We all lookin’ for something.
“We live like there ain’t no tomorrow
No regrets, no time for the sorrow
Keep movin one foot in front of the other
We all looking for something Hey, hey, hey” – We Live by Rehab
I am officially in LOVE with this song. It describes my very soul…the soul that is truly lost in this world. Music lights my path, without it..I would have no direction. But the real reason this is the song I chose to quote? It spells out my life right now.
I’ve done some fucked up shit in my life…I once told my dad that I hoped that he and my stepmom lost the baby she was carrying. Now..everytime I look at my little sister..my Sunshine..I have to deal with that guilt. I think its the only thing I truly regret. Now..I can’t afford to regret anything. I don’t have that luxury. Not anymore.
So I live exactly how this song describes. Let me post all the lyrics for you:
“We Live”[Hook:]
We live like there ain’t no tomorrow
No regrets, no time for the sorrow
Keep movin one foot in front of the other
We all looking for something Hey, hey, heyI’m in the center lane on a freeway
My radiator blown on a 100 degree day
And I’m more in a hurry than I was before
And once again the whole world is in my way
So this is earth and I’m stuck here
Where profanity pours from faces like mine
And the only thing that we’re sure of is
Is we’re runnin out of money, patience and time
One step forward and two steps back
And we’re wishin for a future, reminiscing on a flashback
Chasin a dream, hopin it exists
And we’re grittin our teeth and clinchin our fists
[Hook:]
We live like there ain’t no tomorrow
No regrets, no time for the sorrow
Keep movin one foot in front of the other
We all looking for something Hey, hey, hey
Am I crazy, maybe. my brain be gravy
Insane the days we have witnessed lately
It pains my greatly someone could hate me
Maybe they were lied to as babies too
Can’t see logic, we camouflage it
Technology allows us to dip and dodge it
Wit magic gadgets, wires and magnets
We’re standin stagnant and thinking backwards
A whole of bunch of nothing is in our way?
[Hook:]
We live like there ain’t no tomorrow
No regrets, no time for the sorrow
Keep movin one foot in front of the other
We all looking for something Hey, hey, hey
Do you see it? How this song applies to life today? How..even in love..I can’t regret doing anything? Everything is done for a reason..so..let’s apply this logic.
example 1- Brown
I love him so much. What if I actually regretted falling for him as I did? How the hell would that have worked? I was looking for someone like him..someone who actually loved me too…and if I regretted that..then I’d still be out there..looking..and never seeing it.
example 2- Moving away from my dad.
If I hadn’t…Sunshine..my sweet little sister, would be exposed to the animal inside me. She wouldn’t be so sweet and innocent anymore. I would have turned her into..a little me…a little monster…*shudders*Monster…is that what I am? Yes…a monster…
And the only thing I can regret..is screaming that at my dad. Verbally no..never..but I thought it so loudly, I swear he heard me.
And have I truly found what I wanted? Someone to love me…for being me? My friends have begun including me in so much now…I’ve yet to feel left out since I’ve been with Brown. We all lookin’ for something..thats what the song say. So Have I found what I’ve been looking for?
