I Love the song When My Time Comes by Dawes. I wasn't sure what the song is about but I know it moves me. Here is one person's view from songmeanings.net:
I think this song is about growing up and how we all forlornly escape the present to the future. We have a very structured world with governments, and religions, and ideologies and at first we think that those things will grant us an opportunity to be great. Then we start looking at all the bad things or "side-effects" so to speak in the world and make out our own way towards self-discovery and greatness. And it all results in the futile efforts of finding meaning. So we keep singing about how the future will be better if only to escape the reality that we don't know how that will happen.
The idea of this song is something commonly expressed in books, movies, tv, songs and all types of art but Dawes does it in an incredibly moving and almost heart-wrenching way. Great song. I really dig it. Hope this helped.
I'd like to tell Dawes to consult his Higher Power!!
