Life Left To Go
SafetySuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes the edge serves
As more than a friend
Than you thought it would be
And the pages you write
In your journal each night
Are your only release
And the mask you put on
It?s like words in a song
But there's more to be seen
And the failures you see
Don't seem failures to me here at all
Oh, I'm begging you, no
There's more life left to go
Oh, I'm begging you, please
?Cause I don't want you to leave
Alone as you walk
Through a crowd and it?s awkward
Like nobody sees
And you can't help but wonder
Would anyone come after you
If you'd leave
So a pain grows inside
And a fear comes alive
Like you'll never be free
But there's no pain you feel
That I know love can't heal here at all
Oh, I'm begging you, no
There's more life left to go
Oh, I'm begging you, please
?Cause I, I don't want you to leave me
To leave me here on my own
There's nothing to run from
Oh, there's nothing but fear inside you
Oh, I just hope I can find you
And tell you that I know you'll smile again
Oh, I'm begging you, no
More life left to go
Oh, I'm begging you, please
?Cause I don't want you to leave
In SafetySuit's song "Life Left To Go," the lyrics talk about being on the edge, feeling alone, and the importance of life. The first verse talks about how sometimes being on the edge can be a good thing, in that it can push you to do things you never thought possible. However, it also highlights how the pages of someone's journal can be their only way of expressing their feelings and thoughts. The mask they may put on for the world may only be hiding the pain they're feeling.
The chorus is a plea to the person who may be suffering, begging them not to give up on life. The singer assures them that there's still much more life to be lived and that they shouldn't leave. The second verse speaks to feeling alone in a crowded room and wondering if anyone would care if they were to leave. The pain and fear can feel like they'll never go away, but the singer assures the person that love can heal all pains.
The bridge speaks to a hope that the person feeling down will smile again. The overall message of the song is about the necessity of life and how it's so important not to give up on it.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes the edge serves
Occasionally the boundary of your comfort zone will have more to offer than you initially thought
As more than a friend
In ways that are beyond supportive, even nurturing, in which a friend normally would be
Than you thought it would be
More beneficial than you expected it to be
And the pages you write
The written form gives you a sense of comfort
In your journal each night
Where you confide personal thoughts and feelings, and find solace in its security
Are your only release
The only means by which you can be open and honest without judgment
And the mask you put on
The facade you wear to conceal your emotions
It?s like words in a song
It's an outward projection of a message or feeling you hide within yourself
But there's more to be seen
There is more to discover about a person other than their public persona
And the failures you see
The shortcomings that torment you
Don't seem failures to me here at all
They don't appear to be flaws or missteps to me at all
Oh, I'm begging you, no
I implore you to stay, to not give up
There's more life left to go
There are more experiences to have, more memories to make, more moments to cherish
Oh, I'm begging you, please
I plead with you to hold on, to stay alive
?'Cause I don't want you to leave
I care about you deeply and would be devastated if you were gone
Alone as you walk
Loneliness, and feeling invisible to others
Through a crowd and it?s awkward
Despite being surrounded by others, there is a feeling of detachment and discomfort
Like nobody sees
The sense that no one is paying attention to, or recognizes, the pain and distress you are experiencing
And you can't help but wonder
Speculating about the thought that no one would actively search for you if you were to disappear
Would anyone come after you
Does anyone genuinely care enough to notice your absence and look for you?
If you'd leave
If you were to end your life, would people lament or abandon you?
So a pain grows inside
The distress deepens and intensifies
And a fear comes alive
The fear that you may never overcome the emotional turmoil you're experiencing or rectify the challenges in your life
Like you'll never be free
The sense that you are forever trapped in feelings of sadness and despondence
But there's no pain you feel
There is no emotional hurt or distress experienced
That I know love can't heal here at all
Love is the correcting and soothing force you need to recover, and I will support you and love you through your difficulties
To leave me here on my own
Abandoning me to face the adversity of losing you
There's nothing to run from
There is no reason to try to escape or hide from your emotions or problems, for they can be addressed with time and support
Oh, there's nothing but fear inside you
You are paralyzed by anxiety and misgivings
Oh, I just hope I can find you
I hope I can offer you the compassion you need and influence you positively
And tell you that I know you'll smile again
I am confident that you will return to a state of happiness and contentment
More life left to go
There are more adventures, memories, and precious moments you're yet to experience in the future
