This song rocks!
The use of cities as metaphors for different points in someone’s life, and experiencing everything through easy livin’ and being down on your luck in hard times I think we have all been through.
You don’t have to follow the herd and conform, if you just live, life is still gonna throw you around, but all of that is really irrelevant, because no matter what as a person, in the end, it really doesn’t matter what you do, what you are good at, your accomplishments or failures, “We are all in this together”, meaning we are really all the same, and choosing to take the path someone or society tells you to, or you choose to your own or just let life dictate itself, it’s really all the same.
When you aren’t “scared to die” and you “look up at the sky for direction” means that you know you that you trust in your higher power, don’t sweat all the small stuff, and you accept your life without regret or resentment, something that a lot will never be able to experience.
From experience, I have had the privilege, to be a brother, son, best friend, asshole, role model, combat veteran, recovered alcoholic, and the list is yet to be written.
Go live your life, do what you think is right, don’t judge others, and know yourself, so you can’t be persuaded by another’s judgment. Succeed or fail, win or lose, it really doesn’t matter because we are all born equal, we all will die, but the basic quality of your life and all of the things we strive for are artificial, and given the chance to have even a true shift in perspective, then you can truly feel grateful for just the basics, remove the clutter, and know your purpose.
