I invision something different when I hear this song. Here's the scenario. There are two friends, one who is perhaps struggling with depression, or is just overall sad. The other friend sees this, "so this is what you meant" "so this is where you fell". He's reminding his sad friend that he cannot remain "at the bottom of the pit" and not to "look back" at what made him so miserable. "Cause after all this city never sleeps at night" he's telling his friend that their little world will never stop running, so don't get left behind in your pit. "It's time to begin isn't it?" His sad friend has finally come to this conclusion and is asking if it is finally time to move on, or atleast start trying. " I get a little bit bigger but then", the sad friend is struggling with an emotional relapse or perhaps an actual drug relapse. "I'm just the same as I was" "I'm never changing who I am" is the sad friend saying that he is still the same person he was before his depression, and he will never change who he is because of it. |

| Regina Spektor – You've Got Time Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
"The animal, the animal" the animal represents you. "Trapped trapped trapped till the cage is full" you're stuck in the same place and position. "And everyone's waiting, waiting on you" everyone is waiting to see what your next move will be. The whole bit about being alone thinking is when you're finally alone and have a moment to reflect on life, recalling all your past. "Think of all the roads, think of all their crossings" think about every path there is in life, think about how you are going to cross them. "Taking steps is easy standing still is hard" no matter how hard the challenge is or how hard it may seem, beginning is easier than standing around waiting. "You've got time" although it may seem like you are running out of time, or crossing that road feels like an eternity, time is on your side. The song has a very depressing yet powerful feel for me. When you feel like your down and out and you've done all you could, defeated and Helpless take a step back and look at your crossings you can get through this you've got time. Very uplifting |
