Amateur Hour
Embrace Life's Lessons: Beyond Amateur Hour
Lyrics
Don't make me sad
Expressing a plea not to be saddened.
Talking 'bout tomorrow
Discussing the future, possibly with a positive outlook.
It's not so bad
Suggesting that the future is not as negative as it may seem.
We were doing fine just then
Reflecting on a period when things were going well.
You'll move on up, you'll move on out
Encouraging someone to progress and move forward confidently.
And you won't cry
Assuring that there won't be tears or sadness.
Cause your amateur hour is over
Declaring the end of a phase marked by inexperience or mediocrity.
You're only going where I've been
Implying that the individual is following a path already traveled by the speaker.
And you'll see what I've seen
Suggesting that the person will gain similar experiences as the speaker.
You're no amateur, amateur
Affirming the person's competence, negating the idea of being an amateur.
You know if someone likes your face
Recognizing the importance of attractiveness in gaining favor.
You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur
Advising against remaining inexperienced, especially when someone appreciates you.
It's strictly for amateurs
Stating that certain things are reserved for those lacking expertise.
The world could be a better place
Contemplating a better world if some individuals stayed in their beginner state.
If some of us could stay
Expressing the idea that the world could benefit from the presence of amateurs.
Amateurs
Reiterating the concept of being an amateur with a slightly positive connotation.
There's no more time
Indicating a lack of time to consider the future.
To think about the way ahead
Emphasizing the urgency of the present moment.
Just miss one line
Suggesting that a mistake could lead to dire consequences.
Fall over, you'll be left for dead
Warning about the potential outcome of a misstep.
Your heart will play no part except
Stating that emotions won't play a role, except when memories resurface.
When memories of your amateur hour take over
Referring to the recollection of past inexperienced moments.
Then screw yourself into a ball
Advising self-reflection and resilience when faced with challenges.
And keep it rolling on
Encouraging persistence and adaptability.
You're no amateur, amateur
Reiterating the idea that the person is not an amateur.
You know if someone likes your face
Acknowledging the significance of one's appearance in gaining approval.
You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur
Warning against maintaining a novice status when appreciated.
It's strictly for amateurs
Restating that certain things are reserved for those lacking expertise.
The world could be a better place
Reflecting on the potential improvement in the world if some stayed inexperienced.
If some of us could stay
Reiterating the idea that the world could benefit from the presence of amateurs.
Amateurs
Affirming the concept of being an amateur with a slightly positive connotation.
Don't make me sad
Repeating the plea not to induce sadness.
It's not so bad
Reiterating that the future is not as bleak as it may seem.
