Every Day, Another Day
Navigating Life's Unknown Roads with The Pearl Divide
Lyrics
Driving to work
Expressing the routine of commuting to work.
Where the work I do is fine
Content with the nature of the work being done.
Try to make enough to buy
Working to earn money for simple pleasures like beer and wine.
Some beer and wine
Desire for leisure and enjoyment in daily life.
Every day, another day
Reflection on the passage of time.
Passes right on by
Acknowledgment of the swift passage of each day.
So fast it feels like when I pass
Comparing the speed of time to passing by strangers.
Another passer-by
Highlighting the fleeting nature of life's moments.
Driving but I don't know where to go
Feeling lost and directionless while driving.
My book of life is losing pages
Sense of life's journey through metaphor of a book losing pages.
Flying high and low
Experiencing highs and lows in life.
Why should I reach for these
Questioning the pursuit of conventional assurances.
Old outdated guarantees
Rejecting old, unreliable guarantees for personal expression.
When I can just write what I know
Embracing the freedom to write one's own narrative.
The harder I push
Expressing the paradox of increased effort leading to faster pace.
The faster I go
Symbolizing the challenges of striving for a desired life.
Leading towards a life that I
Moving towards a life goal or aspiration.
Want to know
Expressing a desire to understand and experience life.
Leaving behind the life I knew to be
Letting go of the familiar past for the sake of progress.
Heading towards a different mystery
Embarking on an unknown journey with curiosity.
Driving but I don't know where to go
Reiterating the feeling of aimlessness while driving.
My book of life is losing pages
Continuation of the metaphor of life as a book losing pages.
Flying high and low
Experiencing highs and lows in the ongoing journey.
Why should I reach for these
Questioning the pursuit of outdated assurances once again.
Old outdated guarantees
Rejecting reliance on old and unreliable guarantees.
When I can just write what I know
Reaffirming the power of personal expression over conventions.
Look at me
Celebrating personal achievement and reaching a desired state.
Made it here
Expressing contentment with the current position in life.
Where I want to be
Reflecting on the arbitrary nature of judgments on success.
Who's to say, anyway
Challenging external judgments and emphasizing self-validation.
Only me, only me
Assertion of personal agency and decision-making.
Driving but I don't know where to go
Reiteration of feeling lost and directionless while driving.
My book of life is losing pages
Continuation of the metaphor of life as a book losing pages.
Flying high and low
Experiencing highs and lows in the ongoing journey.
Why should I reach for these
Questioning the pursuit of outdated assurances once again.
Old outdated guarantees
Rejecting reliance on old and unreliable guarantees.
When I can just write what I know
Reaffirming the power of personal expression over conventions.
Just what I know
Emphasizing the value of expressing personal knowledge and experience.
