The song is about songwriting. The art is personified as a woman who the persona is madly in love with. He had earlier on just finished writing a 10th album, which he says "is sounding right." Now it's onto the 11th, and it's "time to focus on the rhymes" since "we got just one short life." Because time is passing by, despite the many songs "they" have written together, they are determined to write even more, stockpiling them for the future. "The past is gone and will never be again," and "all we have is the here and now," a moment which might easily be missed if it's not seized. "There's nothing left to do," and "nothing else to do," let's us know that he has abandoned himself to his art, and finds the meaning of his existence in it. Verse 2 is a romantic description of his love for the art. He has "never seen a girl with such fire in her eyes," and she makes him lose his focus when she smiles. Songwriting has taken him to heights he never dreamt he would find, and opened up to him a whole different dimension full of nothing but pure bliss. It's a craft he finds tremendous fulfillment from; the best way he thinks he can spend his "one short life."

In the mid 80s until the mid-90s I was really into grunge music. Bands like tad, Green River, mudhoney, Pearl jam, Mother Love Bone, and Nirvana just to name some of them. So yesterday I wrote this lyric thinking back to when I was a teenager, and knew some of these guys in school that were like my lyric. I was a jock / athlete if you don't know what jock means. I definitely like the smoke pot before school, during school and after school but I wasn't an outcast, didn't wear black, and didn't see the world in such a dark way. Lyric is about that type of teenager, who's angry, full of frustration, is rebellious, and just wants a way out of the town he's living in the Life he's living in but doesn't know how. That's definitely a dangerous thing for this type of teenager.

This lyric is about music, and the voices that sing it. Music is always been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. As a little boy I used to sit and listen to Neil diamond, Elton John, Roberta flack, and as I got older, heavier rock and roll. I have a lot of different genres of music that I listen to and get inspired by. But there are some voices that just melt me, bring tears to my eyes. There are lyrics that do the same thing, and it inspires me to write. I only wish I could write like that. But without music and without words I don't know what I would do, so I'm so grateful that it has a big part in my life.

This lyric is about me leaving somebody that I really loved, but I had to do it, and I couldn't even say goodbye. I used the boat in a metaphorical way, to just sail Away and not look back. Life can be cruel and joyful the same time and I always wondered why I couldn't be the latter more than the former. I've had my share of cruel times in my life, as well as joyful. It just seems like the former has overtaken the latter. I know a lot of it has to do with my own choices, but other stuff is not my fault. I didn't ask to be born with ADHD, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and anxiety. I've logged to find someone who understands me, and accepts me for who I am, but my choices with relationships has never been good. This lyric is another example of someone that I picked, and that I really loved, but was mature enough to know that I needed to leave it.

This lyric is about a love lost.... I'm not talking directly to the person, I'm just talking out loud to myself, and asking the questions that are in the lyric. It gets to the point where I want to take my life, and find myself staring at a knife. I contemplated about calling the song staring at a knife, but I wanted to put a positive spin on it and called it meet again. The song is hopeful that I will meet my love again, and I won't have to use the knife.
