Get A Life
Little Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say go get a life, but I've only got this one
A friend of mine who is remembered even now
Said, gotta have some fun when you see lights around
But even in the moment I can't ever get past
I can't help but wonder how long this'll last
Sometimes sweet, sometimes sad
Sometimes I'd even want to
End in the dreams that I've had
Well more than anything
As time is fading away into memories
Some which should never be
I see you now in the setting of the sun
I know you only ever need to dream when you're young
We're growing always on, by the time when it's too late
Nowhere tomorrow, cold is the day
If my life was everything I wanted it to be
Sometimes sweet, sometimes sad
Sometimes I'd even want to
End in the dreams that I've had
Well more than anything
As time is fading away into memories
Some which should never be
There's time
Come-a crack, turn back the seasons
Come-a crack (Everything knows)
The lyrics of Little Red's song Get A Life convey the theme of reflecting on life's fleeting nature and the importance of making the most of it. The song begins with an encouragement to rise and embrace life, even though its many seasons are calling. However, the singer notes that despite being told to "go get a life" they only have one life to live. The lyrics are full of nostalgia, and the singer fondly remembers their friend who emphasized having fun and living in the moment. Even though the singer acknowledges the value of these experiences, they also express uncertainty about how long they will last.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire for a life that is fulfilling and multi-faceted. They acknowledge that life brings both happy and sad moments, and reflect on the past dreams they once had. As time passes by, the singer comes to appreciate the positive memories they have made, even as they acknowledge that some memories should not be cherished. The last verse alludes to the idea that time moves quickly and moments should be cherished before it's too late.

So rise child, all your seasons yet do call
Get up and live your life because time waits for no one and you have a limited time on this earth
They say go get a life, but I've only got this one
People tell me to find something better to do, but this is the only life I have and I want to make the most of it
A friend of mine who is remembered even now
I'm thinking about a friend who has passed away but is still thought of fondly
Said, gotta have some fun when you see lights around
My friend told me to enjoy life when I have the opportunity
But even in the moment I can't ever get past
Despite my efforts, I can't seem to move on from the past
I can't help but wonder how long this'll last
I worry about how much time I have left to live
If my life was everything I wanted it to be
I wish my life was perfect, exactly how I wanted it
Sometimes sweet, sometimes sad
Life is full of ups and downs
Sometimes I'd even want to end in the dreams that I've had
Sometimes I prefer to escape reality and live in my dreams
Well more than anything
Above all else
As time is fading away into memories
Time passes quickly and memories are all that's left
Some which should never be
Some memories are painful and I wish I could forget them
I see you now in the setting of the sun
I remember you in a peaceful and beautiful moment
I know you only ever need to dream when you're young
I remember being young and thinking that dreaming was all I needed
We're growing always on, by the time when it's too late
We're always getting older and it's easy to miss the opportunity to live life to the fullest
Nowhere tomorrow, cold is the day
I don't know what the future holds and it's a scary thought
There's time
There's always time to make the most of life
Come-a crack, turn back the seasons
I wish I could go back in time and relive past moments again
Come-a crack (Everything knows)
I feel like everything around me knows something I don't
