The lyrics of "Little By Little" by Groove Armada (with Richie Havens) suggest an introspective journey to find oneself and living life to the fullest. The chorus encourages the listener to give up, live it up and give it away, emphasizing the need to let go of material possessions and instead focus on the present moment. The repetition of "today" reinforces the importance of cherishing every moment in life.
The verse "Perhaps we're on our way, perhaps we've gone too far, perhaps we should slow down, and be where we really are" is particularly poignant. It acknowledges the possibility of getting lost in life or straying from one's path. The line "be where we really are" could be interpreted as a call to be present and mindful, instead of being distracted or consumed by superficial things.
Overall, "Little By Little" is a reminder to be grateful for every moment and to live life authentically, on our own terms.
