You've Had Your Run
Life's Final Gamble: Reflections on 'You've Had Your Run'
Lyrics
The cards are dealt, the bids are in
The cards have been dealt, and the bets have been made.
The faces, poker straight
The expressions on people's faces are serious and unreadable, similar to a poker game where players maintain a neutral expression.
The air is full of smoke and sweat
The atmosphere is tense, filled with smoke and the smell of sweat.
The men are full of hate
The individuals involved are harboring strong feelings of hostility or anger.
Rest your tired bones, my friend
Encouraging someone to relax and take a break, implying a challenging situation.
The game is nearly done
The game or challenge is reaching its conclusion.
However much you might regret
Despite any remorse, reflection, or disappointment, one cannot change the past.
In life, you've had your run
In life, one has experienced their share of experiences and opportunities.
Start your engines, gentlemen
An invitation or command to initiate action quickly.
There's not much time to wait
There's limited time to delay or procrastinate.
Remember there's no going back
Emphasizing that certain actions or decisions are irreversible once undertaken.
Once we open up the gate
Opening up a pathway or opportunity with consequences that cannot be undone.
Rest your tired bones, my friend
A repetition of the encouragement to take a break and rest in the midst of a concluding situation.
The game is nearly done
Reiteration that the current challenge or game is coming to an end.
However much you might regret
Regardless of any remorse or sorrow, the past cannot be changed.
In life, you've had your run
Reflection on the fact that one has had their share of experiences and opportunities in life.
The stakes are high, the moon is up
The risks are significant, the night is advancing, and there's a sense of indulgence in alcohol.
The drinks are flowing free
Liberal consumption of drinks in the context of a wager or gamble.
They've bet on all the horses
All possible bets or decisions have been made, and now there's only anticipation.
Now they can only wait and see
Waiting to see the outcomes of the choices made, akin to waiting for the result of a horse race.
Rest your tired bones, my friend
A repetition of advising someone to take a break as the situation concludes.
The game is nearly done
Reiteration that the ongoing challenge or game is reaching its end.
However much you might regret
Irrespective of any regret, one cannot alter the course of events.
In life, you've had your run
A reaffirmation that in the journey of life, one has had their share of experiences.
Yes, in life, you've had your run
A conclusive statement emphasizing that one's life journey has reached its endpoint.
