Open Season
Josef Salvat Lyrics

We used to have it all planned
We used to think that we had our future all figured out and under control.

We thought we knew what it all looked like
We were confident that we knew exactly how our lives were going to turn out.

We were looking out on the greatest view
Our dreams were big, and the possibilities for our future seemed endless and exciting.

We were raised to take a stand
We were brought up to have strong beliefs and opinions and to fight for what we think is right.

We were raised to keep an open mind
We were taught to be accepting of different ideas and ways of living, and to not judge others based on their differences.

We believed we'd just sail on through
We were naive enough to think that everything in life would come easily and work out in our favor.

Now I'm a hundred miles an hour
I feel like I'm moving so quickly through life that I can barely keep up with it.

Sitting in my palace without any power
Despite my material possessions and apparent success, I feel powerless and helpless in the face of life's challenges.

Alone in the dark
I feel isolated and uncertain, with no clear direction or plan to guide me forward.

Thought we could always try a bit harder
We used to believe that if we worked hard enough, we could achieve anything we wanted in life.

But if the dice don't wanna roll in your favor
Sometimes, even if you try your best, things don't work out the way you want them to.

It falls apart, the fantasy falls apart
When our dreams and plans don't come to fruition, it feels like our whole world is crumbling around us.

And this is open season
This is a time of new opportunities and challenges.

Time is up, time to be leaving
The time has come to move on from our old ways and face new challenges head-on.

Head on down this very arbitrary road
We must embrace the uncertainty of life and take whatever path is presented to us, even if it seems random or unpredictable.

Armor up, and say your prayers
We must prepare ourselves mentally and spiritually for whatever challenges lie ahead.

From underdogs and millionaires
No matter what our starting point is in life, we all face struggles and hardships.

I heard you better off on your own
Some people believe that it's better to face life's challenges alone, without relying on others for support.

But I ain't gonna face this hunt alone
I refuse to face these challenges by myself and believe that we are stronger together.

We're in this game together
We are all part of the same journey, facing the same challenges and opportunities in life.

And I believe in you
I trust and have confidence in your abilities and strengths.

And I know you believe in me too
I know that you have faith in my abilities and will support me in my endeavors.

All the faces we've forgotten
As we move forward in life, we leave behind the people and memories that were once important to us.

All the tracks we've given up
We've abandoned some of our old hopes and dreams in pursuit of new ones.

Only saw you for a moment
Some people enter our lives briefly, but still have a lasting impact on us.

No it was nowhere near enough
Although our time together was short, I still yearn for more.

But I take it as it comes
I try to accept whatever life throws my way, even if it's not what I expected or wanted.

I take it as I only can
I do my best to deal with life's challenges in the best way I know how.

I take it all, and run where it goes
I embrace all of life's experiences and try to make the most of them, wherever they may lead me.

We're only at the start
Despite the challenges we've faced so far, we still have a long way to go in life.
