Is this the Life Lyrics
Following around to see a life thats never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though its not been there since yesterday
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps thats why It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though its never quite at home in the world today
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though its not been there since yesterday
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps thats why It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw

fucking awesome song from a fucking weird band !
and the solo wwwwwwwwwoooooooo!
I always saw this song as someone looking for a purpose but not finding it. They're trying to find social contact, but end up being shut in: calling themselves on their own phone. Despite putting care into planning their day carefully with attention and hope, it never quite feels purposeful. This isn't just confirmed in the second verse, but also in the line later on where Tim sings: 'looking so hard for a cause and i don't care what it is'. On top of that, this person also doesn't really understand why this is happening to them. Why they feel isolated, why they feel so out of place and purposeless. That's why they never really saw.
