Lyrics
Caught in the times we live in
Expressing a sense of being influenced or trapped by the current era.
Caught in the times we know
Highlighting the continued impact of the times we are familiar with.
It's taking a real hard line
Describing a challenging and strict attitude or approach.
You feel you're becoming a number
Feeling dehumanized, reduced to a mere statistic or insignificant entity.
Nobody needs your trouble
Stating that others are indifferent to your problems or difficulties.
Gives you the time of day
Receiving minimal attention or recognition from those around you.
But kicking the world behind
Rejecting or ignoring the world's troubles won't make them disappear.
Won't make it go away
Emphasizing that avoiding problems won't solve them.
'cause we're strong
Asserting inner strength and resilience.
And we're big enough to take
Confidently stating the ability to handle challenges.
Whatever time will bring
Encouraging acceptance and readiness for whatever the future holds.
We've only one life
Acknowledging the singularity and preciousness of life.
And we've gotta lot to give
Highlighting the potential for positive contributions despite challenges.
There's only one time
Emphasizing the limited time available.
And we've got to make or break it
Stressing the need to take decisive actions in the limited time.
Let the Sparks fly out again
Advocating for the release of passion or creativity.
Let the feelings tell you when
Encouraging reliance on emotions to guide decisions.
Let the Sparks fly out again
Reiterating the call for spontaneous expression and passion.
Flick of the fingers
Warning about potential harm from quick, thoughtless actions.
And they'll cut you down for sure
Acknowledging the necessity of toughness in certain situations.
You gotta be hard sometimes
Emphasizing the need to be resilient and strong when required.
And so you pretend it's nothing
Acting as if challenges or problems are insignificant.
Finding what to believe in
Struggling to find beliefs or principles to trust in.
That's what it's hard to do
Highlighting the difficulty in determining what to believe in.
Boy there was another time
Reflecting on a past time when positive qualities were evident.
I saw the best in you
Recalling a time when the best qualities of a person were apparent.
'cause we're strong
Reiterating inner strength and resilience.
And we're big enough to take
Confidently stating the ability to handle challenges (repeated).
Whatever time will bring
Encouraging acceptance and readiness for whatever the future holds (repeated).
