The Way You Know
Embrace Life's Wisdom: The Way You Know
Lyrics
I met a young man by the sea
I encountered a young man near the sea.
He looked alive not only dreaming
He appeared lively, not just lost in dreams.
He turned around and smiled at me
He turned around and smiled at me.
Said ‘you’re just caught up finding meaning
Expressed that I am preoccupied with finding meaning.
But you can’t even begin to start
Not able to start the quest when entangled in heartbreak.
When you’re stuck in the ways of all the things that break your heart
Stuck in the patterns of things that cause emotional pain.
So live life, life, the way you know
Encouragement to live life in a way known to oneself.
And take time, time to fill your soul
Advice to allocate time to nourish one's soul.
Cause there’s nothing you’ll take, there’s only what you leave behind
Emphasizing that possessions are left behind, only memories persist.
So live life, life, the way you know’
Reiteration to live life authentically.
I met an old man by the sea
Encountered an old man near the sea.
He looked so sick of only dreaming
He seemed tired of just dreaming without action.
He dried his eyes and looked at me
Dried his eyes and questioned if he's alone in his feelings.
Said ‘am I alone in how I’m feeling?
Expressed a sense of isolation and emotional struggle.
They don’t know, don’t get my head
Feeling misunderstood, lost between anxiety and dread.
I got lost between anxiety and dread
Confusion and distress between anxiety and dread.
When they said
Reference to previous advice on living life authentically.
Live life, life, the way you know
Reiteration to live life in a way true to oneself.
And take time, time to fill your soul
Repeat advice to allocate time for soul enrichment.
Cause there’s nothing you’ll take, there’s only what you leave behind
Emphasizing the transient nature of possessions.
So live life, life, the way you know’
Reiteration to live life genuinely.
I’ll try to live life, life, with what I know
Personal commitment to living life authentically.
To take time, time to fill my soul
Expressing the intention to invest time in self-discovery.
Cause there’s nothing I’ll take, there’s only what I leave behind
Highlighting the impermanence of material possessions.
I’ll try to live life,oh life, with what I know
Reaffirmation of personal commitment to authentic living.
I saw both men by the sea
Observation of both men sharing insights by the sea.
They both had things to say, I listened
They had valuable advice; I paid attention.
Enjoy the highs, keep the lows foreseen
Suggesting to embrace the highs and be prepared for the lows.
Well that’s my aim, my only mission
Clarifying the aim and sole mission of enjoying life.
