Time to Wonder
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've got time to wait
And we wait until it's too late
We always move in seconds in a world of hours and days
We've got bones and blood
Is this all what we've got
I thought there was a brain but maybe I just thought in vain

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die

Realities and dreams
Reality is not what it seems
It's not the way we want it it's just the way it gotta be
We've got love and hate
But we can't estimate
What's the right solution to kill the illusion of this world

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die
And this is not the time to wonder
'cause this is just a time to fear
Don't worry about the meaning don't worry 'bout the world
It's the question how to see clear

That's the time
That's the time
That's the time
Oh yes that's the time

We've got time to wait
And we wait until it's too late
We always move in seconds in a world of hours and days
We've got bones and blood
Is this all what we've got
I thought there was a brain but maybe I just thought in vain

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die
And this is not the time to wonder
'cause this is just a time to fear
Don't worry about the meaning don't worry 'bout the world
It's the question how to see clear

That's the time, oh, oh
That's the time, oh, oh

Go

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die
And this is not the time to wonder
'cause this is just a time to fear
Don't worry about the meaning don't worry 'bout the world
It's the question how to see clear

Oh this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die





That's the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics are a reflection of the fast-paced nature of modern life and the tendency for humans to prioritize short-term gratification over long-term planning. The lines "We always move in seconds in a world of hours and days" and "We've got love and hate but we can't estimate what's the right solution to kill the illusion of this world" emphasize the lack of perspective and foresight that characterizes our society. The chorus line "And this is not the time to wonder, 'cause this is just a time to fear" suggests that people are too preoccupied with survival and practical concerns to ponder existential questions.


The lyrics contrast reality and dreams, suggesting that the former is often unsatisfying and inescapable. The line "Reality is not what it seems, it's not the way we want it it's just the way it gotta be" implies that humans are powerless to change their circumstances. The call to action in the chorus, "don't worry about the meaning, don't worry 'bout the world, it's the question how to see clear," encourages listeners to focus on gaining clarity and perspective rather than worrying about abstract concepts like meaning and purpose.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and encourage listeners to reflect on the priorities and values that guide their lives.



Line by Line Meaning

We've got time to wait
We have the luxury of waiting for things to happen


And we wait until it's too late
We procrastinate until it's too late to act


We always move in seconds in a world of hours and days
We are too focused on the present and don't plan for the future


We've got bones and blood
We are physical beings with limitations


Is this all what we've got
Is this all there is to life?


I thought there was a brain but maybe I just thought in vain
We have the ability to think but we don't always use it


And this is not the time to wonder
Now is not the time to be curious


And this is not the time to cry
Now is not the time to be sad or emotional


And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
Now is not the time to be complacent while there are battles to be fought


And this is not the time to die
Now is not the time to give up or accept defeat


Reality is not what it seems
The world is not always what it appears to be


It's not the way we want it it's just the way it gotta be
We can't always control our circumstances


We've got love and hate
We experience a range of emotions


But we can't estimate
We can't predict or measure


What's the right solution to kill the illusion of this world
We don't know how to solve the problems of the world


This is just a time to fear
This is a scary time


Don't worry about the meaning don't worry 'bout the world
Don't stress about the bigger picture


It's the question how to see clear
The real question is how to gain clarity


That's the time
The time to take action is now


Oh yes that's the time
There's no better time than now


Go
Get moving, take action

❤ Time to Wonder ❤

We′ve got time to wait
And we wait until it's too late
We always move in seconds in a world of hours and days
We′ve got bones and blood
Is this all what we've got
I thought there was a brain but maybe I just thought in vain

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die

Realities and dreams
Reality is not what it seems
It's not the way we want it it′s just the way it gotta be
We′ve got love and hate
But we can't estimate
What′s the right solution to kill the illusion of this world



And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die
And this is not the time to wonder
'Cause this is just a time to fear
Don′t worry about the meaning don't worry ′bout the world
It's the question how to see clear

That's the time
That′s the time

And this is not the time to wonder
And this is not the time to cry
And this is not the time to sleep while we fight
And this is not the time to die
And this is not the time to wonder
′Cause this is just a time to fear
Don't worry about the meaning don′t worry 'bout the world
It′s the question how to see cleaR

That's the time, oh, oh
That′s the time, oh, oh

That's the time, oh, oh
And this is not the time to die

But that's the time

But that′s the time

Mein absoluter Lieblingssong.
Auch nach so vielen Jahren.
Wenn ich die ersten Töne höre und ich auf der Autobahn fahre,
Lautstärke bis zum Anschlag, mitgrölen und dann Bleifuß.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@madlenjauch9513

Ich schmelz bei diesem Lied. Jeden Ton fühle ich und es bewegt mich wie mein Leben. Wunderbar ❤💯🙏👌🥳

@Mystify70

Mein Gott, wie oft habe ich den Song früher "mitgegröhlt"... . Und jetzt sitze ich hier und kann kaum noch an mich halten. Ich glaube, mich wird dieses Lied niemals loslassen. Ist einer "meiner" Lieder. :)

Time to wonder ist die Hymne, die mich bisher durch die Corona-Zeit getragen hat. Geniales Stück, genialer Text. Und im Moment sieht es so aus, als könnte ich den Song bald auch in meiner Band NIGHTWORK singen. Ein Traum ginge in Erfüllung. Danke, Fury....
