Dare to Live
Rotersand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can only try and dare to live
Do you see
Do you feel
Do you know
The first line of Rotersand's song Dare to Live is a statement about the inevitability of endings in life. It suggests that parting ways with people, places or experiences is an integral part of living. The following lines emphasize the importance of trying and daring to live our lives fully, despite the potential for goodbyes. The repetition of the question "Do you see, do you feel, do you know" can be interpreted as an invitation to engage with our surroundings and ourselves, to be present in the moment and to experience life to the fullest.
The song's overall message seems to be about embracing the ever-changing nature of life, taking risks, and not being afraid of losing things that may be important to us. It encourages the listener to actively participate in their own life, to dare to take chances and to be aware of all the beauty and possibility that is available to them.

on All These Moments
I'm sitting still, the shadows climb across the walls and memories creep in.
Another day there world is bleak but I did not surrender to the void within.
The play is done, the lights are down.
The quiet stage is set again. There's no one left but still the fading echoes of your voice remains.
Living by the moment, living by the rules. Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment. Living by the rules. Slowly getting better, getting over you.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to sleep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to wake alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to weep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Learning not to break alone.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you."
