Only Time
SO-Project Lyrics

Only time will tell the truth
The true outcome or reality can only be determined over a period of time.

I'm living proof of what could happen to a man
I am a living example of the potential consequences a person may face.

When he decides to stand strong
When someone chooses to remain resilient and steadfast in their beliefs or actions.

Some of them swim, some of them drown in their sorrows
Certain individuals are able to cope with their difficulties, while others succumb to their problems.

We're living to die and I'll die to live again tomorrow
Life is fragile and fleeting, and yet I am willing to face death in order to embrace another chance at living.

But let me tell you about the time I was just a teen
Allow me to recount a past experience when I was simply a teenager.

Yas & Bobby you said it was just a dream
You, Yas and Bobby, dismissed my aspirations as mere illusions or fantasies.

My life's a circus I serve no purpose
My existence feels chaotic and aimless, lacking a clear direction or significance.

Now when you hear my name you get nervous
Upon hearing my name, you experience a sense of unease or anxiety.

You see it wasn't just a fantasy
It was not merely an idealized or imagined scenario.

Cause music is my life and I cherish it like family
Music is an integral part of my existence, and I hold it dear to my heart, akin to the bonds of family.

So now I'm chasing dreams, facing obstacles
Presently, I am actively pursuing my aspirations while encountering various challenges and hurdles.

Racing against the clock like it was impossible
Engaging in an intense race against time, as if the achievement of my goals is insurmountable.

Somebody's watching over me like a guardian angel
There is a force or entity guiding and protecting me, akin to a benevolent celestial being.

I'm on the outside watching my life untangle
I find myself observing from a distant vantage point as my life unravels or becomes untangled.

Watching my life climb to new heights
Witnessing my existence ascend to unprecedented levels or achievements.

Still waiting for the day I see my name in lights
Anticipating the moment when my name is prominently displayed or recognized for my accomplishments.

Tell 'em once tell 'em twice
Emphasize or convey a message repetitively and assertively.

Some go up, some go down and some never fell
Individuals experience varying trajectories in life, with some succeeding, others failing, and some consistently staying stable.

Win or lose make a move, if you got the guts
Regardless of the outcome, take action and demonstrate courage, especially if you possess the audacity.

So why's everybody always screaming life sucks
Why do people frequently express discontent or dissatisfaction with life?

Only if I knew what made you hopeless
If only I understood the reasons behind your feelings of despair or hopelessness.

When time stands still I just sit back and focus
During stagnant or stagnant moments, I take the opportunity to relax and concentrate on my objectives.

I hold a mic on stage, I hold a pen to the page
I possess a microphone on stage, symbolizing my musical performances, and a pen poised to write on paper, symbolizing my lyrics.

And then I write like I was trapped in a cage
Subsequently, I express myself through writing as if I were confined or restricted within a metaphorical prison.

But wait a minute cause it's not the end
However, pause for a moment, as this is not the final conclusion or resolution.

I call few people enemies and fewer people friends
I label only a small number of individuals as adversaries, and even fewer as genuine allies or companions.

And a lot of people like to think they were down from the start
Many individuals prefer to believe that they were supportive or loyal from the very beginning.

You played your games you broke my heart
You engaged in manipulative actions or behaviors, resulting in the shattering of my emotions.

You broke my heart into pieces
You caused significant emotional pain and devastation, completely fracturing my heart.

You showed me who the beast is
Your actions unveiled your true, malevolent nature or character.

Yeah I trust you about as far as my hand reaches
I have an extremely limited level of faith or confidence in you, similar to the reach of my outstretched hand.

Sticking to me like leeches and holding me tight
Clinging to me relentlessly, much like bloodsucking leeches, and maintaining a firm grip.

I went from deep sleep to sleepless nights
I transitioned from a state of tranquility and restful slumber to experiencing countless nights of insomnia.

I can't take it, I got to make it my passion
I cannot tolerate or endure this situation any longer, thus I must turn my passion into a driving force for change.

Dedicated to all the ones who were laughing
Devoted to those who mocked or ridiculed me in the past.

Take these words home and think it through
Reflect upon and deeply ponder over the significance of these words in the comfort of your own dwelling.

Cause the next song I write might be about you
Because it is entirely possible that the upcoming song I compose will revolve around your actions or influence.

Only time will tell why people try and drag you down
The true motivations behind individuals' attempts to obstruct or undermine your progress can only be revealed as time passes.

They never make a noise and they never make a sound
These individuals operate stealthily, never creating any significant disturbance or noise.

Only time will tell if these people really want you
The ultimate truth regarding whether these individuals genuinely desire your presence or success will only unfold over time.

Maybe one day it'll come back to haunt you
Perhaps in the future, the consequences of these individuals' actions will return to afflict or torment them.

Only time will tell what's the price for being famous
The eventual cost or consequences of achieving fame can only be determined as time elapses.

Some die with a name, some die nameless
Certain individuals perish with their names renowned and celebrated, while others pass away in obscurity or anonymity.

Only time will tell when you make a mistake
The precise moment of realization or revelation, following one's error or misjudgment, will only become evident over time.

Hold on to your life before it's too late
Clutch onto the existence you possess, as the opportunity to do so may dissipate if not seized promptly.
