Before
Embracing the Present: Letting Go of What Was
Lyrics
No matter what we do
No matter what actions we take
No matter what we hear
No matter what information we receive
No matter what for
No matter the reason or purpose
We end up looking back
We find ourselves reflecting
On all that went before
Reflecting on the past experiences
It follows us at night
The past continues to influence us during the night
It follows us by day
The past continues to influence us during the day
It follows us in war
The past influences us even in times of conflict (war)
We end up looking back
We find ourselves reflecting again
On all that went before
Reflecting on all that happened before
Be careful not to dwell
Caution against excessively focusing on the past
The past has cast its spell
The past has a lasting impact
So goodbye carousel
Farewell to the repetitive and nostalgic cycle (carousel)
No more looking back
No more revisiting the past
No more looking back
Emphasis on moving forward, leaving the past behind
No more looking back
Reiteration of the commitment to not look back
On all that went before
A final statement on avoiding dwelling on past events
Just living for the day, there is no better way
Encouragement to live in the present, as there is no superior way
Just living for the day, there is no better way
Repetition of the idea of living for the day
Just living for the day, there is no better way
Reaffirmation of the positive perspective on living in the moment
Just living for the day, there is no better way
Assertion that living for the day is the best approach
