This Time
Cord Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell
Intentional display a typical conversation
From here
To what u would say of how it was supposed to be
This time

Can't help
Anything I've done this is a constitution

For now
To what you would say of how it was supposed to be
This time

You sank right in my plans
When you said it's over now

Forget
Everything been done time for your next vacation
From here
To what you would say of how is was supposed to be
This time

You sank right in my plans
When you said it's over now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cord's song "This Time" seem to be about a failed relationship where the singer is reflecting on what went wrong. The first two lines "Don't tell, intentional display a typical conversation" could be interpreted as the singer not wanting to hear any excuses or reasons for the break-up, and instead just wants the other person to be honest about what happened. The next line "From here to what you would say of how it was supposed to be, this time" suggests that the relationship was supposed to be different this time around, but it ultimately didn't work out.

The second verse continues this reflection, with the line "Can't help anything I've done, this is a constitution for now" hinting that perhaps the singer made mistakes that led to the relationship's demise. The line "You sank right in my plans when you said it's over now" further emphasizes that the end of the relationship was not what the singer had hoped for.

The final verse "Forget everything been done time for your next vacation, from here to what you would say of how it was supposed to be, this time" suggests that the singer is ready to move on and let go of the past. Overall, the song's lyrics seem to be about acceptance and closure after a relationship has ended.
