That's The Way It Goes
Simon Webbe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day's I don't know how I got here
It's been a journey through the dark
I've lived the live that and no answers
The truth was always in my heart
I've spent a coin to make decisions
And still I always got it wrong
The Jeans WAS DEEP AND NOW IT'S GONE
So I say uh uh uh
That's the way it goes
I've lived to find another day
And I...uh uh uh uh uh
That's the way it goes
Life Is a game we have to play
Play on...
It's like a book that has no ending
It's like a story never told
It's like a night when your own fire
Why Goes the morning feel so cold?
Feels like I'm trapped inside a circle
AND though I plan my great escape
IT'S like come back AT where I've started
The only thing I have is space
[Chorus]
Play on...
Oh, you know we have to play
Na na na na na na
It feels like I'm intraped inside a circle although I plan my
Great escape
Looks like I back at where I've started
The only thing I have is space
That's the way it goes...
The song "That's The Way It Goes" by Simon Webbe is a reflective piece on the unpredictable nature of life. The lyrics convey the idea that life is a complicated journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. The artist admits that sometimes he doesn't even know how he got to a particular point in his life, and that he has lived a life full of uncertainties and unanswered questions. Furthermore, he acknowledges that he has made mistakes and spent money on bad decisions, yet he has always hoped to avoid any negative consequences. However, despite his efforts, he has endured several bumps along the way. The artist also remarks that life is like a never-ending book without a conclusion or a night without day. It results in the feeling that he is trapped in a circle, and even though he tries to escape, he always returns to where he started. Hence, the only thing he has left is space.
The chorus "That's the way it goes" is a powerful phrase, and it reflects an understanding of the unpredictability of life that not everything can always go according to plan. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes that life is always changing, and it necessitates the need to adapt. Even though there is not much that can be done to control the unpredictability of life, the song's message is hopeful. The line "I've lived to find another day" shows that there is always a chance to start again and to face life's challenges head-on.
