In Search of Lyrics

Here's to living long enough to be
forgiven for the bones I broke...
I had to make a living!
But we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.
No, we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.
Father puts his foot down on my games forever,
so in the marketplace I stay calm and clever.
And we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy.

No, we won't back down from anything
in search of a remedy. (x2)

Don't regret anything.

Cover art for In Search of lyrics by Miike Snow

He is seeking redemption. Redemption from what, I'm not sure but he has wounded others in the past and he hopes simply to live long enough to balance the score. He never mentions that he wants to repair the damage, only that he wants a remedy for the pain he feels. This is an all consuming quest as he states over and over "but we won't back down from anything, in search of a remedy". Make a living can mean more than finacial profit, it can also mean anything that a person needs or wants, companions or property.
