Octavarium Lyrics

I. Someone Like Him

I never wanted to become
Someone like him
So secure
Content to live each day
Just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that...

    It says to me....you're born life is beautiful and melancholic .... Then when you reach teenage years it gets just sad....then you take acid and reset your life and life becomes blissful and painful until you reach the end... Like a fish in its birthpool you die where you were born....thanks man a just bought the album amazing song...Leee

    A song about the realization after 30yrs, that life just seems to keep going and going as if in a catatonic sleep, and depending on choices in life....secure vs living on the razors edge - which do you choose? So, it's sung, "I didn't want to be a person like him. It's a powerful song and sad, all at the same time. In conclusion, the meaning: Latin phrase and business term meaning "each day" As in, the hectic day-to-day rat-race of a life we live each and every day. The craziness of life.
