Don’t Live For Yesterday

(Michael Facciani)

This is about looking toward the future and not living in the past. Memories will last forever and some are to be cherished, but some others are better off being forgotten. Don’t dwell in the past. Forge ahead into the future.

There’s nothing you can do about the past
Wake up, the future is coming fast
Memories will eternally last
You’re just one person in the cast

Never should you live by the sword
That way nobody can afford
Don’t sit around and be bored
Don’t live for yesterday
What happened will forever stay

Concern yourself with the here and now
History’s in the past anyhow
You can never change what was
Let today give you a buzz

Hear the ticking of the clock
How about the new people on the block
Put everything in the past aside
Let your conscience be your guide

Don’t live for yesterday
Memories will always stay
Go out and look around
Never know what might be found

Back Home

This verse is about the struggle back home, the mayhem inside of one’s heart, and how that all corresponds with the real world and the actions of the character. Powerful meaning, quite lyrical with a nice flow.
