Any Other Way
Embracing Life's Unpredictable Symphony
Lyrics
There's a thousand lives that I could now be leading,
Contemplating various possible paths or life choices.
and a thousand different ways that I could find to feel the same.
Different ways to experience similar emotions or sensations.
I could be a cloistered nun, a cosmic yoga teacher,
Considering diverse roles or identities, such as a nun or a yoga teacher.
or a shrink who only helps because it helps to be insane.
Suggesting a therapist who helps others despite their own mental struggles.
But it's hard to sing a tender tune that you are half-remembering,
Struggling to express a heartfelt song amid distractions.
when the radio is blaring out the big hit of the day
Difficulty in focusing due to external influences, like popular music.
That's life, that's life and
Acceptance of life's ups and downs.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Resigned to the current situation despite challenges.
Maybe I could be a moon-walk-talking astronaut,
Considering an adventurous career as an astronaut.
umbilicalled to oxygen, in case I float away.
Being tethered to safety measures despite the desire for exploration.
But then I don't suppose I ever would have met you,
Realization that certain choices could prevent meeting significant others.
would have travelled up the escalator facing the wrong way.
Metaphorical reference to missing out on important experiences.
And it's hard to think about a face that you have half-forgotten
Struggling to recall someone's face while experiencing happiness.
when this great big smile is grinning as I clear the plates away
Feeling contentment despite forgetfulness.
That's life, that's life and
Reiterating acceptance of life's unpredictability.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Choosing contentment despite uncertainties.
And it scares me to think how close I came
Fear of missing significant connections or relationships.
to never having met you.
Expressing commitment to supporting someone.
Now you know you won't fall so very far,
Assurance of preventing someone's disappointment or failure.
cause I'm never gonna let you down.
Promise of loyalty and support.
There's a thousand things that I could now be buying
Contemplating materialistic remedies for emotional distress.
and a thousand different ways to soothe this existential pain.
Various ways to alleviate existential pain.
There's a thousand destinations I'd be flying to,
Considering numerous travel destinations.
all I have to do is hop on board that ever-waiting plane...
Readiness to embark on new adventures.
But all these empty promises that dress up like solutions,
Critical view of false hopes presented as solutions.
From all these substitutions, I choose you and you again...
Choosing a particular person repeatedly amidst substitutes.
That's life, that's life and
Reaffirmation of embracing life's uncertainties.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Contentment with the chosen path despite challenges.
