This Time's For Real
Ill Niño Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you tell me all these lies?
I just want to live my life
I don't want to leave my dreams behind
Tell me
Why am I only getting older?
My patience getting shorter
I'm running out of time
And I hope that I get what I wanted

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

Why do you make me feel denied?
Always pushing me aside
You do not decide what's wrong or right
Tell me
Why am I feeling so much pressure?
Am I searching for the answer?
I'm running out of time
And I hope that I get what I wanted

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

This time's for real
Is there anything I wanted?
Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

Is there anything I wanted?




Is there anything I needed?
Anything at all?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ill Niño's song "This Time's For Real" explore themes of frustration and disillusionment with the limitations placed on achieving one's dreams. The opening lines, "Why do you tell me all these lies? I just want to live my life / I don't want to leave my dreams behind," suggest a sense of betrayal or manipulation by an external force that has hindered the singer's aspirations. This is compounded by the lines "Always pushing me aside / You do not decide what's wrong or right," which indicate a lack of agency or control on the part of the singer.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "This time's for real" several times, takes on an almost desperate tone. The questions "Is there anything I wanted? Is there anything I needed? Anything at all?" highlight the uncertainty and doubt that arise when one's dreams or goals seem just out of reach. The lines "Why am I feeling so much pressure? / Am I searching for the answer?" reflect the anxiety and frustration that come with the passage of time, and the fear that one's opportunities to achieve one's dreams may be slipping away.


Overall, "This Time's For Real" is a song about the struggle to stay hopeful and motivated in the face of obstacles and adversity. The lyrics suggest that these obstacles may come from external sources or from within oneself, but either way, the singer is determined to keep pushing forward and achieve their goals.

"Esta vez es verdad"

 ¿Por qué me dices todas estas mentiras?

Sólo quiero vivir mi vida

No quiero dejar mis sueños atrás

Dime

¿Por qué sólo estoy envejeciendo?

Mi paciencia se está acabando

Estoy corriendo fuera de tiempo

Y espero conseguir lo que quiero



Esta vez es verdad

¿Hay algo que haya querido?

¿Hay algo que haya necesitado?

¿Sea lo que sea?



Esta vez es verdad

¿Hay algo que haya querido?

¿Hay algo que haya necesitado?

¿Sea lo que sea?



¿Por qué me haces sentir negado?

Siempre me estás apartando

Tu no decides lo que está mal o bien

Dime

¿Por qué estoy sintiendo tanta presión?

¿Estoy buscando la respuesta?

Estoy corriendo fuera de tiempo

Y espero conseguir lo que quiero.

Make Nu Metal great again!

Jorge House

The Tito TV Show that would be awesome

Bring back the music of the 90s and early to mid-2000s! Nu metal, pop punk, emo, grunge. This was real music, unlike today's soulless edm-autotune-hip-hop crap.
