Lyrics
It's not what I hoped wouldn't happen
Expressing disappointment about something that was not anticipated
It's what happened I hoped wouldn't be
Reflecting on an undesirable event that was expected
Just when I get a new notion
Noting the occurrence of a new idea or thought
It turns on me
Feeling betrayed or negatively impacted by the new notion
Maybe we should just try to be
Suggesting a need to accept change and embrace it
And let things change
Encouraging adaptability and openness to transformation
Self-centred on the Eightfold Path
Focusing on self-awareness and personal development on the Eightfold Path
The road up and the road down are one and the same
Highlighting the unity of opposing forces in life's journey
It's the shadow of love I'm try'na chase
Pursuing the elusive nature of love's shadow
I'm losing when the sun goes down
Experiencing loss or difficulties as the day ends
A dip in the ocean or a splash in the face
Comparing life's challenges to a dip in the ocean or a sudden confrontation
You either drip or you drown
Choosing between adapting to challenges or succumbing to them
I'm try'na measure the distance
Attempting to quantify the gap or difference in a situation
I'm gonna fill the space
Determined to fill the void or emptiness
Self-centred on the Eightfold Path
Emphasizing self-focus on the Eightfold Path
The road up and the road down are one and the same
Reiterating the unity of opposites in life's journey
But all I want want all I want
Expressing a desire for everything and not settling for less
There's nothing that can touch me
Believing in invincibility or immunity to harm
And all you bring bring all you bring
Acknowledging external contributions, possibly of little value
The evidence of nothing
Recognizing the insignificance of external offerings
Time time easier in time
Stating that time makes things easier to endure
Too easy too late
Realizing the risk of ease leading to missed opportunities
Self-centred on the Eightfold Path
Reiterating self-focus on the Eightfold Path
The road up and the road down
Affirming the unity of opposites in both the ascent and descent of the journey
The road up and the road down
Highlighting the equivalence of the upward and downward paths
The road up and the road down
Emphasizing the unity of opposites in life's journey
Are one and the same
Stating the oneness of the ascending and descending roads
Are one and the same
Repeating the idea of the unity of opposites
Are one and the same
Affirming the equality and sameness of the paths
The same the same
Reiterating the notion of equivalence in the journey
