It's Time
Darren Criss/Glee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't look back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
I don't ever want to let you down
'Cause after all,
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin
Isn't it
I get a little bit bigger, but then, I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top,
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all,
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin
Isn't it,
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand,
I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin
Isn't it
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
This road never looked so lonely (lonely)
This house doesn't burn down slowly (slowly)
To ashes, to ashes
It's time to begin
Isn't it
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin,
Isn't it
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
(Am, am, am am, am, am, am)
The song "It's Time" by Darren Criss/Glee is about one's personal growth and resilience. It starts with the realization that the person the singer is addressing has hit rock bottom and has to start rebuilding from there. Despite this, the singer is optimistic, stating "it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top." This is a call to action for the person who is struggling to make a fresh start and move forward.
The chorus then comes in, where the singer makes a promise to not let the person they are addressing down and to never change who they are. This is a declaration of loyalty and support for someone going through a tough time. The idea is that the singer knows who they are and they are steadfast in their commitment to the person they are addressing. The final part of the song plays on the idea that every cloud has a silver lining. It suggests that although the road ahead may be difficult and lonesome, it's still time to begin and make something of your life because the one constant is you.

So this is what you meant
I finally understand what you were trying to say all along
When you said that you were spent
When you said you were tired and exhausted
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Now it's time to start from the very beginning
Right to the top
And work your way up to success
Don't look back
Don't dwell on the past
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
Leaving behind previous plans to pursue a new path
I don't ever want to let you down
I never want to disappoint you
I don't ever want to leave this town
I never want to leave this place
'Cause after all
Because in the end
This city never sleeps at night
This city is always alive and active
It's time to begin
It's time to start anew
Isn't it
Don't you think so too?
I get a little bit bigger, but then, I'll admit
I grow, but I still have my flaws
I'm just the same as I was
I'm still the same person I always was
Oh, don't you understand
Can't you see that
I'm never changing who I am
I will always be true to myself
So this is where you fell
This is where you failed
And I am left to sell
And I am left to pick up the pieces
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
The road to success is long and difficult
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check
Giving up materialistic pursuits to focus on personal growth
This road never looked so lonely (lonely)
This path to success can be a lonely journey
This house doesn't burn down slowly (slowly)
Failure is sudden and unexpected
To ashes, to ashes
Everything can come crashing down easily
Now don't you understand
Can't you see that
I'm never changing who I am
I will always be true to myself
(Am, am, am am, am, am, am)

The music and film industries are under the rule of lucifer, who is the master of masonry club.
Think about it, all their HITS are about lust and fornication and being stressed and depressed, wanting to be done by โlifeโ.
None of them has meaning in their music.
Souls are either in the lusting and fornication sin, or depressed that they cannot live like this.
= we praising sins and living in these.
Time is clear to REPENT โ BORN AGAIN โ come out from BABYLON:
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am notย comeย to call the righteous, but sinners toย repentance.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man beย bornย again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must beย bornย again.
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,ย Comeย outย ofย her, myย people, that ye be not partakers ofย herย sins, and that ye receive not ofย herย plagues.

when kurt realizes what blaine's doing... that smile where he hides his face is the most beautiful, adorable thing I've ever seen.
@t.s3994
It is
@effortlesslyaverage7522
It's impressive that the band is just always there and has their stuff put up and knows when it's time for the glee club members to break out into a song
@Jay-uj2er
I think at this point, it's like a sixth sense
@anneperez7733
That's the magic of Glee!
@PossumGod12
The band dudes are psychic
@leeholman3964
Itโs plot magic, I tell ya! Plot magic
@irondragonmaiden
Sue is right, the band are the most important members. They even carry their instruments everywhere just in case there's a random number in the corridors or bleachers
