The Time Has Come
Jason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my soul and spirit dead
Killing everything in me
What is one used to be free
Now to drive away the pain
I'll destroy all I disdain
I'll become what I despise
(Don't ever back down)
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So now I come for you
Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out whoever runs
Or has stolen away my life
But I've already said
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So I come for you
Ahhh
You trip on everything
I'll take your tired breath
I can't feel anything
I live to see you to your death
A new heart with me
As might be just as quick
Through your tortured expense (?)
'Cause I'll never back down
Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end time has come
So now I come for you
(Don't back down)
I'll drive you down
I'll beat you to the ground
My end time has come
So now I come for you
Don't back down!
The lyrics of "The Time Has Come" by Jason describe the torment of a person who has lost everything and has become consumed by pain and anger. The song expresses the idea that when someone loses their sense of worth, they may become obsessed with destroying others as a form of revenge. The verse "Took from me all that I had, with my soul and spirit dead, killing everything in me, what is once used to be free" illustrates the feeling of hopelessness that the singer in the song experiences. Losing all that once made him feel alive has turned him into a shell of his former self. He now sees the world as a dark and unforgiving place.
The chorus of the song represents a call to action. The singer refuses to back down and seeks to destroy everyone who has wronged him. The line "I'll become what I despise, living someone else's life" shows how the character has decided to take on the persona of his tormentors as a way to overcome the pain of his loss.
The bridge of the song portrays the character as ruthless and unyielding. The statement "I'll take your tired breath, I can't feel anything. I live to see you to your death" portrays the character as determined to destroy anyone who opposes him, regardless of the cost. The singer's obsession with obtaining revenge has consumed him, and he is willing to sacrifice his own well-being to achieve his goal.
Overall, "The Time Has Come" suggests that extreme emotional pain can lead some people down a path of revenge and destruction. However, the song does not advocate for this type of behavior, but rather serves as a warning of the dangers of losing oneself to rage and hatred.

Took from me all that I had
Everything I once had is gone
With my soul and spirit dead
I feel empty inside, no passion or drive
Killing everything in me
Something inside is destroying me
What is one used to be free
I miss the feeling of being free
Now to drive away the pain
To escape the pain, I'll do something drastic
I'll destroy all I disdain
I'll get rid of everything I hate
I'll become what I despise
I'll turn into what I hate
Living someone else's life
I'll live a life I don't really want
Don't ever back down
I won't give up
Don't ever turn around
I won't look back
My end time has come
I'm willing to die for this cause
So now I come for you
I'm coming after you
Now obsession rules my mind
I'm completely consumed by my mission
This commotion makes me blind
I'm so focused I can't see anything else
Searching out whoever runs
I'm looking for anyone who's in my way
Or has stolen away my life
I blame someone for taking away my happiness
You trip on everything
You're clumsy and weak
I'll take your tired breath
I'll defeat you and leave you breathless
I can't feel anything
I'm so consumed by my mission, I feel nothing else
I live to see you to your death
I want to see you die
A new heart with me
I have a new attitude
As might be just as quick
I can change again at any moment
Through your tortured expense (?)
I'll hurt you physically or emotionally
I'll drive you down
I'll defeat you
I'll beat you to the ground
I'll defeat you completely
