It's Time

LSD's song 'It's Time' delves into the painful realization of a relationship that has run its course. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional neglect and the inevitable decision to move on. The imagery of 'dead roses on Valentine's' and 'rumours lying on grape vines' sets a somber tone, indicating that the love once celebrated has now withered and become tainted by lies. The comparison of love to 'cheap red wine' suggests that what was once intoxicating has now become something of lesser value, leaving the narrator feeling empty and unfulfilled.

The chorus, repeating the lines 'When you don’t love me, when you don't need me, when you don't want me, darlin', it's time,' serves as a powerful mantra of self-realization and acceptance. It underscores the necessity of recognizing when love is no longer reciprocated and the importance of self-worth. The metaphor of words being like bullets and causing frostbite further emphasizes the emotional damage inflicted by the partner's cold and hurtful behavior.

The song also touches on the internal conflict of the narrator, who questions whether they need 'truth or healing' and expresses a desperate need to 'feel needed.' This highlights the struggle between holding on to a toxic relationship for the sake of feeling wanted and the painful but necessary step of letting go. The repeated command to 'get up' signifies a call to action, urging the narrator to rise above the pain and take control of their own happiness. 'It's Time' is a poignant exploration of the end of a relationship, marked by emotional neglect and the journey towards self-empowerment.
