our passions and principles for financial gain

Found you through Ren, you're criminally under the radar, but I guess the good thing about that, is you haven't sold your soul to the cabal for fame & fortune.

@Quantum_Reality116
This song is really really good. Some real nice video transitions like the car to the next scene. I would work on your angles with certain scene choices so visually its more appealing. Distance for some scenes was further then needed. Zooming in and angling the camera from a ground up angle works well when dancing
@itsandiroo
This was definitely an older video haha, my videographer actually did this vid for free since it was his very first music video shoot EVER, but he’s much better now! Appreciate the love! ❤️
