Lessons Learned

Tape holds things that cannot stick and keep leftovers in the fridge while lessons learned go down the drain I can't believe in everything all the bad names gone and the good ones were all wrong

For me at least, this song is about how we are supposed to do what we can, as if that will make things the way we want or need them to be in life. Tape holds things you need stuck together, even though they're not really supposed to stick in the first place. We put leftovers int he fridge so they won't go bad, we can eat them later, kind of motherly advice, something a parent would say to their son/daughter when they get their own place for the first time. Yet, even when you do the right thing, what you're supposed to do, we don't always find fulfillment or satisfaction and these life lessons lose meaning or significance and we start to let these things go as what you expected reality to be life comes apart at the seams. You can't believe everything you were told, not just because it might not be true but because it might not make things whole or satisfying to you. People tell you to give things time, that you will get used to change or that things will get better but I feel like they are questioning this. Thinking about tomorrow, that things will become satisfying or that things will get better, does not help you in the present. Eventually you need to find what makes you whole, what satisfies you and makes your life the way you want and need it to be.
