long live the reckless and the brave meaning

In the end I think the song is about being reckless and brave and breaking out of what the other people are. They all said he was crazy and a brat to leave and that he would never make it. He is now finally breaking out of the people who were not brave and reckless like he was. 'It's an ode to anyone who decides to take that shot in the dark at the risk of potential failure. 'Little brat, must be crazy, never make it Frontman Alex Gaskarth explained the song's meaning to Kerrang: ''The Reckless And The Brave' is really about me and the band committing to taking that first leap of faith in going for a career that basically off the beaten path,' he said. He kinda lived in his own world It never was related to the world he actually lived in. I think this is about him looking back on his old life with people who he never fit in with. Let me explain.ĭidn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it I think it's about growing up a precious town then 'going to the other side' being the reckless side. And bravery is the one thing I'm starting to work on for this new school year.I always thought this song was about living young and being reckless, then I looked at the lyrics a bit more. Being brave is, even when you're scared, you're willing to face your destiny. Being brave doesn't mean you won't be scared of what's to come. A part of my brain tells me to try new things and face new challenges while the other part of my brain keeps on telling me I'll fail.

And my brain knows that.īut, guess what? Thanks to my teenage hormones there's a daily civil war going on in my head. I fear failure constantly, and that's one thing dreams can't afford. Sometimes I wonder if I'm only wasting my time by dreaming so much. I know I'll end up regretting more the things I didn't do than the things I did.

And that's exactly what I'm planning to do. Dreams come true if and only if you set them into motion. But saying these things won't make them happen. Oh, and completely-long-term-ly speaking, getting into medicine school is my first choice. Sort-of-long-term-ly speaking, getting fit and feeling healthy are my number one. What are my dreams? Short-term-ly speaking, getting good grades is right on top.
