Everybody's Got To Learn
Life's Lessons Unveiled: First Aid Kit's Profound Insights
Lyrics
You're gonna take every chance that is given to you
You should embrace every opportunity that comes your way
I believe in you
The speaker expresses belief and confidence in the listener
You're gonna see this through
Encouragement to persist and complete a task or journey
You're gonna break your little heart in two
There will be emotional pain, a metaphorical breaking of the heart
And it's gonna bend but heal with time
Despite challenges, emotional wounds will heal over time
There'll be dancing on tables
Anticipation of joyous moments, celebration
There'll be tears on the phone
Expectation of emotional moments, possibly sadness
There'll be nights that you'll regret, babe
Forewarning of future regrets
There'll be days you'll feel all alone
There will be times of loneliness
But you're not alone
Assurance that the listener is not truly alone
The blues and the bliss
Reference to both sad and happy experiences
You'll hit and you'll miss
Successes and failures will be part of life
Let the waves come crashing in
Encouragement to face challenges, using ocean waves metaphorically
You'll be soaked to the skin
Immersing oneself in experiences, possibly difficult ones
No matter how, I'll try and try
A commitment to helping and supporting through difficult times
To ease all your pain
Attempting to alleviate emotional pain
You have to feel it all the same
Acknowledging the inevitability of feeling both joy and sorrow
Everybody's gotta learn
Highlighting the universal necessity of learning
Everybody's gotta learn their own lesson
Reiteration of the importance of individual learning experiences
You're gonna tell me how much you hate me someday
Expectation of future conflict or disagreement
And I'll watch as the world
Observing as the listener faces challenges in life
Leads you astray
Anticipating the listener straying from the right path
You're gonna leave me and I won't stand in your way
Acceptance of separation without interference
And it's gonna hurt but I'll deal in time
Acknowledging the pain of separation that will heal over time
There'll be kissing strangers
Expectation of romantic or intimate encounters with strangers
There'll be missing home
Acknowledging moments of homesickness
There'll be days that you'll forget, babe
Anticipation of forgettable days
There'll be nights you'll feel all alone
Forewarning of lonely nights
But you're not alone
Reassurance that the listener is not truly alone
The blues and the bliss
Reference to both sad and happy experiences
You'll hit and you'll miss
Successes and failures will be part of life
Let the waves come crashing in
Encouragement to face challenges, using ocean waves metaphorically
You'll be soaked to the skin
Immersing oneself in experiences, possibly difficult ones
No matter how, I'll try and try
A commitment to helping and supporting through difficult times
To ease all your pain
Attempting to alleviate emotional pain
You have to feel it all the same
Acknowledging the inevitability of feeling both joy and sorrow
Everybody's gotta learn (everybody's gotta learn)
Emphasizing the universal necessity of learning
Everybody's gotta learn (everybody's gotta learn)
Reiteration of the importance of individual learning experiences
Everybody's gotta learn
Highlighting the universal necessity of learning
Everybody's gotta learn their own lesson
Reiteration of the importance of individual learning experiences
