With the fusion of electronics and classy pop-punk, ABANDONED BY BEARS were not limited by the frames music is typically written. “We don't follow the norm or what is right or wrong, we follow what we think sounds good. Our songwriting process is very unorthodox in a way, since we record everything ourselves, we can basically decide when we want to record and that gives us a type of freedom which shines through in the songs. All of us have the ability to play and understand each others instruments, so everyone writes, whether it’d be melodies, lyrics, guitar leads or drum fills.”

Abandoned By Bears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find our way
As we slowly let our days slip away
Get up!
Let's go!
So give me a chance to prevent us from failing again
For each and everyday
That's passing by
I get further away from what I set out to be
My wasted days only reflect bad ways
I'll count my losses once again
In the song Search & Find by Abandoned By Bears, the lyrics speak to the struggle of finding one's purpose and direction in life. The opening line, "We cut our teeth, trying to find our way," is a metaphor for the difficulty of learning, growing, and overcoming obstacles. The next line, "As we slowly let our days slip away," suggests that despite our efforts, time continues to pass and we can feel overwhelmed by it.
The following lines, "Get up! Let's go! So give me a chance to prevent us from failing again," are a call to action and a plea for help. The singer acknowledges their own past failures, but is determined to keep trying and to make something of their life. The repeated phrase, "Prevent us from failing again," emphasizes the fear and anxiety that accompanies each new attempt.
Finally, the chorus acknowledges the reality of time passing and the struggle to stay focused on one's goals. "For each and every day that's passing by, I get further away from what I set out to be," speaks to the frustration of feeling like we're not making progress, or even losing ground. The closing lines, "My wasted days only reflect bad ways, I'll count my losses once again," suggest regret and self-doubt, but also resilience and determination to keep trying.

We cut our teeth
We started out as inexperienced beginners
Trying to find our way
We were attempting to navigate through life and figure out our purpose
As we slowly let our days slip away
Despite our efforts, it felt like time was passing by too quickly and we weren't achieving much
Get up!
We need to take action and make progress towards our goals
Let's go!
We need to start moving forward and not get stuck in our current state
So give me a chance to prevent us from failing again
We're asking for an opportunity to avoid making the same mistakes again
Prevent us from failing again
We want to avoid repeating past failures
For each and everyday
Every day
That's passing by
That is slipping away
I get further away from what I set out to be
We're realizing that we're not becoming the person we hoped to be and are drifting further from that vision
My wasted days only reflect bad ways
When we look back on our past, it appears that we didn't use our time wisely and made poor choices
I'll count my losses once again
We'll take stock of our past failures and losses, in order to learn from them and improve in the future
