Embrace Life's Dance: Unveiling the Depths of Emotion in Matthew Schuler's 'For the Living'
Lyrics
I know I know I know
Expression of understanding or affirmation
You wanna feel good
Desire for positive emotions
I know I know
Reiteration of understanding or affirmation
You wanna feel alive
Desire for a sense of vitality
So let me take this off your chest
Offering support to lighten emotional burden
Give your mind some rest tonight
Suggesting a need for mental relaxation
I love the way your eyes shine
Appreciation for the brightness in someone's eyes
Twinkle like the midnight sky
Comparing eyes to the brilliance of the night sky
But there's something I don't know
Acknowledging uncertainty or lack of knowledge
Something you don't wanna show
Hinting at concealed emotions
That's making you distant
Recognition of emotional distance
Get out your head
Encouragement to escape negative thoughts
Remember all the things we said
Recollection of shared positive memories
Like life's for the living
Affirmation that life is meant to be lived
Oh life's for the living
Reiteration of the idea that life is for living
I know you're tired of pretending
Acknowledgment of weariness in pretending
Like your happy
Recognition that true happiness may be elusive
I know that you don't always know
Acknowledging uncertainty in expressing feelings
How to say how you feel
Encouraging the sharing of personal stories
You've got a story to tell
Acknowledgment of overcoming challenges
For all of the scars
Recognition of emotional wounds
From the times that you fell
Acknowledgment of past struggles
And I promise
Promise to be a supportive listener
That I'm all ears
Reiteration of being open-minded and attentive
Get out your head
Encouragement to break free from negative thoughts
Remember all the things we said
Recollection of shared positive memories (repeated)
Like life's for the living
Reiteration of the idea that life is for living (repeated)
Oh life's for the living
-We're just looking for the party
Expressing the search for enjoyment
We're just looking for a friend
Seeking companionship
Some release for the heartache
Desire for relief from emotional pain
Someone to believe in
Yearning for someone to trust and believe in
I don't wanna look over shoulder
Expressing fear of losing a connection
And find that you're not there
Fear of abandonment
Oooooooh
Expressing emotion (non-verbal)
I've been on my knees for days
Symbolic representation of seeking help or pleading
You can't say that I don't care
Claiming care and concern
Oh aaah
Expressing emotion (non-verbal)
Get out your head
Encouragement to break free from negative thoughts (repeated)
Remember all the things we said
Recollection of shared positive memories (repeated)
Like life's for the living
Reiteration of the idea that life is for living (repeated)
Oh life's for the living
-Oooooh
Expressing emotion (non-verbal)
Ooooh
-Oooooh
-Oooooh
-Ooooh
-Oooooh
