Times
K & Saly feat. Mary Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)

Because time is not on our side (on our side)

The end is coming, stop your running
I'm telling you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them
Something cast a spell up on their minds
And they always wanna condemn

If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)

While your judging me you should look around
And you'll see how people going down
Some of them are killed over a dime
Now tell me do we really have time
To continue with this madness
Cause I'm sick and tired of this
Trying to crush my world with jealousy
And I'm about to catch a fit

If I have my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)

You're deceiving
What's the meaning
Of you're retrieving
The enemy's greeting
We all are leaving someday but
We don't know how we are going
Please believe me when I tell you
That time is not really on our side

If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)

If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)

(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)

Line by Line Meaning

If I had my way
If I could control everything

Life would be just fine
Everything would be perfect

But the world is too much
Reality is overwhelming

And it makes me cry
Causes emotional distress

Sometimes I feel like leaving
Wanting to run away from it all

But I must be wise
Making sensible decisions

Because time is not on our side (on our side)
Limited time to live

(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Reminder that time is limited

Because time is not on our side (on our side)
Limited time to live

The end is coming, stop your running
Life will end eventually, stop avoiding it

I'm telling you this is the truth
The reality of life is harsh

You can talk about what you read about
Gossip and rumors are pointless

Everything is on the news
Negative events are widespread

People nowadays so shady
Distrustful and untrustworthy

Now what is wrong with them
Questioning the motives of people

Something cast a spell up on their minds
Influences have changed their way of thinking

And they always wanna condemn
Quick to judge and criticize

While your judging me you should look around
People should focus on themselves

And you'll see how people going down
People are struggling and suffering

Some of them are killed over a dime
Violence and greed are rampant

Now tell me do we really have time
Questioning if there is time for positive change

To continue with this madness
The chaos and negativity must stop

Cause I'm sick and tired of this
Fed up with the negativity and suffering

Trying to crush my world with jealousy
Envy and jealousy are destructive

And I'm about to catch a fit
About to lose control of emotions

You're deceiving
Being dishonest

What's the meaning
Questioning the motive

Of you're retrieving
The purpose of reclaiming something

The enemy's greeting
Hostile actions from adversaries

We all are leaving someday but
Everyone will eventually die

We don't know how we are going
Uncertainty about the future

Please believe me when I tell you
Advice from one person to another

That time is not really on our side
The limited time we have in life
