Lyrics
I'm speeding toward a red light
I am moving quickly towards a red traffic light
'Cause my vision's gone cold
Because I've become emotionally distant or indifferent
The treasures on my right and left sides
The valuable things on my right and left can wait until I'm older
They can wait till I'm old
Delaying the pursuit of certain treasures for the future
The power of the now is gone
The importance of the present moment has faded
With my hands at ten and two
Driving with hands on the steering wheel at ten and two o'clock positions
And the flavors of my favorite song
The enjoyment of my favorite song is diminishing
Are starting to dilute
The pleasure in familiar things is losing intensity
But I'll keep
Expressing determination to continue despite challenges
Yeah I'll keep
Reaffirming the commitment to persevere
I'll keep keeping on
Continuing to persist and endure
My memories are shards of glass
My memories are fragmented and painful
And there's blood on my hands
There is guilt or responsibility for harm done
If I don't look then I don't have to understand
Avoiding understanding by avoiding looking
My hours are running out of sand
Time is running out, and life is finite
So I'll keep
Reiterating the determination to continue despite challenges
I'll just keep
Continuing to persist and endure
I'll Keep keeping on
Persisting and enduring despite difficulties
Then I put you right by my side
Placing someone important by my side while moving forward
As I'm speeding along
Continuing to move quickly
And I tried to believe that everything would be alright
Having tried to believe that everything will be okay
But I'm afraid I was wrong
Realizing that the belief was mistaken or misguided
See you're the moon and stars above my head
Describing someone as significant, like the moon and stars
But look up I refuse
Refusing to look up, possibly avoiding confronting reality
There'll be time for nothing when I'm dead
Acknowledging the limited time left in life
So what's there left to do?
Contemplating what actions remain
I guess keep
Reaffirming the determination to continue despite challenges
I'll just keep
Continuing to persist and endure
Keep keeping on
Persevering despite difficulties
I'll just keep
Continuing to persist
Always keep
Committing to always persevere
I'll keep keeping on
Persisting and enduring despite challenges
