Lyrics
One day it hit me right between the eyes
Realization of a profound truth or impact.
Everything I’ve ever loved is someday gonna die
Recognition that everything cherished will eventually end.
The one and only constant here is time
Time as the only consistent factor in life.
And every single moment carries me closer to mine
Each moment brings the individual closer to their end.
I’m not gonna live forever
Acknowledgment of mortality and limited time.
Even now my face is lined
Evidence of aging and the passage of time.
Death’s not gonna loose the tether
Death as an inevitable reality.
I just hope he takes his time
Wishing for a slow and delayed approach of death.
I guess that I just like the ride
Enjoying the journey despite its inevitable end.
All the years I tried to be someone
Striving to define oneself over the years.
Every moment that I lived for arrived and then was done
Recognition that moments pass quickly.
With it went the feeling that I longed for
The fleeting nature of desirable emotions.
It left me alone to wait for more
Left alone, anticipating more meaningful experiences.
I’m not gonna live forever
Reiteration of mortality and aging.
Even now my face is lined
Evidence of aging and the passage of time (repeated).
Death’s not gonna loose the tether
Death as an inevitable reality (repeated).
I just hope he takes his time
Desire for a slow and delayed approach of death (repeated).
I guess that I just like the ride
Embracing life's journey despite its inevitable end (repeated).
Everything I aimed for became the thing to live for
Shift in perspective - aspirations become the purpose of life.
Always barely out of reach
Goals always seem just out of reach.
You can always hedge your bets
Suggesting strategies for dealing with life's uncertainties.
Or you can try to up your chance
Choosing to improve chances in life.
Or you can just enjoy the dance
Opting to savor the experiences of life.
I’m not gonna live forever
Reiteration of mortality and aging (repeated).
Even now my face is lined
Evidence of aging and the passage of time (repeated).
Death’s not gonna loose the tether
Death as an inevitable reality (repeated).
I just hope he takes his time
Desire for a slow and delayed approach of death (repeated).
I’m not gonna live forever
Reiteration of mortality and aging (repeated).
And I can’t pause and hit rewind
Inability to reverse or relive past moments.
Death’s not gonna loose the tether
Death as an inevitable reality (repeated).
I just hope he takes his time
Desire for a slow and delayed approach of death (repeated).
Fuck it, I just like the ride
A defiant embrace of life's journey despite uncertainties.
