This Time
Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And breathing in the life
That's breathed from out the maker of the day
We see...the marred intentions all around us fall...
To pools of wings that never fly
So as we promise to redeem the lazing losses of the day...
We only pray that this time we'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around
This time...dreams we'll realize
And who were you to wonder why
For I could place a million faces on the shoulders of my pain...
And I do
But time continues on the broken road...
And treasures wait for those who find
Among the thistles grow the promises unending souls desire...
And thoughts that maybe this time...
We'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around
This time...dreams we'll realize
Dark memories surrounding...will offer only fruits of darkness
Into this daze we're thrown...but not to drown
This time we'll see it turn around...we'll see it turn around
This time dreams we'll realize
The lyrics to Matthew's song "This Time" evoke a sense of hope and determination to make the most of each day despite the challenges and setbacks we may encounter. The song begins by acknowledging the passage of time and the fleeting nature of each moment, leading into a reflection on the beauty and significance of life itself. The phrase "breathing in the life" suggests a recognition of the inherent value and power of existence, and implies a responsibility to make the most of it.
The lyrics then turn to the struggle to overcome the obstacles and difficulties that can make it hard to appreciate the true beauty of life. The phrase "marred intentions" suggests a sense of disappointment or frustration with life, and the image of wings that never fly implies a sense of stagnation and unfulfilled potential. However, despite these challenges, the lyrics express a determination to "redeem the lazing losses of the day" and to see things "turn around" in a positive direction.
The final verses of the song offer a sense of perspective and hope, acknowledging that while we may face dark memories and difficult circumstances, there are always promises and dreams waiting to be realized. The overall message of the song seems to be one of resilience and optimism, encouraging listeners to embrace the potential of each day and to never give up on the pursuit of their dreams.

Lyrics
Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little row boat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn't want no one to hold you
What does that mean?
And you said
Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
You're on the road and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You looked at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast?
And she said
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
work me over
(Never let another girl like you) drag me under
(If I meet another girl like you) I will tell her
(Never want another girl like you) have to say, oh
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh no, I got to keep on moving...
