Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Left" by Up Front is about the struggles and perseverance of life. The lyrics "We are the days of a life, the brilliance of things that exist" suggest that we are the living embodiments of the experiences and beauty of the world around us. The song acknowledges that we are going to fall at times, but we need to get back up and keep moving forward. The line "I doubt there's ever been a greater gift given to anyone" implies that life itself is a gift and it is up to us to make the most of it.
The song suggests that all we need is a little more time and a little push to achieve our goals. This is manifest in the line "maybe another place so we could get away with just a little push I bet we could take this hill". However, the song also suggests that we need to be at peace with ourselves and quiet the noise in our minds and hearts. The line "still we need ourselves to pacify the screaming in our own minds and illuminate the darkness in our own hearts" suggests that before we can achieve our goals, we need to overcome our internal struggles.
The final line of the chorus "and express the feelings that we hold inside we'd better try to understand" suggests that communication and understanding are key to living a fulfilling life. The song encourages us to seek to understand ourselves and others, and to share our feelings and experiences openly.
