My Time
Crystal Waters/Dutch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long time since I got along fine
(Fine fine fine)
Been a long time since I got along fine
(Fine fine fine)

Been a long time
Since I got along fine
Since I felt my own rhythm
Running down my spine
No more funky situations
That's been keeping people sane
Every second every minute
Every second every minute
Every second every minute
Every second (sec sec sec sec)

Been a long time since I got along fine
(Fine fine fine)
Been a long time since I got along fine
(Fine fine fine)
Been a long time
Since I got along fine
Since I felt my own rhythm
Running down my spine
No more funky situations
That's been keeping people sane
Every second every minute
Every second every minute
Every second (sec sec sec sec)





Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crystal Waters/Dutch's song My Time describe the feeling of being disconnected from oneself and the world, and the journey to rediscovering one's rhythm and finding a sense of joy and contentment. The repetition of the line "Been a long time" emphasizes the length of time that has passed since the singer has felt truly happy and in tune with their own needs and desires. The use of the word "fine" also adds a layer of meaning, suggesting that the singer is not just looking to be content, but to truly thrive.


The line "No more funky situations that's been keeping people sane" is a reference to the ways in which people often use external factors to distract themselves from their own unhappiness. The singer is acknowledging that they have been using these "funky situations" themselves, but are now ready to let them go and start living life on their own terms. The repetition of the phrase "Every second every minute" adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics, conveying the idea that the singer is determined to make the most of their time and find happiness and fulfillment.


Overall, the lyrics to My Time are a powerful message of self-discovery and the importance of staying true to oneself. The song encourages listeners to re-examine their lives and figure out what they truly want and need, rather than just going along with the status quo.
