You Don't Want to Do That
Navigating Life's Turbulence: You Don't Want to Do That
Lyrics
My feet touch down but my head flies off
Feeling grounded physically but mentally detached.
Seems all we have is all I've got
Acknowledging that the present encompasses all possessions.
My feet touch down but my head flies off
Repetition of the sensation of physical grounding and mental detachment.
If I keep my head will I still get lost?
Contemplating the possibility of losing direction if one remains mentally detached.
My feet touch down but my head flies off
Reiteration of the conflict between physical presence and mental escapism.
If we go forward don't look back
Encouraging forward movement without dwelling on the past.
I'd say you don't want to do that
Warning against looking back, implying potential negative consequences.
It's too easy to sit on your hands and lost out
Advising against inaction and passive observation to avoid missing opportunities.
My skin turns brown but my hair goes white
Noting a contrast in physical appearance, perhaps symbolizing aging.
If I keep my grip I will lose all sight
Reflecting on the challenge of maintaining control and vision in life.
My skin turns brown but my hair goes white
Repeating the contrast in physical changes and the potential stress of inactivity.
I could stay in bed and get more uptight
Considering the option of avoiding challenges by staying in bed.
My skin turns brown but my hair goes white
Reiteration of the physical changes and the importance of facing challenges.
If we go forward don't look back
Encouraging forward movement without dwelling on past experiences.
I'd say you don't want to do that
Reinforcing the caution against looking back, emphasizing its undesirability.
It's so easy to sit on your hands and lose out
Highlighting the risk of losing opportunities by being passive.
My legs slow down but my brain won't stop
Noting a slowdown in physical activity but a persistent active mind.
If it's all we have, then it's all we've got
Emphasizing the significance of the present situation, implying contentment.
It's all we have it's all we've got, it's enough
Acknowledging that the present is sufficient and all that is available.
It's all we have it's all we've got, then it's
Reiterating the adequacy of the present, reinforcing contentment.
