Borrowed Time
Total Radio Silence Lyrics

Would you leave it to someone else,
Do you prefer to let others dictate your actions?

To be guided by all the rules that fall away,
To follow societal norms that are constantly changing and disappearing.

With their questioning?
With their constant doubt and uncertainty.

I couldn't be someone else,
I can only be myself and not pretend to be someone else.

With the odds of an atom in the universe,
With the overwhelming probability of chance and unpredictability.

Is it all rehearsed? I don't know.
Are we just going through the motions without any direction or purpose? Uncertainty about our path in life.

Too easy to sell yourself and
It's tempting to change who you are for the sake of pleasing others or fitting in.

Too easy to live in doubt
It's easy to second-guess yourself and your decisions.

'cos we're flying by the seat of our pants
We're living life spontaneously and without a clear plan.

On borrowed time
Awareness of the fleeting nature of life and the need to make the most of it.

You can be or fall in line
You have the choice to conform or break free from societal expectations.

I believe in a second chance,
Belief in forgiving oneself and others and giving them another opportunity.

I believe in the sex, romance and comedy
Belief in the human experience of love, relationships, and humor.

As it ought to be.
Acceptance of the idealized version of love, relationships, and laughter.

I believe in the harder route,
Belief in taking the path less traveled and challenging oneself.

and I believe if you can't make good with your honesty,
Belief that honesty is the foundation of all positive relationships.

Then you're lost at sea, in the rain.
Without honesty, one can feel lost and hopeless in the midst of negative experiences.

So easy to breath this air and,
Breathing air without thinking, taking our lives and blessings for granted.

So easy when you don't care,
It's simple to ignore or forget one's impact on the world and others.

'cos we're flying by the seat of our pants,
Living life recklessly and without caution.

On borrowed time,
Reminder of the shortness and preciousness of life.

You can be or fall in line,
The choice of following society's expectations or forging one's own path.

Semely with borrowed time.
Life is short and unpredictable, so make the most of it.
