Finally
HOT feat. Julie McKnight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you , you who make worlds collide
Unannounced like a thief in the night.
Where do we go from here,
Time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
When today places its call, and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
And now I know paradise.
Time marches on never ending,
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you , you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
Unannounced like a thief in the night.
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
And now I know paradise.
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
And now I know paradise.
The lyrics of "Finally" by Hot feat. Julie McKnight are about the idea of time and how it passes us by, both in the present and over the course of our lives. The song speaks of dreaming about a better future while acknowledging that we cannot change the past. The message of the song is that we should focus on the present moment and cherish what we have, instead of worrying about the future or dwelling on the past.
The opening lines of the song, "Time marches on never ending / Time keeps its own time," highlight the inevitability of the passing of time, and the fact that we cannot control it. The next lines, "Here we stand at beginning / And then goes passing us by," speak to how we often feel like time is moving too quickly, and that we are not able to fully appreciate the present moment before it is gone.
The chorus of the song, "So tell me how do you do / Finally I meet you / You don't know what I've been through, / Waiting and wondering about you / I had a dream my trip would end at you, / And now I know paradise," speaks of the joy of finally meeting someone or achieving a long-held dream. The verses that follow, with lines like "Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all / If we don't hear the line," emphasize the importance of living in the present moment and making the most of the time we have.
Overall, "Finally" is a song about the passing of time, the importance of living in the present, and the joy of achieving our dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
Time marches on never ending,
Time is an unstoppable force that never stops for anyone.
Time keeps its own time,
Time is independent and has its own pace.
Here we stand at beginning,
We are at the start of a new journey.
And then goes passing us by,
Time flies by quickly.
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I have high hopes for everyone, including myself.
I hope I'm in a better state,
I hope to be in a better place mentally and physically.
When here and now crumbles and falls
When the present situation is no longer sustainable.
And you, you , you who make worlds collide
You have the power to create a great impact and change things.
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
I always believed that you would come into my life unexpectedly.
Unannounced like a thief in the night.
You came into my life like a surprise.
Where do we go from here,
What is the next step in our journey?
Time ain't nothing but time,
Time is simply a finite resource.
I now have no fear of my fears
I have overcome my anxiety and fears.
And no more tears to cry,
I have shed all my tears.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
The future is uncertain and not guaranteed.
If we don't hear the line,
If we do not pay attention to the present moment.
When today places its call,
When the present moment demands our attention.
and morning, morning, morning
Each day is a new beginning.
Won't ever be the same,
Each day is unique and cannot be replicated.
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
I have learned from my past mistakes and will not repeat them.
So tell me how do you do
Introducing oneself to someone new.
Finally I meet you
After waiting for so long, I have finally met you.
You don't know what I've been through,
You do not know the challenges I have faced.
Waiting and wondering about you
Anticipating and imagining all the possibilities of meeting you.
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
Having a strong intuition that this meeting would happen.
And now I know paradise.
Finally being with the person one has been waiting for.

Absolutely! Sending you tons of Love from Washington, D.C.!! I'm here for you and everyone reading this post. We have some deep souls right here. We're connected by the Love of Music! I remember when my Brother first dropped this song. My Brother Sam "The Man" Burns knew this was One of my life anthems. He spoke through his music to everybody! He always knew when someone needed to hear Julie sing! Every time he would play this track it was a different life experience. Putting life into perspective and letting go of what no longer serves you. That's the power of MUSIC. I honor my dance floor time. Dancers have been my lifelong lifelines for 20+ years. I'm humbled and honored to listen to it again in 2021. It still pushes me through, Lisa!! Anyone reading this post know that you are so loved and you're never alone. What makes my heartstrings pull even more so my brother Sam passed away two years ago. DC Family is stronger than ever because Sam taught us well. He taught us how to get through even the toughest battles. Life isn't easy and as long as we are together. Friendship and connection. We can heal and recover. The lyrics have a new meaning new life experience. May music continue to feed your heart, body, mind, and soul. I got your back, Lisa. I was meant to find this thread. Yesterday I dealt with losing my Dad. Sam was always there for me. He was the One I call on. It was my Dad's 11th death anniversary yesterday. I'm so used to going to Eighteenth Street Lounge and being with DC Family. Now I am without Sam and my Dad. I miss them so much it hurts. I played this music and it took on a whole new meaning! I feel loved and comforted. I thought about all the good memories. Music always brings me back to the present Moment. Thank goodness for lyrics! I absolute love this song. I just had to deal with a shitty thread from my old hometown earlier today. I remember Finally. I can exhale again. Closed my eyes and listen. This timeless gem will always feed our Souls. For that I am so grateful and thankful. Love me some Defected Records!! Hit me up and let's dance!!! Much LOVE. Thanks for reading!

It's 2024 and we're still listening this masterpiece. One of the best end of set/night end tunes. Great memories!
@calwalker3511
Unbelievable tune!

I met my daughter's father in 1997. We had an amazing night dancing to this, well I say dancing... π. Of course she wasn't created, not even a thought, but this brings me right back to the night we met and now we have her. She's 21 now. Memories are wonderful, especially when they're good ones.

Such a beautiful story with this song as the backdrop.π

The first time I heard this song was in the early 2000s at Pacha in Ibiza during a Subliminal party. Erik Morillo played this track. The atmosphere was hot, a beautiful girl knew the lyrics of the song by heart and sang it while dancing in a sensual way against me. What a night! What memories!
