Lyrics
Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Expressing the experience of venturing independently.
Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of striking out on one's own.
Oh, and when I struck out, struck out on, on my own
Continuing the emphasis on the personal journey of independence.

For analyzing causation is one thing
Reflecting on the challenge of understanding causation in life.
To look at the cards is one thing
Considering the uncertainty and unpredictability, akin to a card game.
But to know the future time, it's an unattainable thing
Recognizing the impossibility of knowing the future time.
But to predict and plan for it can be done
Highlighting the ability to predict and plan for the future despite its uncertainty.
No, that's not something that can't be done
Contrasting the belief that planning for the future is achievable.
That's just something that must be done
Stressing the necessity of planning for the future.
That's another commandment for you
Referring to planning for the future as a commandment or directive.
That's another injunction
Emphasizing the importance of planning as an injunction.
Planning for the future time, that's something that must be done
Reiterating the necessity of planning for the future.
That's part of our evolutionary purpose
Linking the act of planning to evolutionary purpose.
That's our law
Describing planning for the future as a law or rule.
That's our heritage

Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Revisiting the experience of striking out on one's own.
Oh, and when I struck out on my own
Reiteration for emphasis on the theme of independence.
Oh, and when I struck out, struck out on, on my own
Continuing the emphasis on the personal journey of independence.
I had a few things that I was talking of on my phone
Introducing distractions or responsibilities while on this personal journey.
Yes, and I had a few emails that I'd been meaning to respond to
Highlighting unattended emails and communication responsibilities.
But I didn't have time, didn't have time to get back to you
Expressing a lack of time to address communication obligations.
Back to you
Repeating the idea of not having time, emphasizing urgency.
Makes me feel like a long time gone
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged feeling of being separated or distant.
Makes me feel like a long time gone
-Makes me feel like a long time gone
-Makes me feel like a long time gone
-A long time gone, a long time gone
-A long time gone, a long time gone
-A long time gone, a long time gone
-A long time gone
