Sign of the times
The Belle Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I realize that nothing is new
Lying in my bed, thinking of you
I realize, nothing is new
You say you love me, But want success
I say you're lying, nothing has changed
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
We're strong in bed,You're weak in love
You give me nothing, More than a shove
I walk alone now, thinking of you
I realize now, nothing is new
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
Why do we go on with this useless love-affair? But it seems to me that you don't really care
I realize now, nothing is new
Time to walk my life without you
I sit alone now, wondering about you
I'm living my life, what do you do?
You say you want me, but need success
I don't want your love, boy, want nothing less
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times
Time to be alone
This is the sign of the times
Piece of more to come
The Belle Stars' "Sign of the Times" is a song about the confusing nature of love and how it often gets caught up in societal expectations and personal success. The opening lines "As I lie here, thinking of you / I realize that nothing is new" set the tone for the rest of the song, which is an exploration of the cyclical nature of love and relationships. The lyrics highlight the disconnect between two people who are unable to connect emotionally, despite being physically close.
The lyrics explore the conflict that arises when one person wants success and the other wants love. The line "You say you love me, but want success / I say you're lying, nothing has changed" emphasizes the deep-seated frustration and confusion present in the relationship. The chorus, "This is the sign of the times / Piece of more to come / This is the sign of the times / Time to be alone," emphasizes the temporal nature of relationships and the inevitability of moving on.
