It's Time
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
Cause after all
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
That I'm never changing who I am?
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
The path that 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
Now don't you understand
That 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
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
This road never looked so lonely,
This house doesn't burn down 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
That 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
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
The lyrics to Glee Cast's song It's Time speaks about accepting oneself and moving forward to achieve your dreams. The song starts with a question from one person to another, regarding the exhaustion from trying and failing, and finally realizing that it's time to pick oneself up from rock bottom and start building again, holding nothing back. The artist then expresses his desire to never disappoint those he cares about and to remain true to himself, never changing who he is. The line, "this city never sleeps at night" could be interpreted as the people around him never stop hustling and pursuing their dreams, and neither should he.
The second verse talks about someone who has given up on their aspirations and has veered off from the road to success. The artist is left to sell the idea of getting back on track and pursuing their dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem. "Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check" means giving up materialistic things to prioritize achieving goals. The pre-chorus and chorus reiterate his previously stated message of never changing who he is, growing a little bit, but remaining true to himself.

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 “life”.
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 – BORN AGAIN – 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 not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her 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
It’s 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
