Choices
Hearts&Hands ft Alex Koehler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're living for today, not looking for tomorrow
Your choices determine where you go
not your circumstances, your the only one who knows
That I saw this coming from a thousand miles away
but it didn't make it easier, didn't make it easier
We're living with our choices,
we're dying with our choices
I've got a map of what makes me, and I wear this on my sleeve (2x)
When you wake up, you will remember every choice you swore you would forget
I saw this coming from a thousand miles away
but it didn't make it easier, didn't make it easier
We're living with our choices,
They wont let you live it down
we're dying with our choices
When I wake up, oh when I wake up
I wont remember anything
When I wake up, I will remember every choice I made.
when you wake up, you are remembered for the things you did not who you were
break the mold, of who we once were
make a choice, no more excuses
and watch us grow
Then I saw this coming from a thousand miles away
but it didn't make it easier, didn't make it easier
We're living with our choices,
They wont let you live it down
we're dying with our choices
And I wont walk away from these choices
from these choices, No!
We all choose our own roads,
we all know which way we should go,
which way will you go ?
The song Choices by Hearts&Hands ft. Alex Koehler is a poignant reminder about the importance of our everyday choices. The opening lines of the song immediately demand attention as they challenge the listener to think about who they are and where they're headed. The chorus emphasizes that our decisions have long-lasting consequences and we have to live and die with the choices we make. The song urges listeners to take responsibility for their lives and not to blame their circumstances for their failures.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of how our choices shape our identity. The line "I've got a map of what makes me, and I wear this on my sleeve" suggests that the choices we make define who we are, and we wear them as an emblem of our identity. However, the song also points out that it's not easy to live with the choices we make. Although we can't change our past decisions, we can learn from them and make better choices in the future. The final lines of the song encourage listeners to break the mold and make a choice, no more excuses, and watch as they grow.
