That's The Way It Goes
Webbe Simon 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 contemplative and introspective ballad that speaks of the struggles and uncertainties in life. Through the lyrics, the singer acknowledges the difficulties and challenges that he has faced, acknowledging that he doesn't always know how he got where he is, and has been on a journey through the dark. He is a seeker of truth, yet he knows that he may not always have the answers right in front of him. The truth is always in his heart, but sometimes he must spend a coin to make decisions, and he still ends up making the wrong decisions.
Through the chorus of the song, "That's the way it goes," Simon Webbe conveys the message that life is unpredictable - full of ups and downs, and that often we do not know what lies ahead. We must take the good with the bad and live to find another day. The singer seems to have come to terms with the fact that life is like a game we have to play, and it is up to us to move forward despite the obstacles.
Furthermore, in the second verse, the lyrics compare life to a book that has no ending or a story that is never told. The night is long, and the morning often feels cold, adding to the feelings of despair and hopelessness. The singer feels like he is trapped inside a circle, where he plans his great escape, but he ends up back where he started. All he has is space, and he must keep playing on.
In conclusion, "That's The Way It Goes" is a reflective and emotional song that speaks of the uncertainties and trials of life. The song conveys the message to keep on keeping on, even when all seems lost. It encourages the listener to keep playing, even when the stakes are high, as life is a game we have to play.
