Embracing Life's Lessons: "Older" by Damon Downs
Lyrics
Older
Introduction to the theme of aging and the passage of time.
If you wait until tomorrow
Advice to take action now instead of procrastinating.
It might be too late and time will pass you by
Warning about the potential consequences of delaying decisions.
There are better things to ponder
Suggesting that there are more important things to think about.
And in the blink of an eye you ask yourself, oh why?
Highlighting the quick passage of time and the self-reflective questioning that follows.
I might be getting older
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging.
But I’m not wasting time
Asserting a proactive approach to life despite aging.
If you sit back and wonder
Encouraging action instead of passive contemplation.
You might not ever get, a second chance, then you die
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of opportunities and the finality of life.
My thoughts have changed for better
Expressing a positive change in perspective.
Cause’ in the real life, you ask the questions why
Linking personal growth to questioning and understanding life's complexities.
Flipping’ through books over and over
Indicating a search for wisdom and guidance through repeated reading.
I need to find that page that says hey man, it’s gonna be alright
Desire for reassurance and a positive message in life's challenges.
I find I’m painting pictures
Metaphorically representing the creation of experiences and memories.
New colours every day
Expressing a dynamic and evolving approach to life.
So if I’m getting wiser
Associating aging with gaining wisdom and experience.
Maybe I have learned, a better way, to take on life
Suggesting personal growth and a more effective way of facing life's challenges.
Take it on baby, take it before you die
Encouraging action and engagement with life before it ends.
