My Time
Winter Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah!
In a life of dreams
I sense reality
By living your fantasy
Not much time left for me

Well I'm know it's true
When I'm looking at you
Trapped in someone else's mind
How could I be so blind?

The eyes of a heart see right through
I'm a lonely man who can't take anymore from you

It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind
Its my time
My time to leave you
Behind

You say I can do
What you want me to, whoa
Say you'll stay for a time
At least until your mine

It's so deceiving
I feel the pain increasing, whoa
Get another lover's game
Don't you feel any shame?

The eyes of a heart see right through
I'm a lonely man who can't take anymore from you

It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind
It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind

It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind
It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind

Eyes of a heart see right through
I'm a lonely man who can't take anymore from you

It's my time
It's my time
My time to leave you
It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind
It's my time
My time to leave you
Behind

It's my time, my time




Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah yeah
It's my time

Overall Meaning

Winter Rose's song My Time is about a man who has realized that he has been living someone else's fantasy and not his own reality. He feels trapped and deceived by his lover, and the pain is becoming unbearable. He is aware that his time is running out, that he cannot waste any more of his life on this falsehood. The lyrics are about his determination to take back control of his life and start living his own dreams.


The opening verse sets the scene for the song by establishing the contrast between dreams and reality. The singer is aware that he has been living in a dream world and now needs to face reality. He is also aware that his time is running out, and he needs to take action before it's too late. The second verse highlights the singer's realization that he has been living someone else's life and not his own. He feels trapped and deceived by his lover, and this realization has caused him pain.


The chorus drives home the message of the song: it's time for the singer to leave his lover behind and start living his own life. He wants to take back control and live on his own terms. The repetition of the phrase "my time" emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The final verse reinforces this determination by emphasizing the singer's resoluteness to move forward and let go of the past.

I love all the rare songs you have been uploading. Well maybe not rare but it's much more convenient having them all on this account!

Riccardo Rubis Passoni

At 1.25× speed it sounds a lot like a new-wave song

José Silva

this is oddly similar to sera el amor by cristian castro

So Bach is apparently on this album, but where does he actually sing? Every song has LaBrie up front.

Berserk13

That’s richard chycki. He’s the lead guitarist and other main lyricist for Winter Rose.

@Berserk13 That explains a lot. But who's the guy on the back cover next to LaBrie?

Berserk13

Bach left the band before they recorded the album. James actually helped write most of the albums songs too.
