Everyone Gets Left Behind
Nostalgic Reflections: Embracing Growth and Loss in 'Everyone Gets Left Behind'
Lyrics
Everyone Gets Left Behind
Everyone experiences abandonment or being left behind at some point.
Remember how it felt when we were little?
Recalling the emotions from childhood.
We swore that we would never grow up.
We vowed to resist growing up.
Till we learned that the worst of the world, is in people we love.
Realizing that sometimes the worst aspects of the world are found in the people we care about.
It got cold in our hearts,
Emotional detachment sets in.
But our body was kind.
Physical condition remains intact despite emotional coldness.
So we drank and raised hell and found something to fuck to survive.
Seeking solace in vices and destructive behaviors for survival.
Sometimes we're drunker than a little,
Experiencing extreme drunkenness but avoiding vomiting.
And I swear I don't have to throw up
Highlighting memorable times, even when they were unpleasant, with loved ones.
The best times are all of the worst with the people we love
Acceptance and rationalization of these moments in the heart, enduring pain for the night.
It made sense in our hearts,
Enduring hardship and pain but believing in survival.
And we bleed for the night.
Regardless of morning feelings, the resilience to endure prevails.
No matter how we feel in the morning,
Occasionally being in a leading role in life, sometimes in the middle.
We know we'll survive.
Ultimately, everyone will face being abandoned or left behind at some point.
Sometimes we're the leader,
Feeling a diminished passion or enthusiasm with age.
Some we're in the middle
Perceiving time as something to pass rather than experience.
But someday everyone gets left behind.
Expressing dissatisfaction and boredom with life.
Now I'm older and the fire feels so little
Similar to previous lines, acknowledging being in different positions in life.
And time became something to kill.
Realization that everyone will eventually face abandonment or being left behind.
I must have died and gone to heaven,
An exaggerated expression of boredom with life's current state.
Cause this is boring as hell.
Reiteration of experiencing different roles in life but ultimately facing abandonment.
Sometimes we're the leader,
Expressing the monotony and dissatisfaction with life's current state.
Some we're in the middle
Reaffirmation that everyone will eventually experience being left behind.
But someday everyone gets left behind.
Reiteration of the universal truth that everyone will face abandonment or being left behind.
