Ever Since
Drugstore Fanatics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever since I was a child
You know I'd lay down, I would just lay and
Dream of growing up in time
In time to realize what was mine

I never could have aswered why
Just why I'd lay down, you know I'd lay and
Dream about the future I
Gave up since I became the child

A passive motion is my own part
The days go by
I just can't focus on what I've left
Or gained now since I'm with you

But tomorrow I'll be gone

You pull me back so I won't drift further away
The race I live through has full existance today

So bruised and dusty
I keep walking there
Reminded that today is today
Thought any day could be

Just wake that side of me

Ever since I was a child
You know I'd lay down, I would just lay and
Keep my dreams and hopes alive
And that I hope you'll see in time

I guess I'll never answer why
Just why I'd lay down, you know I'd lay and




Do what I was told each time
I guess it comes with begin the child

Line by Line Meaning

Ever since I was a child
From a young age, I had dreams of the future


You know I'd lay down, I would just lay and
I would spend time thinking and imagining


Dream of growing up in time
My dream was to grow up and achieve my ambitions


In time to realize what was mine
When I grew up, I hoped to discover my own potential


I never could have answered why
I didn't understand why I had these thoughts and aspirations


Just why I'd lay down, you know I'd lay and
I would spend hours daydreaming and contemplating


Dream about the future I
My mind was preoccupied with fantasies of my future


Gave up since I became the child
As I grew up, I began to abandon my dreams and conform to societal expectations


A passive motion is my own part
I didn't actively pursue my goals, but instead let life happen to me


The days go by
Time passes without me taking action towards my aspirations


I just can't focus on what I've left
I struggle to remember what I've already accomplished


Or gained now since I'm with you
My mind is preoccupied with thoughts of my significant other, distracting me from my goals


But tomorrow I'll be gone
My time is limited, and I fear not achieving my ambitions before it's too late


You pull me back so I won't drift further away
You keep me grounded and focused on my goals so I don't lose sight of them


The race I live through has full existence today
My journey towards my goals is happening right now, and I must actively participate in it


So bruised and dusty
Despite my struggles and setbacks, I continue on


I keep walking there
I persist in the pursuit of my dreams


Reminded that today is today
I remind myself to focus on the present and take action towards my goals today


Thought any day could be
I believe that any day has the potential to be the day I achieve my dreams


Just wake that side of me
I hope that someone or something will inspire me and rekindle my passion towards my goals


Keep my dreams and hopes alive
Despite the difficulties of life, I maintain my optimistic perspective and continue to hope for the future


And that I hope you'll see in time
I hope that others will eventually understand my perspective and appreciate my journey


I guess I'll never answer why
I may never fully understand why I have these dreams and aspirations


Do what I was told each time
I often followed the expectations of others, even if it went against my own desires


I guess it comes with begin the child
Conforming to societal expectations is a common experience of childhood
