Time To Go
Slot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today is the day to decide what to do.
What they always say, it's always the same.
They act like it's nothing; you won't follow thru.
When they cover and hide-away - sell us a fallacy,
High time to open up our eyes.
Oh, oh, oh:You know it's time that you go.
('cause I said so)
Oh, oh, oh:Don't care where-hit the road.
(Some other road)
Here was once your playground, now it's no more.
(Your world explodes)
Oh, oh, oh:no excuses: just go!
Such a tale to tell, there was a boy that
Once could make all of your dreams just come true
Then the tale had turned, cause he never learned that
What you really wanted was a different hue
Like Alice in Wonderland, this blue pill in my hand
Now I've decided to swallow
Imprisoned inside, they find me.
(It's a bad place to be)
Wounds that are cruel reminders
(Scars that you cannot see)
We once could have been something,
(Break away to get free)
But now all that we'll have is nothing
The lyrics of the song "Time to Go" by Slot describe a moment of clarity and decision-making, as the singer realizes that they have known all along what they needed to do. They urge listeners to open up their eyes and see through the lies and excuses that society offers as selling points for an unsatisfactory existence. The chorus emphasizes that it is time to go, and that there are no more excuses holding the singer (or anyone in the song's intended audience) back from leaving behind a cramped and constricting life. The song also touches on the idea of missed opportunities or unrealized potential, as the singer reflects on a time when they themselves (or someone they knew) could have made their dreams come true but failed to do so.
Overall, the theme of the song seems to be about taking control of one's own life and breaking free from the patterns and expectations that others have set for us. It encourages individuality, self-reflection, and making bold choices, even if that means leaving behind something that may have once been familiar or comforting.
