A Better Life
Dreaming of Renewal: Noel Montenegro's A Better Life
Lyrics
Oh we try our best
Expressing the effort made
To go so far
Striving to achieve significant progress
It's all we have
Indicating limitations to what's available
But to try
Emphasizing the importance of attempting
Our bones are dust
Symbolizing human mortality and fragility
Backs are striped
Suggesting physical hardship or suffering
Wouldn't it be nice
Expressing a desire for something pleasant
To have more time
Wishing for additional time
The trail went cold
Describing the loss of a trail or path
Somewhere along the way
Indicating getting lost or losing direction
In woods so dark
Referring to a difficult or confusing situation
You can't see your face
Metaphorically expressing profound darkness or confusion
Oh I must have been fooled
Realization of being deceived or misled
By some pretty face
Feeling deceived by superficial attractiveness
She looked me in the eyes and caught me
Being captivated or entranced by someone
Dreaming
Imagining or yearning for a better existence
Of a Better Life
Expressing the desire for improvement in life
I was dreaming
Reiterating the longing for a better life
Of a Better Life
Continuation of dreaming for an improved existence
Well life comes along
Highlighting life's unpredictable nature
Doesn't care for plans
Emphasizing life's indifference to one's intentions
It takes what it wants
Portraying life's seizing of opportunities
Oh and it wants
Implying the voracious nature of life
But if you had the chance
Pondering the prospect of a new chance or opportunity
To do this all again
Contemplating the idea of a second attempt
Could I look you in your eyes
Questioning one's ability to face another person honestly
to catch you
Intent to observe someone's hopeful state
Dreaming
Reiteration of imagining or yearning for a better life
Of a Better Life
Describing another's desire for an improved existence
You'd be dreaming
Continuation of portraying someone's dream for a better life
Of a Better Life
Repeated expression of longing for a better existence
