Not Done Yet
Embracing Life's Unpredictable Journey: "Not Done Yet" Reflections
Lyrics
When I was young I thought I knew everything about most everything
As a young person, the speaker believed they knew a lot about most things.
The answers had that ring of easy truth
The speaker found the answers to be easily believable and true.
Tut the older I get the more that I find everything I thought was black and white
With age, the speaker realizes that things they thought were clear-cut are actually complex and undefined.
Was grey and undefined the whole damn time
The speaker reflects on the fact that what seemed straightforward was actually uncertain all along.
Here's to the nights we spent so tired and wrecked, but we're not done yet
Celebration of nights that were exhausting and challenging, but there is still more to come.
Here's to the dreams we had in days long past, but we're not done yet
Acknowledgment of past dreams, implying that despite the passage of time, there are more dreams to pursue.
So where do you go after you know all of the plans you made are grand mistakes
Questioning where to go when plans turn out to be mistakes, and the realization that hindsight often reveals lack of control.
And hindsight always shows that there's no kontrol?
Highlighting the inevitability of mistakes and the absence of control when looking back.
Maybe you smile, sit for a while, thinking of all the places and the faces
Suggesting a moment of reflection, smiling, and contemplating missed opportunities.
You let pass you by, chasing the why
Regret over letting opportunities pass while pursuing the elusive "why" of life.
Here's to the nights we spent so tired and wrecked, but we're not done yet
Celebrating nights of exhaustion and hardship, emphasizing that there is more to experience.
Here's to the dreams we had in days long past, but we're not done yet
Recognition of past dreams and the determination to continue pursuing new ones.
Open your eyes, look at the skies, all of the stars at night are dying light
Encouraging openness to the world, observing the dying light of stars from millions of years ago.
From millions of years ago, and you'll never know
Expressing the mystery of the past and the unknowable nature of certain things.
So why do you think everything needs to be cut and dried and analyzed
Questioning the need for everything to be clear-cut and analyzed, proposing that chaos can be beautiful.
When chaos is the rule, and chaos can be beautiful
Embracing chaos as a rule and finding beauty in its unpredictability.
Here's to the nights we spent so tired and wrecked, but we're not done yet
Reiterating the celebration of challenging nights, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the journey.
Here's to the dreams we had in days long past, but we're not done yet
Reaffirming the pursuit of dreams despite the passage of time, indicating there is more to achieve.
Here's to the nights we spent so tired and wrecked, but we're not done yet
Restating the acknowledgment of exhausting nights and the resilience to continue.
Here's to the dreams we had in days long past, but we're not done yet
Reiterating the recognition of past dreams and the determination to keep moving forward.
