Chance To Stop
Life's Unseen Struggles: The Blades' Reflection on Missed Chances
Lyrics
A million housewives every day
A commentary on the common lives of housewives.
Pick up a magazine and say
Reference to the habit of reading magazines and comparing oneself to others.
I could have been, I could have been
Expressing regret or longing for different life choices.
I could have had, I could have had
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unfulfilled potential.
But I got married too soon
Regretting the decision to marry prematurely.
Though not exactly Mills and Boon
Contrasting the marriage with an acknowledgment that it's not an ideal romance (Mills and Boon is a publisher of romance novels).
A million husbands every day
Shifting perspective to the thoughts of husbands.
Look through an empty glass and say
Observing life through a negative lens (empty glass).
Everyone I see is much better off than me
Feeling inferior compared to others in society.
Just to make ends meet
Struggling financially to meet basic needs.
I've to work until I drop
Expressing the need to work relentlessly to make ends meet.
Never really had a chance to
Expressing a lack of opportunities or choices.
A million children day
Shifting focus to the perspective of children.
Pick up the magazine and say
Continuing the theme of comparing oneself to magazine ideals.
I want to be, I want to be
Expressing desires for a different life.
I want to have, I want to have
Longing for possessions or achievements.
I'll take my chances wait and see
Optimism about taking chances and waiting for a positive outcome.
Have all my friends look up to me
Desire for social validation and admiration from friends.
A million husbands every day
Returning to the perspective of husbands.
Look through an empty glass and say
Continuing the theme of dissatisfaction and comparison.
Everyone I see is much better off than me
Feeling inferior to others in various aspects of life.
Just to make ends meet
Emphasizing the struggle to make ends meet.
I've to work until I drop
Highlighting the necessity of continuous hard work.
Never really had a chance to... stop
Expressing a perpetual lack of opportunity to pause and reflect.
