Drummer's Journey: Navigating Life's Beats and Breaks
Lyrics
At 14 I lost my dad it's true
Reflecting on the loss of the speaker's father at the age of 14.
At 15 I didn't know what to do
Expressing uncertainty and confusion at the age of 15, possibly in response to the loss.
At 16 I learned to drive, 17 just staying alive
Learning to drive at 16, with 17 being a period of survival, navigating challenges.
And I was a drummer in a band that you heard of isn't that the way it goes
Being a drummer in a well-known band, pondering the inevitability of such experiences.
18 I think that's when we met
Presumed meeting with someone important or significant at the age of 18.
19 I wish I could forget
Expressing a desire to forget an event or person at the age of 19.
20 I moved away to say the least I didn't stay
Relocation at 20, emphasizing a significant departure or change.
And I was a drummer in a band that you heard of
Reiteration of being a drummer in a well-known band.
And I wasa drummer in a band that you heard of
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's identity as a drummer in a famous band.
Isn't that the way it goes
Reflecting on the inevitability of life's twists and turns.
If I know you, you'll change your mind, you've been changing all the time
Anticipating someone's tendency to change their mind based on past behavior.
And I was a drummer in a band that you heard of
Reiteration of being a drummer in a well-known band.
And I was a drummer in a band that you heard of
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's role as a drummer in a famous band.
And I was a drummer in a band that you heard of
Emphasizing past involvement as a drummer in a renowned band.
And I was a drummer in a band that just broke up
Reflecting on being part of a band that has recently disbanded.
isn't that the way it
Pondering the inevitability of life's course, introducing a recurring theme.
Isn't that the way it
Repetition, reinforcing the theme of life's inherent unpredictability.
Isn't that the way it goes
Repetition, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life's uncertainties.
