It's About Time
Nowhere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's a human gremlin hybrid to do
When a terrorist is after you
You can't just run and hide
Wear your truth on the outside
Everyday stands to remind
Of the loss and the pain you fight
But when Dave's on the line
Yup, it's gremlins time
Hell yup, it's gremlins time
Hell yup, it's gremlins time

He didn't kill Gizmo bc he wanted to
He killed Gizmo, so the studio won't sue
He killed him it was easy
Dave always keeps it sleazy
Good God what's Desmond really gunna do
No, seriously what's he gunna do
No way this film is PG
All up on the big screen
I really hope Desmond can pull through

A gremlin-terrorist hybrid is covering everything in goo
Streets are talking, yea they're scheming
He'll need an army to come even
Gremlin time is the only way to set up a crew
Except Sean cuz he dies before act 2
Damn Sean

Now wait a minute let's go back to Sean
Did I tell you he's a human-frog
4'8 to be exact
Can't ride rides at Six Flags
I'm obsessed with the fact that he dies
And he doesn't have a weapon to fight
Dave would eat his ass if they matched in a judo class but he can't cuz, it's gremlins time




Yup, it's gremlins time
Hell yup, it's gremlins time

Overall Meaning

The song seems to be about the chaos and confusion caused by a gremlin-terrorist hybrid that is attacking a city. The singer of the song, who is a human-gremlin hybrid, is being chased by the terrorist and can't run away or hide. Instead, he has to wear his "truth" on the outside, which might be a reference to hiding in plain sight or revealing his identity. The loss and pain he fights every day are likely a result of being different from others and feeling like an outcast. But when Dave is on the line, it's gremlins time, which suggests that the singer is ready to fight back against the terrorist.


The lyrics also reference the 1984 film "Gremlins" and its characters.
