The Time Is Now
X.E.N.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Appetites reach all time highs
No ones seems to care who dies
Prey on every little thing in sight
To kill or be killed state of mind
Anything to stay alive
Never ever show your terrified

It's a common casualty
To trust in what you see
Saints and scholars
Don't even bother
The bullet in the blood
Came from those you love
Friendly fires
Death by a liar

Dumb, deaf and blind
(Dumb, deaf and blind)
Fall back in line
(Fall back in line)

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire
And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

Focus now on how to gain
Loyalty from enemies
Waiting patiently for when to strike

The bullet in the blood
Came from those you trust
Friendly fires
Death by a liar

Dumb, deaf and blind
(Dumb, deaf and blind)
Fall back in line
(Fall back in line)

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire
And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards always get what they're after
These ravenous bastards

Them vultures swarm in circles like a storm
The carnivores rip into the core
For more and more and more
They rip into the core

Now is the time
To open your eyes
You need it, you want it,
You did it, you got it
So act like you own it this time
The coma of lies
Comfort your mind
Your feeding the fire




And bleeding desire
It's down to the wire this time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in X.E.N.O's song, The Time Is Now, speak to the current state of society. The opening lines describe how people's appetites have reached all-time highs, and no one seems to care about who dies as long as they get what they want. This creates a "kill or be killed" state of mind, where people are willing to do anything to stay alive, and they never show their fear. The song describes how people have lost their trust in what they see, and how even saints and scholars do not bother to help.


The chorus of the song is a call to action. It tells listeners that now is the time to open their eyes and stop being "dumb, deaf, and blind," falling back in line with what society expects of them. The song encourages people to act like they own the world, to stop feeding the "coma of lies," and to focus on gaining loyalty from their enemies. The lyrics describe how people need to be patient, waiting for the right moment to strike.


The final verses of the song speak of the "ravenous bastards" who always get what they're after. These people swarm like vultures, ripping into the core of society for more and more. The song ends with the chorus, reminding listeners that it's down to the wire and that they need to act before it's too late.
