Cover art for Another Life lyrics by Third Eye Blind

Seems to be a very personal song. I always thought it was about the period of time after his break up with Charlize Theron. He was just really bummed and a lot of things lost a lot of meaning, but eventually he turned it around and this is basically his start at a second life "another life".

oh the time goes by and I realize, that I'm alright you thought nothing would be the same but life comes 'round again quick wits and all curious all caught up in what you say and makes me grab the time before it slips away

I also view it as advice to just keep persevering and trying to find ways to make it through the tough times we all eventually have to face.
