Time Will Come

Shaman's 'Time Will Come' delves into the inexorable passage of time and the inevitability of change and mortality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their inner turmoil and the facade they maintain to the outside world. The opening lines, 'Times are coming back / When nights are getting longer,' suggest a cyclical nature of time, where periods of darkness and introspection return. The promise read in the mind indicates a personal vow to remain strong, yet the internal struggle is evident as the person 'burns inside, bleeds inside,' revealing a deep-seated pain that remains hidden from others.

The chorus, 'The time will come / When I'll be there forever / To take your soul / And make you part of me,' introduces a personification of time as an inevitable force that will eventually claim everyone. This portrayal of time as a relentless entity that will 'take your soul' underscores the theme of mortality and the transient nature of life. The repetition of 'So, take care' serves as a poignant reminder to be mindful of how one lives their life, as time will ultimately have its way.

The song also explores the concept of self-reflection and the choices one makes in the face of adversity. Lines like 'Should you fall apart? / Should you remain entire?' pose existential questions about resilience and authenticity. The imagery of setting oneself on fire and burning inside symbolizes a cathartic release and a confrontation with one's true self. The recurring theme of internal struggle and the eventual surrender to time's embrace creates a powerful narrative about the human condition and the inevitability of change.
