Jim Kerr who wrote the lyrics once posted the meaning on Facebook. This was his post:-\n\nI’m not looking to change anything. No amount of guilt can change what has already happened anyway.\nNevertheless, I do understand that during my younger years my intensity was sometimes difficult for others to put up with.\nI thought I was merely being determined - and that that was a good thing. Still do.\nWhat is the alternative when the odds against you achieving even the smallest amount of all you have hoped for, are stacked so high that people advised. “It might be better not to dream so big.”\nSame types were always too ready to give the warning. “Beware that light at the end at the end of the tunnel you think you see - it might be a freight train coming your way. Etc.”\nWell, struggling to hold ‘my universe’ together as often I was back then. I’d rather have met that train head on than surrender hope.\nBeing ‘yourself’ in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is an accomplishment.\nMy obsession with that kind of thinking took shape as the lyrical theme behind our first release ‘Life In A Day.’
