Lyrics of You’re Right, It’s Time by Morrissey
I sent some roses to those who were so proud of day
I saw a great upsurge in who is popped by a metal sky
In search of answers so much older than any guy
I want to be dead when it is my time to die
You’re right, it’s time
You’re right, it’s time
I saw an old man’s reflection in the mirror eye
In shame in darkness so sad with a sun and birds and skies
In search of answers so much older than any guy
All good things told me what men must do
I want to fight it, too I want to fight for you
You’re right, it’s time
You’re right, it’s time
You’re right, it’s time
You’re right, it’s time
Meaning of You’re Right, It’s Time Lyrics
In the beginning, he talks about offering small gestures of kindness to people who seem confident and full of life. At the same time, he notices how harsh and mechanical the world feels, like something cold hanging over everyone. He sounds confused and restless, searching for truths that feel ancient and bigger than any one person. There’s a quiet acceptance in his thoughts about death, almost as if he just wants things to happen naturally when the moment truly comes, without drama or delay.
When he repeats that it’s time, it feels like he’s admitting something important to himself. Maybe it’s about growing older, facing reality, or letting go of illusions. There’s a sense of surrender, but not complete defeat.
Later, seeing an older version of himself in the mirror brings shame and sadness. Even though the world outside is bright and alive, he feels heavy inside. Still, he talks about doing what is expected and even wanting to resist. Deep down, he wants to stand up and fight, especially for someone he cares about deeply.
