Another Life
I Know Leopard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And find some peace of mind
On my side
But it seems like I have to try
Come to terms with why
It's okay
I'll make up for my mistakes
In another life
In another life
Cause time will get it right
I carry the burden for miles
Like a sunken knife
In my side
But I'll never be certain of why
I could make you cry
Into the night
It's okay
All of this will dissipate
In another life
In another life
In another life
Cause time will get it right
In another life
In another life
In another life
Cause time will get it right
The lyrics to "Another Life" by I Know Leopard seem to speak of regret and the search for peace and understanding in the midst of difficult circumstances.

As the song continues, the lyrics suggest that the singer is carrying a heavy burden that is causing pain and uncertainty. The line "I could make you cry into the night" suggests that the burden may be related to a relationship, possibly a romantic one. In spite of this pain, the singer seems to hold onto a sense of hope that things will be better in another life where mistakes can be made up for and time will eventually set things right.
Overall, the lyrics of "Another Life" are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of longing for resolution and a belief that time will eventually bring healing and understanding.

I had every chance to arrive
I was given every opportunity to achieve something
And find some peace of mind
And to reach a state of contentment
On my side
I thought I had everything going for me
But it seems like I have to try
But it looks like I have to work for it
Come to terms with why
I need to accept the reasons why
It's okay
It's alright
I'll make up for my mistakes
I'll make amends for the things I did wrong
In another life
In another existence
Cause time will get it right
Because time will set things straight
I carry the burden for miles
I'm weighed down by my problems for a long time
Like a sunken knife
Like an object that is deeply embedded and causes pain
In my side
In my life
But I'll never be certain of why
However, I'll never fully understand the reasons behind it
I could make you cry
I may cause you to be upset
Into the night
For a long time
All of this will dissipate
All of my problems will eventually disappear
In another life
In a different existence
Cause time will get it right
Because time will correct things
In another life
In a different existence
Cause time will get it right
Because time will fix things

Holy moly....... Best thing in the world? Yer true. Best thing in the world. Probably there isn't anything better. Well look maybe there is, but like.. It's really great is what I'm tryna say here.. Like a delicious Cappuccino I'm frothin..

I'd imagine this band and Tame Impala would get on famously with each other.
