APR.101 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door.
What are you hoping for, do you know?
Once we were standing still in time,
And you knew how I loved you but my spirit was free,
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
Now looking back at all we planned,
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands.
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to, do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door.
APR.101's song "U" talks about reflection and self-discovery. The first verse asks the listener whether they know where they are going in life and whether they are content with what they have experienced so far. It implies that life is a journey and asks the question of whether we are in control of where we want to go, or if we are being guided by external factors.
In the second verse, the lyrics reflect on past experiences and missed opportunities. It suggests that we often get caught up in our own fantasies and dreams and miss out on what life has to offer. It also questions why it takes so long for us to realize our mistakes, and how these mistakes can lead to sadness and regret.

Looking back at a time when we were not progressing.
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.
Pursuing dreams that were not grounded in reality.
And you knew how I loved you but my spirit was free,
Despite being in love, I still felt restless and unfulfilled.
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.
I was not taking your concerns or inquiries seriously.

How sad the answers to those questions can be?
The truth can be disappointing or disheartening.

Your video was very informative thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Tons of people have no idea how loans, financing and interest rates work, me being one of them! But now I have a better understanding of it and it only took 4:31 thanks again. I’ll have to make sure I check out the rest of your videos.

Hey Jason, do you know where I can find a loan calculator that allows principal payments calculations...for various intervals and various amounts? Most of the calculators (including the one that you suggested) only allow a fixed amount at repeating intervals. I’m looking for one where I can make a payment for $5000 and say January and then 2000 in August and then 200 extra in November, etc.

Hey Jason, any insight on this would be super helpful? I can subscribe, like as many videos as you want, etc. for help finding this.
