Regrets
Navigating Life's Regrets: A Reflection on Missed Chances and Love
Lyrics
I've been around since 2002
The singer reflects on their existence since 2002.
And I still don't know what to do
The singer expresses uncertainty about life decisions.
I figured I should have a map by now
A desire for guidance is conveyed, symbolized by the idea of having a map for life.
With the do's and don'ts of life I figured somehow
Expectation of a set of rules for life but feeling lost in the absence of such guidance.
But to be fair, I don't have a clue since 2002
Admitting a lack of understanding or direction since 2002.
But If there's one thing I wanna get rid of
The singer expresses a desire to overcome their fear of falling in love.
It's my worst fear of falling in love
A fear of falling in love is identified as the singer's worst fear.
In my little life I learnt one thing
A lesson learned in life is mentioned, possibly related to running away from challenges.
You can run away
Encouragement to escape from difficulties or challenges.
But you'll regret what you don't
The importance of taking action and avoiding regrets is emphasized.
You'll regret what you don't do
Reiteration of the idea that regrets stem from inaction.
It's the things that you don't
Emphasis on the negative consequences of not doing certain things.
It's the things that you don't do
Repetition of the theme regarding the consequences of inaction.
I've been way too shy for anything new
The singer acknowledges being too shy to explore new opportunities.
Chances passing me by and there's not one I took
Regret over missed chances and opportunities in life.
So, while Love's making two people a perfect fit
A reflection on love and the singer's distance from experiencing it.
It feels like I couldn't have been further away from it
Feeling far from the ideal state of being in love.
Now, I'm only full of regret
The singer expresses being filled with regret.
You'll regret what you don't
Reiteration of the idea that regrets result from inaction.
You'll regret what you don't do
Reiteration of the importance of taking action to avoid regrets.
It's the things that you don't
Emphasis on the consequences of not doing certain things.
It's the things that you don't do
Repetition of the theme regarding the negative outcomes of inaction.
But If there's one thing I wanna get rid of
Reiteration of the desire to overcome the fear of falling in love.
It's my worst fear of falling in love
Repetition of the identification of the fear of falling in love as the worst fear.
In my little life I learnt one thing
Recollection of a life lesson related to running away from challenges.
You can run away
