DAY BY DAY
Tall Ships Lyrics

And there we were
At that moment in time, we were present and experiencing everything happening around us

The two young titans at odds with our world
As young, ambitious individuals, we were faced with challenges and obstacles that made us feel like we were fighting against the world

Surrounded by things
Being in that environment, we were encompassed by various, tangible elements

Useless shit we could live without
The useless things around us weren't necessary for us to survive, and we realized we could live happily without them

We were an island
We felt isolated and cut off from the rest of the world

Getting trashed on all sides
Despite feeling isolated, we were constantly bombarded from all directions, making it difficult to hold on or stay grounded

By an ocean of sold fears and doubts
We were surrounded by a vast body of manufactured anxiety and uncertainty that was being sold to us

There's no escape
We couldn't avoid or break free from the pressures and challenges of life

From all the pressures in your life
The multitude of demands and expectations placed on us by society and ourselves

And all the pain that follows you around from day to day
Constant emotional or physical discomfort that persists and weighs us down

Then you know it's time
Once we realize how inescapable these challenges are, we understand that it's necessary to make a change

To redefine why it is you live your life
We need to examine and reassess our motivations for living to find deeper meaning and purpose

'Cause you said it all
Without using any words, we communicated everything we needed to say

In that look you threw
The expression on our face conveyed our message silently and powerfully

Across this crowded room
Even in a crowded or busy environment, we were able to communicate clearly with each other

And it said we need to do something
The message conveyed through our expression was that we needed to take action to change our situation

Before we get too old
We realized that time is fleeting, and we need to take action before it's too late

'Cause when you don't believe in anything at all
When we lack a sense of purpose or belief, life becomes meaningless

It's up to you to save yourself
To overcome this feeling of emptiness, it's our responsibility to take action and make positive changes

Find a escape, find a place where everything will be okay
We need to find a way out of our current situation and create a positive environment for ourselves

Where all the pressure in our lives will fall away
This new environment should be free from the negative influence of external pressures and stressors

And give ourselves the time
We need to make time for ourselves to make this change and allow ourselves to grow

To redefine why it is we live our lives
Through introspection, we can understand our true purpose for living and make decisions accordingly

And start living again
We can begin a new chapter in our lives full of purpose and meaning

So place your hand in mine
Together, we can face and overcome any challenge

And we'll walk away
We will leave our old lives behind and embrace what's ahead

We'll break all ties
We will sever negative relationships that hold us back or bring us down

Quit these jobs we hate
We will free ourselves from jobs that only serve to make us miserable

'Cause this time is our's
We realize that our time and our lives belong to us, and we have the power to shape them

There's so little to waste
We understand that life is short and valuable, and we don't want to waste a moment of it

And we can't forget
We must remember and be aware of the fact that our lives will eventually come to an end

We will die one day
Death is an inevitable part of life, and we must make the most of the time we have

Let go of it all and sing
We must release our burdens and find joy in the simple pleasures in life

These futile little worries
Our insignificant and unimportant concerns that occupy our thoughts and distract us from what's truly important

Along with me
Together, we will let go of these worries and embrace the present moment

'Cause it's all we've got
The present moment is all we have, and we must cherish it

We've no need to pretend
We don't have to hide or pretend to be someone we're not, we can be ourselves

'Cause with only love can we face the end
When our lives come to a close, the only thing that truly matters is the love we experienced and shared
