"Grounded for so long, now it’s time for me to fly.."

I was browsing some sites and editing my blog just a few minutes ago when suddenly I heard a song that really made me stop what I'm doing and listen. It's music video came on TV and it's Pia Toscano's new single "This Time". It's a really catchy song, I got LSS easily. Then I clicked a new tab and searched for it, and now I'm listening to it. It's 3 minutes of more than just cool beats and rhyming words; it's a song of self-worth and encouragement.


I love the line "Grounded for so long, now it’s time for me to fly..". I can relate to it now. I have been grounded for so long and I feel like my life is a just a plain routine. Feels like my life is boring, no excitement, no thrill. And personally, it's tiring to do routines. Hopefully this song will keep me going. Thanks Pia Toscano for your beautiful song and those encouraging lyrics! I shall "fly..." this time! :)

This Time

by Pia Toscano

Well I'm mad as hell
I ain't gon' take it no more
My bag is packed up at the back of your door
'Cause I don't know who I am no more
You won the battle but you lost the war
I've been in denial, now I'm living the truth
Been down for a while, now I'm standing up to you

This time, this time I'm gonna do it my away
This time, I'm finding out the hard away
This time, I'm gonna go back to the girl I was on the night you found me
No more, closing back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time, is in time, it's my time
Getting back to the real me

Don't try to stop me with the words you say
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the games you play
I'm gonna free myself, gonna make a change
And like a butterfly, I'mma spread my wings
Been crying for too long, now I'm drying my eyes
Grounded for so long, now it's time for me to fly
