it's time
Madyon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons are about starting anew, using the singer's past and experiences as a foundation for growth. Specifically, the song addresses the singer's relationship with someone who may have felt let down or hurt by the singer's past actions. The first stanza mentions this person's exhaustion and the singer's desire to make amends and move forward. The second stanza refers to the singer's past struggles and the other person's apparent betrayal, indicating that they are both starting from a place of pain and struggle. However, the singer is resolved to make a change, even if it's difficult. Throughout the song, the singer asserts their identity and intentions, repeating the line "I'm never changing who I am." The ending lines suggest that the journey may not always be easy, but that it is still worth taking: "This road never looked so lonely / This house doesn't burn down slowly / To ashes, to ashes."
Overall, "It's Time" is a powerful message about change and resilience that is relevant to many people, especially those who have experienced personal or relational difficulties. The song is ultimately hopeful, encouraging listeners to gather their strength and start anew, no matter how daunting the task may seem.

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
