The Way We Operate
Navigating Life's Currents: The Way We Operate by Before Their Eyes
Lyrics
Take your time
Encouragement to be patient
Take it slow
Advising to proceed at a relaxed pace
You've got to hold on to what you know
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto one's knowledge or beliefs
Breathe in now and let it go
Instructing to inhale and release, suggesting a need for calmness
If you live too fast you'll find
Warning against living life too quickly
Your whole life has passed you by
Expressing the consequence of a fast-paced life passing by
And my whole world is upside down
Describing a sense of disorientation or chaos in one's world
I need to get my feet back on the ground
Expressing a need to regain stability and grounding
This the way we've learned to operate
Describing a learned way of operating in life
Whoa, whoa
Repetition for emphasis on the learned way of operating
So take your time
Reiteration of taking time
And don't hesitate
Encouraging not to delay or hold back
To let it all out
Suggesting the importance of expressing oneself
All we need is a little direction
Highlighting the need for guidance
A pinch of affection
Stressing the impact of a small amount of affection
Goes a long way in this line
Noting the significance of affection in life's journey
So take your time
Repetition of taking time for emphasis
And take it slow
Reiterating the advice to proceed slowly
We can make it out alive
Expressing optimism about surviving challenges
We get built up
Describing the build-up of challenges like crashing waves
Like crashing tidal waves
Comparing challenges to crashing tidal waves
Against the shore line
Highlighting the danger in facing challenges
We're not safe
Acknowledging the uncertainty but expressing confidence
But we'll be alright
Believing in the ability to overcome challenges
And when we're lost
Acknowledging moments of being lost
We're sure we'll be found
Expressing confidence in finding a way back
We're making our back way around
Describing the process of finding a way around challenges
Now we're homebound
Feeling a sense of returning home
Don't say that this is the end
Rejecting the idea that the current situation is the end
We'll make it
Expressing determination to overcome challenges
Just pray that it all depends
Seeking a positive outcome depending on how challenges are faced
On how we take it
Stressing the role of perspective in facing challenges
This the way we've learned to operate
Reiteration of the learned way of operating
Whoa, whoa
Repetition for emphasis on the learned way of operating
So take your time
Reiteration of taking time for emphasis
And don't hesitate
Encouraging not to delay or hold back
To let it all out
Suggesting the importance of expressing oneself
All we need is a little direction
Highlighting the need for guidance
A pinch of affection
Stressing the impact of a small amount of affection
Goes a long way in this line
Noting the significance of affection in life's journey
So take your time
Repetition of taking time for emphasis
And take it slow
Reiterating the advice to proceed slowly
We can make it out alive
Expressing optimism about surviving challenges
