First Chair
Embracing Fate: Journeys of Love and Mistakes
Lyrics
One for the road and two for the show
Desire for one last drink before leaving, possibly for a performance.
Will we go bowling again?
Questioning if they'll engage in a familiar activity like bowling.
Drinking like other fish
Drinking heavily, like fish in water.
Swimming round our empty world
Feeling adrift or lost in an empty, unfulfilling existence.
One love and two for our soul
Seeking love and nourishment for the soul.
Tell me how we have been so wrong
Questioning how they've gone astray or made mistakes.
The thoughts that we had back then
Reflecting on past thoughts that once strengthened their love.
Kept our love so strong
The past thoughts helped maintain a strong bond.
In our lives there’s a rhyme and a reason for this
Belief that events in life have purpose and meaning.
And we turned away from the truth
Turning away from truth or reality.
But that’s when we feel the thin line of fate
Sensing the delicate balance of destiny.
And we made one final mistake
Making a significant, possibly irreversible mistake.

(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Be a guide for me
Seeking guidance from someone.
Don’t get me up from my first chair
Desiring not to be disturbed from a comfortable or familiar position.
Doodoodoobeydoo
(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Steer it wide of me
Asking not to be influenced or diverted from a course.
Will never leave me there
Requesting not to be abandoned because of care or concern.
Because I care
Expressing care or concern for someone.
Get the timing
Emphasis on getting timing right.
Get the time wrong
Consistently getting the timing wrong.
And do it every day
Repetitive actions in daily life.
I will finish this life I lead
Determination to finish one's current way of life.
Fool around too long
Warning about not wasting too much time in frivolous activities.
And I will never let you down
Commitment to not disappoint or fail someone.
I’ve been wandering the back door of me
Feeling lost or aimless within oneself.
Doodoodoobeydoo
(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Be a guide for me
Seeking guidance from someone.
Don’t get me up from my first chair
Desiring not to be disturbed from a comfortable or familiar position.
Doodoodoobeydoo
(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Steer it wide of me
Asking not to be influenced or diverted from a course.
I’m here to find
Expressing determination to be at the forefront or first in line.
I’m first in line
Asserting the desire to be prioritized.
One for the road and two for the show
Desire for one last drink before leaving, possibly for a performance (repeated line).
Will we go bowling again?
Questioning if they'll engage in a familiar activity like bowling (repeated line).
Doodoodoobeydoo
(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Be a star for me
Seeking to be guided or inspired by someone.
Don’t get me up from my first chair
Desiring not to be disturbed from a comfortable or familiar position.
Doodoodoobeydoo
(Repetitive syllables without a specific meaning.)
Now you are with me
Feeling accompanied or supported by someone.
Our hill we’ll climb
Expressing determination to overcome challenges together.
I’m close behind
Following closely behind someone in a supportive role.
