Navigating Life's Maze: Embracing Mistakes and Finding Perfection
Lyrics
Learning there's nothing to gain from advice
Learning that advice doesn't yield any gain.
Hey doubt, come on around anytime
Inviting doubt to come around at any time.
Anyhow mistakes are what lead you through life
Mistakes play a crucial role in guiding one through life.
Down and out's only if you think up and in's right
Down and out is a perspective; thinking up and in is the right way.
I've gone along with all the sins that are versions of you
Accepting and participating in sins that are variations of oneself.
But guidelines were all I had time to get through
Having only guidelines as a framework to navigate life.
It's like reading of love that's gone wrong
Comparing it to reading about love gone wrong.
If time was laid out like that
Imagining time laid out differently, where everything happens simultaneously.
Everything would occur at once
Suggesting a chaotic scenario if all events occurred at once.
And all the laws were laid down twice
Considering a hypothetical situation where laws are repeated.
And the clouds were doubled in the sky
Imagining a doubled sky with duplicated clouds.
And being tall meant lacking height
Playing with the paradox of being tall yet lacking height.
And being wrong was being right
Highlighting the paradoxical nature of being wrong but feeling right.
You're perfect
Expressing perfection within a lie, fitting snugly into it.
You fit snuggly right in the lie
Reiterating the seamless fit within deception.
One host is going to teach how to die
Anticipating someone to teach about the art of dying.
Lay down, the darkness tonight is so bright
Encouraging a restful surrender to the bright darkness.
Reasons, there's one for each time cars collide
Suggesting reasons for every instance of car collisions.
I hear that telling moments divide
Noticing moments that mark significant divides.
And the only important moments are the in between times
Emphasizing the importance of in-between times.
And being confused is an exercise
Viewing confusion as a mental exercise.
I'm missing your thoughts tonight
Expressing a longing for someone's thoughts.
But we reach out to what's out of our sight
Reaching out to the unseen and unknown.
I'm missing your thoughts tonight
Yearning for the absent thoughts once again.
But we reach out to what's out of our sight
Continuing to reach out to the hidden and distant.
