All We Have
Reflections on Life's Fleeting Moments: All We Have by Izzie Yardley
Lyrics
Sitting wondering if I'm missing what the others have
Sitting and reflecting on whether the speaker lacks what others possess.
A steady job, a caring home, family in their beds
Envy for a stable job, a loving home, and a family sleeping peacefully.
Flowers on the table, photos on each wall
Observing a cozy domestic scene with flowers and family photos.
I don't know what I've been waiting for
Expressing uncertainty about what the speaker has been anticipating.
Something tells me I've been here before
Sensing a familiar experience, a feeling of déjà vu.
Getting old was easy when you couldn't see the signs
Reflecting on the challenges of aging, especially when the signs become apparent.
But then all I ever learnt in life was that nothing ever lasts
Life's lesson learned that nothing in life is permanent or enduring.
Staring down the papers, scared to turn the page
Facing anxiety about the unknown, hesitant to progress in life.
Wondering how this is all we made
Contemplating the limited achievements and wondering if this is the extent of what has been accomplished.
Something tells me this is all we'll have
A premonition that the current situation might be the only thing the speaker will possess.
And I'm not sleeping
Expressing insomnia or restless nights, possibly due to worry or contemplation.
Don't wanna see the trains and lights, the hooded men, the blackened doors and dragon tails
Avoiding exposure to negative elements such as trains, lights, hooded figures, darkened doors, and mythical creatures.
Maybe it's time to make a plan like,
Suggesting a need for a new plan or direction in life.
Moving to the country with my man
Considering a major life change, like moving to the countryside with a partner.
The king who burns his castle, just to steal the maid
Describing a scenario where a powerful figure sacrifices his possessions for a romantic pursuit.
The fallen in their shackles praying for judgement day
Depicting individuals in chains praying for a day of reckoning or justice.
Hoping for an angel to come down and say
Hoping for divine intervention or guidance in a difficult situation.
Honey, take my hand
An imaginary dialogue where someone offers support and assistance.
Didn't you learn that nothing ever lasts
Reiterating the theme that nothing in life is permanent or enduring.
No, this ain't all we'll have
Rejecting the notion that the current circumstances are the only things the speaker will possess in the future.
