This Time
Saint Caine Lyrics

The lyrics of Saint Caine's song "This Time" suggest a conversation between two people, one of whom is struggling with dark thoughts and potentially violent tendencies. The first verse implies that the person has "lost their soul" and feels that others are standing in their way. The second line, "What's the first thing on your mind?" suggests that the other person is concerned about what the first person is planning to do. The request to "tell me you're the killing kind" is a disturbing implication that the first person may be considering murder. The repetition of the phrase "lose your mind, losing control" implies feelings of desperation and the possibility of a destructive outburst.

The chorus of the song strips away the specifics of the situation and focuses on the idea that losing one's way can lead to dire consequences. The lines "if you lose your way you won't make it home, that's fine, let it go" suggest that the person has reached a point of no return and is considering giving in to their darker impulses. The repetition of the phrase "just this once let me get this one this time" implies that the person is trying to resist the urge to act on their thoughts, and perhaps asking for help in doing so.

Overall, the lyrics of "This Time" paint a disturbing picture of a person on the brink of doing something dangerous and destructive. The repetitive nature of the song's structure reinforces the idea of someone trapped in a cycle of dark thoughts and impulses, desperately trying to break free.
