Rock Paper Scissors
Decoding Life's Choices: Rock Paper Scissors Song Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Giving yourself advice you don’t take
Giving advice to oneself but not following it.
Maybe you’re making a big mistake
Suspecting a significant error in one's actions.
If you should die before you wake
Contemplating mortality, suggesting a cautionary tone.
Pray to the lord your heart he can break
Urging prayer to avoid heartbreak if death occurs.
Why don’t you do what you ought
Encouraging doing what is morally right.
One of these days you’re gonna get caught
Warning of potential consequences for one's actions.
Couple of things that can’t be taught
Highlighting certain qualities that cannot be learned.
Make your bed and that’s what you bought
Emphasizing the consequences of one's choices.
Nothing to lose but all that you’ve got
Suggesting a situation with nothing to gain but everything to lose.
Can’t trust your gut 'cause your gut can lie
Cautioning against blindly trusting one's instincts.
