One girl's fortune Is another girl's loss If the price is high well You pay the cost When the ripest fruit is too high to get Honey don't fall down now And break your neck One man's lost Is another man's found If you want things in life You gotta make a sound When you got troubles You gotta see em through With a heavy rain comes rainbows too You gotta change your times Before time change you Who's gonna take your way When you're time is through 24/7 All day all night We gotta pull together Oh, we got to do things right Gotta do em right ya'll Gotta do em right Now an eye of yours And an eye of mine Let's all put in Just a little time Just do it good honey Do your best Don't be taking Nothing less Now some dogs bark Some dogs bite But a little love Can make things right Respect for you And some for me Can make us who We wanna be You gotta change your times Before time change you Who's gonna make your way When you're time is through 24/7 All day all night We gotta pull together Oh, we got to do things right Gotta do em right ya'll Gotta do em right Gotta do it right yeah Head is in my hands And I gave it all I can Gonna get myself back up And tell it to the man We gotta do things right We gotta do things right When the sunlight shines On everyone but you You don't get mad This is what you got to do You gotta do things right We gotta do things right We gotta do it right Before time change you Who's gonna take your way When you're time is through 24/7 All day all night We gotta pull together Oh, we got to do it right Gotta do it right Gotta do it

Meaning of "When You’re Through" by Quantic
The lyrics for "When You're Through" offer a blend of folk wisdom and urgent motivation. It immediately establishes a world where life's gains often come at another's expense, urging listeners to actively pursue their goals. The tone is one of resilient encouragement, emphasizing personal responsibility and collective effort. A core tension in the lyrics lies between acknowledging life's inherent unfairness and the necessity of proactive change. Lines like "One girl's fortune Is another girl's loss" highlight a competitive reality, yet the repeated call to "pull together" shifts the focus to communal strength. This creates a dynamic where individual struggle is recognized, but collective action is presented as the ultimate solution. The craft here is particularly effective in its use of proverbial statements and direct, almost chant-like repetition. Simple, vivid images such as "ripest fruit is too high to get" and "heavy rain comes rainbows too" ground the abstract advice in relatable experiences. This blend of timeless wisdom and insistent, present-tense commands gives the lyrics a compelling, actionable quality. Ultimately, these lyrics resonate because they don't shy away from hardship, even including a moment of personal despair: "Head is in my hands." Yet, this vulnerability quickly gives way to an unwavering resolve to "get myself back up" and "do things right." The insistent, almost mantra-like repetition of this commitment, even when "sunlight shines On everyone but you," creates a powerful and deeply inspiring message of perseverance and shared purpose.
