They have the heart of at least 10 champion bull fighters. And these boys play hard, like a rock, which is rather appropriate because they're a rock band. Not so unlike a finely aged wine, it's clear that they just keep getting better with age.
Resolution
Reckless Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But were tempted to forget it all
Another year older while we've grown no wiser
Let's wake in time to catch the sunlight right before it retreats behind the tree line
Half the world is waiting for a chance to catch their breath
While you're lying in your bed smoking all your cigarettes
And you're wondering if your life will ever be worth it
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We chose to waste away another year
We're sickened by the thought
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We want to make amends but we're so shaken by the cost
Half the world was sleeping while we laid awake in bed
We were thinking the resolutions that we made in our heads
How beautifully spoken but how easily broken
We kept them as tokens for proof of better days
Oh we got chills despite the heat wave that kept us in our homes
It felt just like new years day and I did not want to be alone, ah
And it felt like being new, after years of being used, oh
It felt like truth had just shown through
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We chose to waste away another year
We're sickened by the thought
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We want to make amends but we're so shaken by the cost
It's like we've been sleeping for years
Caught in a daze that has kept us here
It's like we've been sleeping for years but we just woke up
(Happy New Year, Hallelujah)
It's like we've been dead for years
Stunted by debilitating fears
It's like we've dead years but we just woke up
(Happy New Year, Hallelujah)
We picked ourselves up off the floor
We found what we were looking for
We kicked the fucking door down and screamed
(Happy New New Year, Hallelujah)
It's the first time in a long time, happy New Year
It's the first time I've seen sunlight, happy New Year
It's the first time in a long time, happy New Year
It's the first time I've seen sunlight, happy New Year
The song "Resolution" by Reckless Serenade speaks about the fleeting nature of time and how easy it is to waste it away. The lyrics evoke a feeling of regret over the missed opportunities and unfulfilled resolutions made in the past. The song is essentially an introspective conversation between the singer and himself, with the former acknowledging the fact that another year has passed, and the latter ruminating on the state of his life.
The first stanza talks about the transition from summer to fall and the temptation to forget everything that has happened. The singer then reflects on the fact that despite growing older, there's been no real growth from within. The second stanza brings in a comparison between the singer's situation and that of half the world, which is waiting for a chance to catch their breath. The line "And you’re wondering if your life will ever be worth it" is a poignant reminder of how easy it is to fall into despair and self-doubt. In the chorus, the singer tries to absolve himself of blame by saying that it's not his fault that he chose to waste another year. Finally, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the realization that they've been dead for years, but they're finally waking up to the possibilities of life.
