I think it's about staring a "Normal Life" (9-5 job, 2-3 kids, house in the suburbs) but knowing the pitfalls of living it (soul sucking job - 1st verse, playing catching up to the Joneses - 2nd verse, going out to socials for appearances sake - 3rd verse). And it's about staring life over, after these lessons are learned, but not having the love you started this life with originally (1st verse also,and chorus) Because of the loss of love, it is done differently, on his/her own terms, without fear (I would rather be wrong, then live in the shadows of your song). It took a while to get the full meaning, but this song just hit me like a bullet when i heard it on the radio. |
