He's drinking cold corona
Feels like he's getting older
Now and noticing how he's finding
Grey hairs left in the shower
Tattoos fade by the hour
And he can’t understand these feelings
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns
And cries inside
Its been this way for a while
And he can’t seem to put things right
When life has been unkind
And you’re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
Feels like time’s not on your side
He doesn’t like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He cant afford the prices for
the new kitchen floor he’s buying
He's been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn’t know
And in the daytime he just sits
and watches television shows
When life has been unkind
And you’re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
Feels like time’s not on your side
Don’t know why but somehow
The ones you love you hate now,
You feel down and blue
Look at what you've thrown away
They stood beside you all the way
Now its too late, its too late for you
When life has been unkind
And you’re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
Feels like time’s not on your side
這歌詞把一個中年男子的心境,描繪得很自然貼切!!
當他回顧過往,突然發現對過去與未來,感到茫然害怕。
雖不喜歡現在的自己,卻也不知道為何會至此田步。
心中一些灰色負面感受,但也分不清那是什麼。
對於過去所愛,現卻轉恨,心情低落憂鬱不已。
過往一直在身邊的人事物,卻往往忽略錯過未曾珍愛惜福。
如今由鏡中返照年華老去,而徒自感傷嘆息...時不我予!!
也許我們都該好好審視評鑑...何為生活中那至真至善至美......
在有限時日中更懂得惜緣惜福!!
