Lyrics
Sometimes the life we choose
Sometimes, we make choices in life.
Just like a bottomless pit
These choices can feel bottomless or endless.
Sometimes we play with dynamite
At times, we engage in risky behavior like playing with dynamite.
The fuse already lit
The danger is already present, and consequences are imminent.
Sometimes we soar like an eagle
We may experience moments of success and achievement.
Try to fly like a bird
We attempt to achieve goals, but it's not always easy.
Sometimes we scream for help
Despite our struggles, we sometimes cry out for help.
Still can't be heard
However, our pleas may go unnoticed or unanswered.
What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard
Actions and experiences are distinct and have consequences.
Done is done in this big ol' world
Events are irreversible in this vast world.
One thing I know is life has shown
The speaker has learned from life.
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
The speaker advises not to disturb situations that are best left alone.
Don't try and go backwards
Don't attempt to revisit the past.
The hands been already dealt
Dealing with the consequences of past actions is unavoidable.
Don't try and laugh at the same old jokes
Don't mock or trivialize past pain.
Pain that's already felt (already been felt)
Pain that has already been experienced shouldn't be belittled.
Don't try and drive with one eye closed
Don't take unnecessary risks or operate with impaired judgment.
One tire in the ditch
Metaphorically, don't end up in a precarious situation.
Walk around with your head in the sand
Ignoring problems won't change the harsh reality.
Saying life ain't nothing but a bitch
Rejecting life's challenges and hardships is futile.
What's seen is seen, and what's heard is heard
Reiterating the consequences of actions and words.
Done is done in this great big world
Irreversible events are part of this immense world.
One thing I know is life has shown (one thing I know)
Life's lessons have taught the speaker.
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Emphasizing the importance of leaving certain things undisturbed.
What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard (heard is heard)
Repeating the theme of consequences and irreversible actions.
Done in this big ol' world
Actions have consequences in this vast world.
One thing I know is life has shown
Life's experiences shape one's understanding.
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Reiterating the advice to leave certain matters alone.
Sleeping dogs best left alone
Repeating the idea of leaving undisturbed situations alone.
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
Fulfilling the needs of both the pure and impure.
Clean and the unclean
Repeating the notion of addressing the requirements of all.
I'm planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen
Planting the seeds of the known and unknown.
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
Addressing the needs of both the virtuous and less virtuous.
Heard is heard
Reiterating the impact of what is heard.
I'm planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen
Continuing the theme of sowing the seeds of the visible and invisible.
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
Addressing the needs of both the pure and impure once more.
Then what's heard is heard
Reaffirming the influence of what is heard.
