it's time
Madyon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check
I don't ever wanna let you downI don't ever wanna leave this town'
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-checkI don't ever wanna let you downI don't ever wanna leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashesIt's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin, isn't it?




I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I wasDon't you understandThat I'm never changing who I am

Line by Line Meaning

So this is what you meant
I finally understand what you were talking about


When you said that you were spent
When you told me that you were exhausted


And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
It's time to start fresh and work our way up from the lowest point


Right to the top
All the way to the highest point


Don't hold back
Don't hesitate or limit yourself


Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check
I'm leaving and putting my education on hold


I don't ever wanna let you down
I never want to disappoint you


I don't ever wanna leave this town
I never want to leave this place


'Cause after all
Because when it comes down to it


This city never sleeps at night
This city is always awake and bustling


It's time to begin, isn't it?
It's time to start, isn't it?


I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I grow and change, but I'll acknowledge it


I'm just the same as I was
I'm fundamentally the same person I always have been


Now don't you understand
Don't you see that


That I'm never changing who I am
I'll always be true to myself


So this is where you fell
This is where you failed


And I am left to sell
I'm left to pick up the pieces and fix things


The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
The road to success is arduous and full of obstacles


Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check
I'm giving up material possessions and luxury for the time being


This road never looked so lonely
I feel more isolated on this journey than ever before


This house doesn't burn down slowly
This situation isn't getting any better over time


To ashes, to ashes
Everything will eventually fall apart and burn out
