Bad Time Touch
Jan Hegenberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when you wake up it's like they stole your crown
You got your grave in front of your eyes
Your blood runs cold and you see how a little star dies
The guilt in your eyes, the face in the dirt
The little illusion your only light
Know that it won't last forever
It's a bad time touch
Know that it is now or never
When your blame shines thru your thin disguise
And your fame's been broken, would you lie
Just to feel your rights, and stand right tall
Although you know that´s sure you gonna fall
You know, they know that you will never fall
So lift your gloves and like a man you will stand right tall
Yeah, it's a bad time touch
Know that it won't last forever
Just a bad time touch
Know that it is now or never
Yeah, it's a bad time touch
Know that it won't last forever
Just a bad time touch
Know that it is now or never
Yeahyeah!
The song "Bad Time Touch" by Jan Hegenberg takes a closer look at the inner turmoil of a person who is struggling to maintain their position of power and respect. The first verse talks about the illusion of being a king instead of a clown. The idea of being someone of importance is a coveted one, but the reality is different. When one is not able to live up to the expectations placed upon them, it is possible to lose their status and respect. The imagery of having a grave in front of one's eyes is used to show how bleak the situation can feel. The second verse talks about the guilt that one feels when they fail to live up to their own expectations of greatness. The line "the little illusion your only light" shows how even the smallest hope can seem valuable when one is at their lowest.
The pre-chorus talks about how one's actions can reveal their true nature. When one's fame is broken, they may be tempted to lie to protect their reputation. However, the chorus urges the listener to recognize that tough times don't last forever, and it is better to face the challenges head-on than to try to avoid them. The repeated lines "know that it is now or never" emphasize the importance of taking action before it is too late. The final line "lift your gloves and like a man you will stand right tall" implies that it is better to face the music and go down fighting than to run away from the difficulties.
