This Is Our Time
The Blackout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is our time, this is our night, this is where we take our stand.
Heads held high we defy everything that you demand.
Don't try to fake your way again, we can see through your disguise.
Don't try to snake away again, we will find out where you hide.

If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.
They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
So say, no not today, no not today.

This is our fight, this is our right, this is where wake ourselves,
To the truth, and remove the grip that you once held.

Sell up, sell out to scrape your way ahead.
Get up, get out and pay your way again.
Put up, put out to raise you from the dead.
Sell up, sell out, now we're seeing fucking red.

If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.
They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
So say, no not today, no not today.

We won't take one more betrayal,
They line their hands with blood and sweat of you and I.

If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.




They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
So say, no not today, no not today.

Overall Meaning

The Blackout's song "This Is Our Time" is a rousing call to action for listeners to stand up and fight against those who seek to deceive and oppress them. The chorus declares that this is the moment to take a stand, and that they will not be fooled or intimidated by those in power. The lyrics also touch on the frustration of broken promises and the disparity between those in power and the working class.


The first verse emphasizes the idea of defiance, with the band proclaiming that they will not be swayed by those who would try to trick or evade them. Through this language, the song communicates a sense of pride in one's own ability to discern truth from falsehood, and a defiance of those who try to manipulate others.


The second verse, however, offers a more practical message about resisting oppressive systems. It points out that selling out or going along with the status quo is not a valid way forward, and that meaningful change can only come from the people rising up and reclaiming their power. The lyrics here encourage the listener to take action, to put themselves on the line, to fight back against those who would seek to maintain the current state of affairs.


Overall, "This Is Our Time" is a call to action and a declaration of defiance, urging listeners to stand up for what they believe in, and to refuse to be manipulated or intimidated by those in power.
