I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Oh, sweet morning
Is your head not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times
And your head feels like your body
You mind is close behind
There's a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It's the time of times again
This is the time of times
It's the time of times again
Oh, sweet morning
And your head's not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times
And your head feels like your body
Your mind is close behind
There's a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It's the time of times again
The time of times
Yeah this is the time of times
Is your head not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times
And your head feels like your body
You mind is close behind
There's a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It's the time of times again
This is the time of times
It's the time of times again
Oh, sweet morning
And your head's not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times
And your head feels like your body
Your mind is close behind
There's a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It's the time of times again
The time of times
Yeah this is the time of times

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this song was in Definitely, Maybe. i think it's about being placed in a beautiful situation. but not being ready for it.
This song is about self-renewal and change. He is saying that he is getting himself in order (And your head feels like your body Your mind is close behind).
I think the song is about getting past a mistake or a wrong relationship, "your head feels like your body and your mind is close behind." The "body" represents passion, and the "mind" represents reason. Like the previous guy, I think that the song is about "self-renewal." "The Time of Times" is implying that the future will be brighter now that the song's subject has learned from a mistake or whatever.
I love this song. I heard it in Definitely, Maybe and loved it. It sounds sorta Epic. Like, The Time of Times. It sounds major. I think it's about this moment (whatever moment it may be) and it's the time of times and that you aren't ready for this time, but you go ahead and do it anyway. And the time is beautiful. God, I just love this song. So pretty.
Definitely, Maybe!!!!! gotta love that movie! this song was at the very end...I believe this song is about having that glipse into the future of what may be... it's realizing that one has made a mistake and that one is self renewing or correcting something so that in the future it won't turn out bad, instead turn out what you wanted..having a second chance.it's not something you're ready for but you know you need to be IN the situation now and deal!
