Lyrics of Th!s t!m3 by North West
[Intro: Social Repose & North West]
But it was not your fault but mine, yeah
And it was your heart on the line, woah
I really fu*ked it up this time
Didn’t I, my dear? (ノースちゃん)
[Chorus: North West]
Didn’t I, my dear? Welcome to your nightmare (What?)
No one by my side, but I got these bands right here (Uh-huh)
I got no fear, kick it into high gear, yeah
They know I’m ahead of my time by light years (Come on, huh)
Didn’t I, my dear? Welcome to your nightmare (It’s true)
No one by my side, but I got these bands right here (Uh-huh)
I got no fear, kick it into high gear
They know I’m ahead of my time by light years
[Verse: North West]
They got a lot to say, I don’t need that (What?)
Everybody eats, I don’t care ’bout the feedback (What?)
I ain’t into games, by my wrist playing freeze tag, yeah
Too much ice, got me asking where my ski’s at
They hear the name, they don’t hear what I’m saying, yeah
They want the fame, but you know I ain’t playing (What?)
They see the chain, they don’t see my heart fading (Huh?)
It’s only me and the bands are generating, yeah
[Chorus: North West]
Didn’t I, my dear? Welcome to your nightmare
No one by my side, but I got these bands right here (What?)
I got no fear, kick it into high gear, yeah
They know I’m ahead of my time by light years (Huh)
Didn’t I, my dear? Welcome to your nightmare
No one by my side, but I got these bands right here (What?)
I got no fear, kick it into high gear, yeah
They know I’m ahead of my time by light years
[Outro: Social Repose]
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fu*ked it up this time
Didn’t I, my dear?
Meaning of Th!s t!m3 Lyrics
Intro: Social Repose & North West Meaning:
This part shows a feeling of regret and personal responsibility after hurting someone close. The speaker accepts that the situation went wrong because of their own actions, not the other person’s. There is a strong sense of guilt, especially about putting someone’s emotions at risk. It feels like an honest moment where they are looking back and realizing the pain they caused in the relationship.
Chorus: North West Meaning:
Here, the mood shifts between confidence and emotional emptiness. The speaker talks about being alone but still having money and success around them, using it as a way to cope. Even with fearlessness and ambition, there is a darker side where the situation feels like a personal nightmare. They also express feeling ahead of others in life, but that does not remove the loneliness or emotional weight they carry.
Verse: North West Meaning:
This section focuses more on fame, public attention, and emotional distance. The speaker ignores criticism and outside opinions, showing they are not affected by what others say. Wealth and luxury are highlighted, but they do not bring real happiness. People focus on the image and success, but miss the emotional struggle underneath. There is also a feeling that despite all the attention, the speaker feels misunderstood and somewhat empty inside, relying more on money and status than real connection.
Chorus: North West Meaning:
In this repetition, the contrast between confidence and loneliness becomes even clearer. The speaker continues to act fearless and driven, using success as motivation, yet still feels isolated. The idea of being in a difficult emotional situation returns strongly, showing that achievements do not fix inner pain. There is also a repeated sense of being different or ahead in life, but it comes with emotional distance from others.
Outro: Social Repose Meaning:
The final part returns fully to regret and reflection. The speaker accepts full responsibility for hurting someone they cared about. There is a clear feeling of emotional damage caused by their own choices. It closes on a tone of sadness and self-awareness, focusing on how actions affected another person’s heart and how that mistake cannot be ignored.
