Life's Lessons Unveiled: Sam McGovern's Profound Reflections
Lyrics
I know I'm not always right
I acknowledge that I am not always correct.
That's proved by the mistakes I've made in my life
This is evident from the mistakes I've made in my life.
But thats just a lesson I've learnt over time
These mistakes have served as valuable lessons over time.
I've seen much more terrible things
I have witnessed things much worse than the passage of time marked by clock mechanisms.
Than time paused by the cogs that made clocks spin
My life has passed swiftly, comparable to the speed of light.
I've seen my life fly past quicker than the light
The process of learning from these life lessons appears ongoing.
It seems as through these lessons I'll keep on learning
Reiteration of the continuous nature of learning from life's lessons.
It seems as through these lessons I'll keep on learning
-I know there will never be a life
Realization that life will always include pain, heartbreak, tears, and challenges.
Without pain, heartbreak, tears and strife
Anticipation of more sleepless nights in the future.
I know there will be more sleepless nights
A metaphorical encouragement to release oneself from restricting ties.
Let go of the ropes that tied you down
Empowerment to take control and discard an insignificant crown.
Take control of that useless crown
A reminder of the inevitable fate shared by all – becoming bones, dust, dirt, and death.
Because in the end we all become bones, dust, dirt and die
Reiteration of the continuous nature of learning from life's lessons.
It seems as through these lessons I'll keep on learning
-It seems as through these lessons I'll keep on learning
-Or maybe the clocks will turn
Contemplation on the possibility that time might outpace the individual.
And they'll beat me to the race
The concern that time might surpass personal achievements.
And just like my father told me, Sam, you'll learn the hard way
Reference to advice from the speaker's father, anticipating learning through challenges.
Maybe I will, maybe I will
An acknowledgment of the potential for learning the hard way.
I guess I will
An affirmation of the likelihood of experiencing challenges and learning.
Time keeps on passing me by
A reflection on time continuously passing without pause.
Faces I knew left behind
The recognition of people from the past left behind as time progresses.
Lessons I've learnt never mind
Acceptance of lessons learned, regardless of the difficulty.
Will I learn
Pondering whether the speaker will continue to learn from life's experiences.
Time keeps on passing me by
Repetition of the theme of time passing and faces being left behind.
Faces I knew left behind
-Lessons I've learnt never mind
-Will I learn
Repetition of the uncertainty regarding future learning.
Time keeps on passing me by
-Faces I knew left behind
-Lessons I've learnt never mind
-Will I learn
-I know I'm not always right
A reminder of the speaker's fallibility and past mistakes.
That's proved by the mistakes I've made in my life
Reiteration of the speaker's fallibility and acknowledgment of past mistakes.
But thats just a lesson (lesson) I've learnt (learnt) over time
A reaffirmation that learning from mistakes is an ongoing process over time.
