Losing My Senses Lyrics
One man speaking the truth
No one likes when it fits
So we tell soothing lies
And betray our own lips
The uncivilized world
And its people decay
Once sweet breeze is defiled
Sucking our breath away
Fill Solos - Mustaine
Yesterday's answers has nothing to do
With today's questions
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards…
I'm losing my senses, I'm losing my senses
Fill Solos - Mustaine
We watch as the living all die
Contemplating if we should
Ever open our eyes
If all that we touch
Keeps turning to sand
We will cease to exist
Till the last living man
Fill Solos - Mustaine
Yesterday's answers has nothing to do
With today's questions
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forward…
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forward…
I'm losing my senses
Fill Solos - Mustaine / Solo - Pitrelli
Yesterday's answers has nothing to do
With today's questions
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards…
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards…
Fill Solos and Synth - Mustaine

No one likes when it fits
So we tell soothing lies
And betray our own lips
And its people decay
Once sweet breeze is defiled
Sucking our breath away
With today's questions
But must be lived forwards…
I'm losing my senses, I'm losing my senses
Contemplating if we should
Ever open our eyes
Keeps turning to sand
We will cease to exist
Till the last living man
With today's questions
But must be lived forward…
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forward…
I'm losing my senses
With today's questions
But must be lived forwards…
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards…
String Arrangement - Suzie Katayama

How we live and make mistakes only then understand how we should live.. but after is too late.. and it always happens like that...always... 'Yesterday's answers has nothing to do With today's questions'

I like this a lot

perilsofbeing is exactly right.
"Life can only be understood in reverse But must be lived forwards"
This means that when we look back on things we realize what we should've done and what was best but when we face them in the present we just have to take is as we go

I always thought he said "Life can only be understood in reverse, but must be lived for worth." Either way I got the same meaning out of it, except that I thought he was explaining that it was necessary to live it.
I like Mustain's lyrics better.
