Roll With the Punches
Embrace Life's Rhythms: Rolling with Van Morrison's 'Roll With the Punches'
Lyrics
One thing I've learnt after all these years
Reflecting on accumulated wisdom over the years.
You're gonna save yourself a whole lot of tears
Advice to avoid future regret and heartache.
Don't try to figure out who was wrong and who was right
Discourages dwelling on assigning blame in conflicts.
Got to move along, baby
Encouragement to keep moving forward in life.
That's right, you got to roll with the punches
Emphasizes resilience in facing challenges.
Yeah, you've got to go with the flow
Suggests adapting to the natural course of events.
Roll with the punches
Reiterates the theme of overcoming adversity.
Yeah, that's one thing I know
Expresses confidence in the advice given.
No use staring at your old photograph
Advises against dwelling on past memories.
Walkin' around your neighborhood, gotta tear it in half
Symbolic act of breaking ties with the past.
Only one way you can clear your tormented mind
Suggests a method to find peace of mind.
Stop thinking she was one of a kind
Discourages idealizing a past relationship.
You've got to roll with the punches
Repeats the theme of facing challenges with resilience.
Man, you've got to go with the flow
Encourages a flexible and adaptive approach to life.
Roll with the punches

Emphasizes not placing too much importance on a past lover.
