About This Track

'This Time' by Deyaz is an alternative track from the album 'TRANSPARENCY'. The lyrics are a fraught, intimate argument between two people, with one voice trying to work out why the other has gone distant, and confessing fear and loneliness, framed by the refrain “this time”. The speaker admits they have felt shut out, acknowledges a private dread, and then hints at a change in priorities, sounding like a decision to confront the emotional distance rather than accept it.

"This Time" is a track by Deyaz, from the album TRANSPARENCY, released 8th March 2024. The track is 2:59 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Deyaz.

Lyrics

This Time

You've been putting up a wall again
I know that it's me
I ask why you're acting strange
When I know what it could be

You tell me not to be so cold
Honestly, I've been afraid of your ghost
Being the only thing that's inside

But this time, this time
I might put you above myself
Not push away the ones who helped
This time

You got me praying up to Chrises
Reminiscing, thinking of my losses
I don't wanna be the one you're Christ with, mmm

You tell me not to be so cold
Honestly, I've been afraid of your ghost
Being the only thing that's inside

But this time, this time
I might put you above myself
Not push away the ones who helped
This time, hey
But this time, this time
I might put you above myself
Not push away the ones who helped
This time

But this time, this time
I might put you above myself
Not push away the ones who helped
This time
