Life on Earth Lyrics
The first snow
First winter of my life
I was told it was the height of me
The first dance
Well, the first one that counted
Felt like my blood was built my from crackling lights
Oh this ancient wildness
That we don't understand
The first sound of a heartbeat
To riots roaring on
This is not the love you've had before
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
The first light
First light on the silent shore
Just the ships at anchor me and you
The way home
This is always the way home
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
But all we ever wanted
To see miles and miles from here
And the first days in a strange new land
Awaken beasts in us
This is not the love you've had before
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
This shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
First winter of my life
I was told it was the height of me
The first dance
Well, the first one that counted
Felt like my blood was built my from crackling lights
That we don't understand
The first sound of a heartbeat
To riots roaring on
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
First light on the silent shore
Just the ships at anchor me and you
The way home
This is always the way home
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
To see miles and miles from here
And the first days in a strange new land
Awaken beasts in us
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth

This is the lead singers favorite of his songs. It was his redemption from writers block and a reminder of what he is capable of. The song means alot. Every line has a world of interpretation but above all, the artist finds frustration with the complexity that we make of our experiences on earth. The moral obligations we tie ourselves to and how irrational we are willing to become as human beings to defend our beliefs. Living our lives shouldnt be so fucking hard. Simply put. Ladies and gentlement, we're overthinking it.
