Lyrics
This thing called "Life" goes by so quickly
This thing called "Life" is fleeting and passes quickly.
On day you're here and then you're gone
Life is transient, and one day you're present, the next you're gone.
This is the moment I've lived my whole life for
The singer expresses that this moment is the culmination of their entire life.
And I'll never give up; I've waited too long
Despite challenges, the singer is determined and won't give up, having waited a long time.
I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long
Reiteration of the singer waiting for something for an extended period.
And all along the road, all the bodies left behind
Throughout the journey, there are remnants of past experiences, symbolized by "bodies" left behind.
May all have been good friends; just not good friends of mine
Suggests that those left behind were possibly good friends to others but not to the singer.
I've been kicked out and said I quit
The singer has faced rejection and expressed a desire to quit in the past.
Then I said, "I had enough" and "This is it"
The singer reached a breaking point, declaring they've had enough and it's the end.
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
The singer desired one more opportunity to perform before the end of the road.
Cause it was over last time before I could blink, I could blink
Reflects on a previous ending, emphasizing how quickly it occurred ("blink").
I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long
Reiteration of waiting for something for an extended period.
And all along the road, all the bodies left behind
The path traveled is marked by the bodies of past experiences and relationships.
May all have been good friends; just not good friends of mine
Suggests that those left behind might have been friends to others but not to the singer.
Their bodies left behind
Reiteration of the remnants or consequences left behind in the journey.
