A Way of Life
A Journey of Resilience: The Concretes' Reflection on Life's Trials
Lyrics
The color of you eyes has faded,
The vibrancy or intensity of the color of your eyes has diminished.
They're not as brown as I remember them as a child
They are not as brown now as they were in my childhood memories.
Oh why wasn't I a real child
Expressing a wish to have experienced a more carefree and innocent childhood.
Why did I have to run before my morning came
Questioning the decision to face challenges prematurely, before fully experiencing life.
Around
An ambiguous reference, possibly signifying a period of uncertainty or wandering.
You were looking for a way of life
Describing someone searching for a meaningful and fulfilling way of life.
Some way to put your mind aside
Seeking a method to temporarily escape or distance oneself from mental burdens.
This chance you had was your last you said
Acknowledging a missed opportunity, recognizing it as the last chance.
I admired you strength to give it one more try
Admiring the resilience and determination to try again despite difficult circumstances.
Though the cards were stacked against you,
Acknowledging challenges and obstacles faced by the person.
You decided to fight it
The decision to confront and battle against the difficulties.
And you, you looked so young again
Observing a rejuvenation, a return to a youthful appearance.
Then the day came around, or it was actually
Recalling a specific moment, possibly a turning point in the person's struggle.
An evening, when you failed
Referring to a time of failure or setback in the person's journey.
I remember the moment wasn't anywhere
Highlighting the lack of appropriateness or correctness in that particular moment.
Close to right,
Expressing that the moment was far from being correct or satisfactory.
But will there ever be for those things
Raising a question about the possibility of a better outcome for such situations.
I am still glad you decided to give it a final try
Expressing gratitude for the person's decision to make a final effort.
Now all I wish for your well deserved rest
Wishing the person a peaceful and well-deserved rest after their struggles.
I know we don't choose our parents
Acknowledging that individuals do not have control over their choice of parents.
But we can't ignore the feelings
Emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and addressing emotions towards parents.
That we grow for them
Highlighting the natural growth of feelings towards parents despite lack of choice.
