Those Days
Reckless Days: Embracing Risk, Embracing Life
Lyrics
(Oh oh oh oh oh) (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Expressing excitement or emphasis, setting a tone for the following lyrics.
Riding right on to
Beginning a journey or a ride, both physically and metaphorically.
Some place we thought we knew
Heading towards a familiar destination, perhaps revisiting the past.
It's strange we wanted to
Feeling strange about the desire to go back to a particular place or time.
Risk everything we could, those days
Reflecting on a time when the speaker and others were willing to take risks.
I thought that I had (Ooh ooh ooh)
Expressing a feeling of confidence or having a solution to a situation.
Some good advice for you (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Offering advice to someone.
Thank god you never listed to what I said
Thankful that the advice given was not followed, implying a positive outcome.
Those days we tried to do (Ooh ooh ooh)
Recalling past attempts or actions during a certain period.
Some things we never should (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Acknowledging mistakes or inappropriate actions taken during that time.
So glad we lived to fight another day
Expressing gratitude for surviving challenges and continuing to live.
Adventure was cool
Highlighting the appeal of adventure when there is nothing to lose.
When you have nothing to lose
Emphasizing the recklessness of youth and taking risks.
Young and crazy little fools
Describing the speaker and others as young, crazy, and impulsive.
I'm surprised we made it through, those days
Surprised by successfully navigating through challenges during those times.
I thought that I had (Ooh ooh ooh)
Repeating the idea of having advice or guidance to offer.
Some good advice for you (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Reiterating the theme of advice and expressing gratitude for not being followed.
Thank god you never listed to what I said
Thankful for the positive outcomes despite the speaker's advice not being heeded.
Those days we tried to do (Ooh ooh ooh)
Recalling attempts to achieve certain goals during those past days.
Some things we never should (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Acknowledging that some actions attempted during that time were inappropriate.
So glad we lived to fight another day
Expressing gratitude for surviving challenges and continuing to live.
Riding around like fools
Describing a period of acting foolishly and without careful consideration.
Trying to be so cool
Attempting to appear stylish or sophisticated during that time.
Never thinking we could loose
Being unaware of the potential consequences and risks during that time.
The little bit we knew, those days
Reflecting on the limited knowledge possessed during those days.
I thought that I had (Ooh ooh ooh)
Repeating the theme of offering advice or guidance.
Some good advice for you (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Reiterating the idea of advice given and expressing gratitude for not being followed.
Thank god you never listed to what I said
Thankful for positive outcomes despite advice not being heeded.
Those days we tried to do (Ooh ooh ooh)
Recalling attempts to achieve certain goals during those past days.
Some things we never should (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Acknowledging that some actions attempted during that time were inappropriate.
So glad we lived to fight another day
Expressing gratitude for surviving challenges and continuing to live.
