Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I'll take what is given to me
And I'll realize I'm not going home
And after a while, when all of your currency's gone
And after a while, when all your mistakes have been made and you've tasted the carbon dioxide.

Line by Line Meaning

And I'll take what is given to me
I am willing to accept whatever comes my way without questioning or resisting it.

And I'll realize I'm not going home
I have come to terms with the fact that I am not returning to a familiar or comfortable place.

And after a while, when all of your currency's gone
At some point, when you have exhausted all of your resources and means of exchange,

And after a while, when all your mistakes have been made and you've tasted the carbon dioxide.
Once you have made all your errors and suffered the consequences, understanding the harsh reality of the situation.
