In Due Time Lyrics
Pacing aimlessly when my mind is unrest
Unsure of what may come
What have I done to bring this down on me?
Helpless to make this undone
All in due time
See the world through different eyes
All in due time
The shadows will give way to light
How much more can I give of myself?
As these walls close in on me
As I slip down into this despair (to this despair)
There is nothing to attain
What victory (What victory)
When my soul is weak (Is weak)
Where does my help come from?
All in due time
See the world through different eyes
(I see the world through different eyes)
All in due time
The shadows will give way
Give way to light
All that we suffer through
Leads to determination
The trials we all go through
Gives us the strength to carry on
Something within us burns
Desire feeds the will to live
A reason to believe
I will see redemption
All in due time
See the world through different eyes
(I see the world through different eyes)
All in due time
The shadows will give way to light
All in due time
Unsure of what may come
What have I done to bring this down on me?
Helpless to make this undone
See the world through different eyes
All in due time
The shadows will give way to light
As these walls close in on me
As I slip down into this despair (to this despair)
There is nothing to attain
When my soul is weak (Is weak)
Where does my help come from?
See the world through different eyes
(I see the world through different eyes)
All in due time
The shadows will give way
Give way to light
Leads to determination
The trials we all go through
Gives us the strength to carry on
Something within us burns
Desire feeds the will to live
A reason to believe
I will see redemption
See the world through different eyes
(I see the world through different eyes)
All in due time
The shadows will give way to light

This seems to be another limp-wristed, irrational song saying "Sure, things are hard now, but God is surely looking out for me, and I'll be OK in the end, even if it's when I die." with the implied corrolary, "Because you know, lots of people I know will be burning in hell, but I'm saved."
Lines that lead me to believe this are:
When my soul is weak, where does my help come from?
And:
A reason to believe I will see redemption.
Not too many people talk about "souls" and "redemption" without referring--even if obliquely--to spiritual nonsense.
The album KSE II was in my opinion only 'ok'. There were some decent songs but as a whole it just didnt stand out like the ones before. However the new album is amazing and in particular this song. I loved Howard as a singer but i think bringing Jesse back was needed and brought a new freshness to the band.
First heard this song when the video was released and immediately thought "sounding good", but when the chorus hit i swear i got chills. That line 'All In Due Time' and the way Jesse sings it is pure passion and clearly shows that he means what he's singing.
As for meaning.. i think in general its a message of 'theres a light at the end of the tunnel'. I've been able to relate to this in recent months and its all about enduring the bad by knowing that 'in time' the good will come.
Amazing song, amazing album
I think he's very introspective, has realized his mistakes, struggled through pain, battled his spirituality, and is now coming to grips with himself through determination brought on by a higher power guiding him. One of the most positive lyrics in ages, without being "preachy". Truly a great band, the song rips with emotion. The video is superb and spot on by one of the most talented bunch of musicians who take the music and sentiment behind it seriously, but don't take themselves seriously. The new album is textbook for brilliant rock for the new millennium.
Seems like Jesse chose to speak of his constant battle with depression ("my soul is weak"). some lines describe being hopeless and with inner struggle, however you can tell as others have said that he chose to speak as optimist. He write that it's difficult to cop with life, there's "trails" and "walls" that closing on you.
But bottom line, and that is somthing that you can feel throughout the album (for exmaple: strength of the mind), His massage is look for inner strength.
Take this powerful bridge, "suffer - leads to determination Trials- givs us stregnth Desire feeds the will to live"
The chorus - "see the world through different eyes" what i see here is the will to find inner strength to stand against depression so that "shadows will give way to life" And since he recognize that it's a constant struggle - "in due time" meaning when you will find strength to stand against your demons you will "see the world through different eyes".
