The Way Of The World
Navigating Life's Swirl: The Way of the World Unveiled
Lyrics
That’s the way of the world (4 x)
Expressing acceptance of the natural order of the world.
It goes up and down like that, can’t help itself.
Describing the unpredictable nature of life, with ups and downs.
It swivels and bounces. Fluctuates.
Portraying the world as swiveling and fluctuating.
Looking through cracked windows at the street,
Observing the world through cracked windows, possibly symbolizing a distorted perspective.
hearing the sound of tapping feet.
Noting the sound of tapping feet, suggesting activity and life.
Somebody above me is making a noise.
Acknowledging noise from above, possibly representing external influences.
Naughty girls and naughty boys.
Mentioning naughty girls and boys, hinting at mischievous behavior.
I’m living and unemployed, no work at all,
Expressing unemployment and a lack of work.
I toy with the idea of doing away with myself,
Contemplating suicide but experiencing daily changes of mind, emphasizing uncertainty and inner struggles.
but I change my mind every day
-I change my mind every day
-I change my mind every day
-Every day. (7 x)
-That’s the way of the world (4 x)
Reiterating the acceptance of the world's nature.
You look at me now and I’m looking at you across the restaurant table.
Describing a disconnected interaction at a restaurant table, highlighting a lack of understanding between individuals.
Across by the sauce bottles, over the salt and the vinegar.
-You’re looking at me and looking rather sour,
-You’ve been looking like that for the past half-hour.
-You want to ask me who I am, but I don’t know,
-and you certainly don’t know me.
-I wonder, I wonder should I change the way I am?
Questioning the need for personal change and self-reflection.
I wonder, I wonder should I change the way I am?
-I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. That’s the way of the world.
Repeating the uncertainty about the world's nature and the need for introspection.
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. That’s the way of the world.
-Here comes the sunlight. Make another start.
Noting the arrival of sunlight as a metaphor for a new beginning or opportunity.
Here comes the sunlight. I’ll make another start.
-Here comes the sunlight. Got to make another start.
-Here comes the sunlight. I’ll make another start.
-That’s the way of the world (8 x)
Reaffirming the acceptance of the world's inherent nature.
