Cheers to Progress
Embracing Change: Cheers to Life's Unfolding Symphony
Lyrics
I am a little shy at first
I initially feel reserved or hesitant.
For a writer I don’t care much for words
As a writer, I'm not fond of words.
Without actions
Action speaks louder than words.
Too often served as distractions
Distractions often hinder progress.
Hey hand me that packet of matches
Pass me the matches; I'm going to light a cigarette.
I’m gonna light one up
I'm not giving in or giving up.
Im not giving in or giving up
Commitment to perseverance and resilience.
It's a process
Life is a continuous process.
My life is a work progress
My life is a constant state of improvement.
Da doo doo doo doo
Repetitive nonsensical sounds, possibly representing uncertainty or lack of clarity.
Da da da doo doo
-Da doo doo doo doo
-Da da da doo doo doo
-I breath you in just to breathe you out
I engage with you just to distance myself later.
Letting go is what life is all about
Letting go is an essential part of life.
Mamma told me
Wisdom shared by the speaker's mother.
The year she left Tony
Reference to a past event involving someone named Tony.
I'm searching for truth
I am seeking truth.
And I’m falling short
Falling short of finding the truth.
I’m sharp elbows, I’m racing thoughts
Describing oneself as assertive and having racing thoughts.
I see through you
Seeing through someone or something.
Well hey I guess I consumed you too
Realizing that the speaker has influenced or consumed someone.
Da doo doo doo doo
Repetitive nonsensical sounds, possibly representing uncertainty or lack of clarity.
Da da da doo doo
-Da doo doo doo doo
-Da da da doo doo doo
-I get frustrated with my guitar
Feeling frustrated with the limitations of the guitar.
For a while four chords got me pretty far
Previously, four chords were sufficient for progress.
I need more now
Seeking more complexity and depth in life.
I’m aching for new sounds
Yearning for new experiences and sensations.
Hey hand me that packet of matches
Pass me the matches again; I'm lighting another cigarette.
I’m gonna light one up
Reaffirming the refusal to give in or give up.
Gonna take a sip
Taking a sip, possibly metaphorical, from a challenging or tempting situation.
Out of the devil's cup
Celebrating progress with a toast, even in difficult circumstances.
Cheers to progress
Expressing a positive outlook and acknowledgment of advancement.
I’ll shed one tear as the world ends
A hint of melancholy or reflection as the world metaphorically ends.
