Time to Begin
States Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So give it a chance and see if you know what I mean.
Lights are making plans to cover up.
Turn around and walk away.
I know we can make it through,
Make it back to the town in the sky
And now it's time to begin.
Give it away, don't forget we're all safe
And now it's right in the end.
Now I'll hold my mouth to keep from saying what I really think.
All of us spent too much time here listening in.
Lights are making plans to cover up.
Turn around and walk away.
I know we can make it through,
Make it back to the town in the sky
We've waited our whole lives,
And now it's time to begin.
Ladders are lining along,
So what are you so worried about?
Just try and pretend you'll go.
Try to pretend.
Lights are making plans to cover up all of you.
Turn around and walk away.
I know we can make it through,
Make it back to the town in the sky
We've waited our whole lives,
And now it's time to begin
Give it away, don't forget we're all safe
And now it's right in the end.
The town in the sky
We've waited our whole lives,
And now it's time to begin
Give it away, don't forget we're all safe
And now it's right in the end.
The lyrics of States’ song "Time to Begin" have a lot of depth and can be interpreted in a variety of ways. The opening line "I don't really want to know if this isn't how it seems" suggests that the singer might be afraid to face reality and could be unsure about their current situation. However, they still want to give their circumstances a chance and see if things work out. The phrase "Lights are making plans to cover up" could mean that the singer feels like external forces are trying to hide something from them or that something is being kept hidden in general.
As the song continues, there's a repeated phrase "Make it back to the town in the sky, we've waited our whole lives and now it's time to begin" which could represent a sense of longing for a place or time that can never really be reached. It could also symbolize a desire for the future and a fresh start. The line "Ladders are lining along, so what are you so worried about?" could be an invitation to take a risk and climb higher towards one's goals. All this is summed up with the phrase "give it away, don't forget we're all safe and now it's right in the end", which could mean that it's essential to let go of fear and trust that everything will work out in the end.

Just the greatest band ever. It still hurts SO MUCH that they're gone. I miss them so. This is the first song I was hooked on. It's amazing. Just listen to Mindy's voice, ugh, incredible.
