Lyrics
This is not the warm-up round
This emphasizes that life is not a practice round; it's the real deal.
This is not a trial heat
Life is not a test or a trial; there's no opportunity to redo certain moments.
It can't be repeated when your time has gone
Once time passes, certain experiences cannot be relived or replicated.
This is not an infinite resource
Life is not an endless supply; resources, including time, are finite.
Or the prelude to a starter course
It's not just a prelude; it's a significant part of life, not to be taken lightly.
You don't send it back if it gets done wrong
Mistakes in life cannot always be corrected or undone.
This is your life
The focus shifts to the listener's life, urging self-respect and proper treatment of oneself.
Treat yourself right
Encouragement to live life in a way that respects one's own values and principles.
Treat others right
An extension of the previous line, advocating for treating others with the same respect.
Live like you know you should
A call to live in accordance with one's moral compass.
This is life
A repetition of the idea that the present life is significant.
Fight the good fight
Encouragement to persevere in doing what is morally right.
Fight for what's right
Advocacy for standing up for moral values and justice.
Do what you know you should
An emphasis on doing what one knows is right.
Every living soul completes
Highlighting the finite nature of life, suggesting a limited number of opportunities.
A finite number of heartbeats
Life is measured by the limited number of heartbeats, emphasizing mortality.
This is not the sum of what you're here for
Life's purpose extends beyond mere existence; there's a greater meaning.
Every breath you take will be exhaled
The inevitability of exhaling every breath and experiencing the cyclical nature of life.
Every rising sun will fall
Even the rising sun eventually sets, symbolizing the transient nature of life.
The measure of it all is what you live for
The value of life is determined by what one lives for, suggesting purpose.
You had a dream
Reference to a lost dream, possibly reflecting on missed opportunities.
But it got lost in a life of regret
Regret in life has caused the abandonment of a once-held dream.
The devil knows you get just one shot
Highlighting the seriousness of life and the importance of making the most of it.
You had a dream
Reiteration of a dream, questioning if it's still being pursued or forgotten.
Are you still dreaming or did you forget
Pondering whether the dream is still alive or has been overshadowed by other concerns.
That heaven's calling for your best shot
A reminder that one's best efforts are required, suggesting a higher purpose.
