[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Hoping you take that jump
But don’t fear the fall1
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hoping the crowd screams out
Screaming your name2
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad3
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have4
And I hope that you don’t suffer
But take the pain5
Hope when the moment comes you say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give6
I saw so many places7
The things that I did
With every broken bone
I swear I lived8
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup9
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain10
But until my moment comes
I’ll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did girl
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
“Hoping you take that jump but don’t fear the fall” is an appropriate opening line for this OneRepublic song about taking advantage of all of life’s opportunities fully.
While this may seem like a lyric encouraging others to seek fame, it really is simply encouraging others to live a life in the way of “carpe diem.”
OneRepublic is encouraging listeners to pursue things that have true meaning, not shallow things that are never fulfilling, even if there are risks.
OneRepublic is teaching the idea that giving 50% is never good for anybody. Don’t settle for less than 100%.
Although suffering isn’t always desirable, it cannot be eliminated entirely, so people should not allow fear to influence their decision-making.
“I owned every second that this world could give” is the perfect inspirational lyric for this inspiring song, encouraging listeners to be able to say they seized the day every day of their life.
Traveling is often associated with a fulfilling life.
The pain and failures cannot prevent someone from moving forward.
“Hope you raise your cup” means OneRepublic wants people to be able to salute the day they have lived with a smile.
Whether joy or pain, all life should be lived to the fullest with no regrets.
