Same Direction

SAME DIRECTION

(HOOBASTANK)

 

Whenever I step outside, somebody claims to see the light.
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
'Cause everyone thinks they're right, and nobody thinks that there just might
be more than one way to our final destination.

But I'm not ever gonna know if I'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction.
And I'm not sure which way to go because all along
we've been going in the same direction.

I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
for all the holes in answers that are clearly showing,
for something to fill the space. Was all of the time I spent a waste,
'Cause so many choices point the same way I was going?

But I'm not ever gonna know if I'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction.
And I'm not sure which way to go because all along
we've been going in the same direction.

Going in the same direction--

Same direction-- (Same direction)

So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them.
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end.
Go my own way and meet you in the end.

I'm not ever gonna know... if I'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction.
And I'm not sure which way to go because all along
we've been going in the same direction

Going in the same direction

Going in the same direction--

Same direction-- (Same direction)

It seems this song is the perfect nominee for "song of this week" haha, It was from a 2004 Hoobastank's album called "The Reason", I like this song, the lyric was really delivers its message, about the egoism and fanaticism of us--human, and about all doctrines that we used to be believed since our childhood, where in fact, we actually heading into the same finish line. Yeah I do believe that although we claimed that we--human have a different "finish-line" in this "race of life", actually in God's view, our main objectives in this life is just the same, it's just difficult to understand why God created us right? haha

So, why bother arguing? why bother proving that our belief is the perfect one? why bother persuading others to follow our way of thinking? cause this is the "race of life" maybe you prefer taking the straight-way to reach the finish line, but not everyone do the same, some people maybe turn in the first intersection they encounter, or maybe some others keep going in circle, yeah what matters is not that we have a different goal in this life, but it is that we have a different way to reach our goal in this life, just respect others' point of view, they have their own way to live their lives, but I do agree sometimes we must warn them if they are heading into a dead-end haha.
