Double Time
Living on the Edge: Embracing Life's Double Time
Lyrics
We live a double life.
We lead two lives simultaneously.
A double standard at the end of a double edge knife.
There's a contradictory standard at the dangerous end of a double-edged knife.
Double back. Double take.
Retrace steps and reconsider actions.
Double the trouble the more ground that I shake.
Challenges increase when I make a bigger impact.
And I would live a life of crime
I would choose a life of wrongdoing before letting the law dictate my choices.
Before I let the law try to change my mind so
Prefer committing a crime over conforming to societal norms.
You better make mine a double,
Order a double drink, suggesting intensity.
Cause I’m doing double time.
Working twice as hard or facing double challenges.
Consequence of when you come too far:
Outcome of going too far: seeing the world as a mere prize to pursue.
See the world as just a prize you’re after.
Viewing the world as an object to attain when you've pushed boundaries.
Consequence of when you’re too far gone:
Risking everything to be the last one standing when you've crossed a point of no return.
Risk it all to be the last one standing.
Ready to sacrifice everything for success.
Consequence of when you come too far:
Reiterating the consequences of going too far.
Contemplate until the morning after.
Reflecting on actions until the next day.
Consequence of when you’re too far gone:
When too far gone, staying awake through the night.
Up all night...
Experiencing consequences of pushing boundaries.
If all I had was love, I would never hate my life.
If love was all I had, I wouldn't despise my life.
If all I had was truth, I would never have to lie.
Truth alone would eliminate the need for lies.
If all I did was good, I would never know good times.
Living a morally upright life would mean missing out on joyous experiences.
If all I had was you, I would never leave your side.
If you were my only possession, I'd never abandon you.
We’re doing double time.
Continuing with intense effort or facing dual challenges.
I work a double shift. (Hey)
Working two shifts consecutively.
I double down when I know what I’m working with.
Doubling efforts when aware of capabilities.
We got one love, one life,
Having one love and one life.
Doubled over toasting to one hell of a night. (Yes)
Celebrating excessively for a memorable night.
I struggle with the wrong and right.
Struggling with ethical decisions.
I’m living on the edge til I cross the line so
Living on the edge until crossing a moral boundary.
You better make mine a double, cause I’m doing double time.
Ordering a double, emphasizing the challenging situation.
Consequence of when you come too far:
Repeating consequences of pushing limits.
See the world as just a prize you’re after.
Viewing the world as an attainable prize.
Consequence of when you’re too far gone:
Being willing to risk everything for victory.
Risk it all to be the last one standing.
Willing to sacrifice to be the ultimate survivor.
Consequence of when you come too far:
Reiterating the consequences of pushing boundaries.
Contemplate until the morning after.
Reflecting on actions until the next day.
Consequence of when you’re too far gone:
When too far gone, staying awake through the night.
Up all night...
Experiencing consequences of pushing boundaries.
If all I had was love, I would never hate my life.
If love was all I had, I wouldn't despise my life.
If all I had was truth, I would never have to lie.
Truth alone would eliminate the need for lies.
If all I did was good, I would never know good times.
Living a morally upright life would mean missing out on joyous experiences.
If all I had was you, I would never leave your side.
If you were my only possession, I'd never abandon you.
We’re doing double time.
Continuing with intense effort or facing dual challenges.
