The Draft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but over and over again
there's a pill to swallow
choose and learn where you will go
its nature is unsettling
right when you get tired, it's light.
All we can all count on is death
there's a road to follow
only one way to know
where it will take you
your eyes only see what you take them to spy
All we can all count on is death
but over and over again
you wake and you find a pill to swallow
wake and you find a road to follow
The lyrics to The Draft's "All we can count on" are reflective in nature, with a palpable sense of uncertainty and unease. At their core, they acknowledge the inevitability of death, and the endless choices we make in life. Throughout the song, there is a thread of hope, however small, that suggests that even in the face of death, there are still paths to follow and pills to take, and that life is ultimately worth living.
The repeated phrase "All we can all count on is death" creates a sense of finality, but is also somewhat comforting in its honesty. Death is the great equalizer, and perhaps by acknowledging it, we can make the most of the time that we have. The lines "choose and learn where you will go" and "only one way to know where it will take you" suggest that in life, we must make choices and take risks, without knowing where they will lead us. The uncertainty is unsettling, but it is also what makes life interesting.
The final lines, "right when you get tired, it's light" and "your eyes only see what you take them to spy" add an element of mystery to the song. There is a sense that even in our darkest moments, there is a glimmer of hope. The choices we make in life shape our perspective, and it is up to us to choose what we see.
Overall, "All we can count on" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that tackles the big questions of life and death. It reminds us that life is short, but it is also full of possibility.
