First Day Of My Life
Raquel Lisbon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try a little harder, see the other side.
Talking to myself -
Too many sleepless nights,
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life.
I don't want your sympathy,
Sometimes I don't know who to be.
I
No one has the answer -
They just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first
Day of my life
So I found a reason
To let it go
Tell you that I'm smiling
But I still need to grow.
Will I find salvation in the arms of love?
Will it stop me searching? Will it be enough?
I don't want your sympathy.
Sometimes I don't know who to be.
Hey what ya looking for?
No one has the answer, but you just want more
Hey who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first day of my life.
The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain
Hey, what ya looking for?
No one has the answer - we just want more
Hey, who's gonna make it back?
This could be the first day of your life.
Hey what ya looking for?
No one has the answer they just want more...
Hey, who's gonna shine a light?
This could be the first day of my life...
The lyrics to Raquel Lisbon's song "First Day Of My Life" explore themes of struggle, perseverance, and self-discovery. The song begins with the singer expressing her desire to find a reason to stay alive and see the other side of her troubles. The next verse continues with the singer's inner dialogue as she tries to make sense out of her life and find meaning. However, despite her struggles, she does not want sympathy from others, and sometimes she is not even sure who she wants to be.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Hey what ya looking for? No one has the answer - they just want more," highlighting the idea that people are often searching for something, but there is no clear answer or solution. The second half of the chorus brings some hope, as the singer wonders who will make it back, perhaps hinting at the idea that one can overcome their struggles and find a new beginning.
In the last verse, the singer reflects on finding a reason to let go and grow, possibly through finding love and salvation. She still acknowledges her struggles and uncertainty, but this could be the first day of a new life, a new beginning. The final line of the song, "Hey, who's gonna shine a light? This could be the first day of my life," leaves the listener with a sense of hope for the future.
