Lifetime
Shanti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Lifetime" by Shanti is a poignant and deeply introspective examination of the ups and downs of life, as well as the resilience and determination that is required to see it through. The lyrics exhibit a sense of vulnerability and honesty, as the singer reflects on her struggles with feeling lost, uncertain, and worn down by life's challenges. However, even in the midst of these difficulties, the singer exhibits a sense of strength and perseverance, repeatedly asserting that she will make it through, no matter what.
Throughout the song, the singer describes her struggles with sleep, her tendency to sometimes lose her balance and stumble, and her uncertainty about the future. Yet even in the face of these challenges, she remains committed to persisting, to continuing on, and to taking life one day at a time. She acknowledges that living a lifetime takes time and that it won't always be easy, but ultimately, she trusts that she will be fine and that she will make it through.
The song's chorus asserts that even when faced with dead-ends and obstacles, it is important to keep going, to start again, and to never give up. The singer relies on the support and encouragement of others, turning to someone who knows just what to say to help calm her fears and doubts. Together, they affirm that despite the difficulties, they will make it through, come what may.
