Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's what I expect from my life
It's like a wire
That holds me back down to the ground
Oh, I hear you say
That is the way of the world
No, hear what I say
Higher
I've set my limits and bounds
There's a fire
It's burning so hot in my head
Oh, I hear you say
That is the way of the world
No, hear what I say
I want to do so much in my way
We got
(A little time) to build up your lives
(A little time) to make up our minds
(A little time) to fill up our dreams
(A little time) time
Time
Time
Time
Time, time
(A little time) to build up your lives
(A little time) to make up our minds
(A little time) to fill up our dreams
(A little time) time
(A little time) to build up your lives
(A little time) to make up our minds
(A little time) to fill up our dreams
(A little time) time
(A little time) to build up your lives
(A little time) to make up our minds
(A little time) to fill up our dreams
(A little time) time
(A little time) to build up your lives
(A little time) to make up our minds
(A little time) to fill up our dreams
(A little time) time
The lyrics to Helloween's song "A Little Time" are an anthem for living life to the fullest and pursuing one's dreams despite obstacles. The opening lines express a desire for something greater, something beyond the mundane routine of everyday living. The metaphor of a wire holding one back to the ground suggests that there are forces preventing the singer from soaring to great heights. This could be interpreted as society's expectations or self-imposed limitations.
Despite pushback from others who claim "that is the way of the world," the singer stands firm in their determination to live life on their own terms. The repetition of the word "Higher" and the mention of a fire burning in their head convey a sense of passion and ambition that cannot be extinguished. The chorus highlights the limited time we have to achieve our goals, urging the listener to take action before it's too late.
Overall, "A Little Time" is a motivational song that encourages us to pursue our dreams, push boundaries and not be held back by limitations or other people's expectations.

I have high expectations for my life
It's what I expect from my life
I have expectations for my life
It's like a wire
It feels like a wire holding me back
That holds me back down to the ground
It's holding me back from achieving my goals
Oh, I hear you say
I understand what you're saying
That is the way of the world
That's how things are in the world
No, hear what I say
But listen to what I have to say
I want to do so much in my way
I want to achieve my goals in my own way

It's like a wire
That holds me back down to the ground
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say

There's a fire
It's burning so hot in my head
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I wanna do so much in my way"
We got a little time to build up your lives
A little time to make up our minds
A little time to fill up our dreams
A little time, time
Time...
A little time to build up your lives
A little time to make up our minds
A little time to fill up our dreams
A little time, time
