Navigating Life's Unexpected Turns
Lyrics
I don't feel like doing half the things I do every day
I lack the motivation to do many routine tasks each day.
Saw a shadow of you standing right in my way
I saw a representation of you obstructing my path.
Must've been my mind trying to say
My mind may have been signaling a message.
Don't make the same mistakes you've already made
Learn from past errors; avoid repeating them.
And don't be surprised when they start acting all fake
Expect insincerity when others behave falsely.
And don't be shocked when it blows up in your face
Anticipate consequences when things go wrong unexpectedly.
Cause that's how these things go (ooooh)
Expressing that unfortunate events are part of life.
That's how these things go
Reiteration of the inevitability of life's challenges.
It seemed like you were here and here to stay
Initially, it seemed like your presence was permanent.
And now I walk around in my room and pace
Now, I find myself pacing in my room, suggesting inner turmoil.
Remember when you turned your face
Recalling a moment when you turned away.
I never thought you'd walk away
Expressing surprise at your unexpected departure.
But that's how these things go
Reiterating the inevitability of unpredictable events.
Don't make the same mistakes you've already made
Advice to avoid repeating known mistakes.
And don't be surprised when they start acting all fake
Caution against being surprised by fake behaviors.
And don't be shocked when it blows up in your face
Warning about potential consequences in difficult situations.
Cause that's how these things go
Restating the notion that life includes challenging moments.
That's how these things go
Emphasizing the inevitability of life's ups and downs.
And I don't really know
Expressing uncertainty about a situation.
Why I don't know this yet
Reflecting on a lack of understanding or knowledge.
But it feels like I keep messing up
Acknowledging a pattern of making mistakes.
Don't make the same mistakes you've already made
Reiteration of the advice to avoid repeating mistakes.
And don't be surprised when they start acting all fake
Caution against being surprised by insincere actions.
And don't be shocked when it blows up in your face
Warning about potential consequences in difficult situations.
Cause that's how these things go
Restating the inevitability of life's challenges.
So don't make the same mistakes you've already made and
Reiterating the advice to learn from past mistakes.
Don't be surprised when they start acting all fake
Caution against being surprised by fake behaviors.
And don't be shocked when it blows up in your face
Warning about potential consequences in difficult situations.
Cause that's how these things go
Emphasizing the inevitability of life's ups and downs.
That's how these things go
Concluding with a reaffirmation of life's unpredictable nature.
