Mistakes
Reflections of Life's Twists: The Vapour Veils' Mistakes Unveiled
Lyrics
I wanted to study and get a job that wouldn't enslave me
I aspired for an education and job that wouldn't trap me.
Instead I'm working hours in a bar, writing songs about nothing
Instead, I find myself working long hours in a bar, creating songs with no significant meaning.
You spend your days making the money roll and your weekends down in Margate
You dedicate weekdays to earning money and weekends to leisure in Margate.
Middleclass dads who drug it up to give their weekends some meaning
Reference to middle-class fathers using drugs to add significance to their weekends.
Oh, you'll never see it
There are aspects of life you won't perceive.
You'll never understand
There are facets of my life that you won't comprehend.
Every little thing I never said
Regret for things left unsaid.
Every litte thing I never did
Regret for actions not taken.
Everything I can't do again
Expressing inability to undo past actions.
Here's to my mistakes
Celebrating and acknowledging personal mistakes.
Every little thing that I did say
Regret for words spoken in the past.
Every little thing that I did
Regret for past actions.
Everything that can't be unmade
Recognizing irreversible consequences.
Here's to all my mistakes
Toast to embracing and learning from all mistakes.
I drink too much these days, oh I know, or so she tells me
Acknowledging excessive drinking and awareness of it.
I wanted a beautiful wife and kids who would adore me
Desire for a family but facing disappointment in reality.
Hearts I broke and lips I kissed, a friend I never called
Reflecting on broken hearts, unfulfilled promises, and neglected friendships.
We take the drugs to make us numb, to feel nothing at all
Turning to drugs to numb emotions and escape feeling altogether.
Oh, you'll never see it
Reiteration that certain aspects remain hidden to others.
You'll never understand me
Expressing the difficulty of being truly understood.
Every little thing I never said
Regret for unspoken words.
Every litte thing I never did
Regret for neglected actions.
Everything I can't do again
Feeling unable to redo certain things.
Here's to my mistakes
Celebrating the acknowledgment of personal mistakes.
Every little thing that I did say
Regret for spoken words in the past.
Every little thing that I did
Reflecting on past actions with remorse.
Everything that can't be unmade
Acknowledging the permanence of certain choices.
Here's to all my mistakes
Toasting to accepting and learning from all mistakes.
Every little thing I never said
Regret for unexpressed thoughts.
Every litte thing I never did
Remorse for neglected actions.
Everything I can't do again
Feeling incapable of repeating certain actions.
Here's to my mistakes
Celebrating the acceptance of personal mistakes.
Every little thing that I did say
Regret for words spoken in the past.
Every little thing that I did
Remorse for past actions.
Everything that can't be unmade
Acknowledging the irreversibility of certain consequences.
Here's to all my mistakes
Toasting to embracing and learning from all mistakes.
