Lifetime
Excalion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A bullet train is coming through
Rain and gasoline
Hear the melody?
Do as winners do

Life is calling my number
In this place and time
It's fine to be alive
It's fine to be alive

No need
For fortune, hope or glory
I have a lifetime
To make history

For me
It's not a game of hide and seek
I have a lifetime
That's all the time I need

A stray dog is coming through
Lost and never found
A homeless greyhound
Do as drifters do

Today no closed doors or dead ends
But open air and sun
Let it all come
Every day someone is born again




I want to be that one
Let it all come

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Excalion's song "Lifetime" speak of living life to the fullest, despite adversity and challenges. The first stanza describes the arrival of a speeding bullet train, representing the fast-paced nature of life. The rain and gasoline, despite being obstacles, cannot stop the train, and its melodic sound serves as a call to action for the listener to "do as winners do."


The second stanza is a reflection on the preciousness of life and the fact that we only have a limited time on this earth. The lyricist emphasizes that it is "fine to be alive" and that there is no need for fortune or glory in order to make a mark on history. The chorus serves as a reminder that we each have a lifetime to fulfill our potential and make a difference, and that time should not be wasted.


In the third stanza, the arrival of a stray dog represents the feeling of being lost and the struggle to find one's true purpose in life. However, the lyricist encourages the listener to "do as drifters do" and embrace the journey, rather than focusing solely on the destination. The final two lines of the song serve as a call to action, urging the listener to live each day to the fullest and be reborn anew.
