This lyric is a deeply philosophical and motivational reflection on life, individuality, and human potential. It emphasizes personal responsibility and the power of self-determination. The song suggests that the only barriers to achieving dreams are the ones we create ourselves, and that life is a mirror reflecting our inner being — a profound metaphor for self-awareness and accountability.
The lyric encourages resilience and courage, advocating for fighting one’s destiny rather than succumbing to despair. The line “fighting and losing is better than sitting and grieving” underscores the importance of action, even in the face of uncertainty or defeat.
A central theme is light versus darkness, symbolizing hope, enlightenment, and optimism. The lyric reminds us of our origins in light, rain, and mirrors — natural and pure elements — and warns against acclimating to darkness, which represents negativity or despair. It also calls for independent thinking, cautioning against blind obedience to others, reinforcing the song’s message of self-reliance and freedom.
Overall, this is an inspiring and empowering song that challenges listeners to embrace life with courage, reject passivity, and find their true selves amidst the trials and reflections of existence.

English Lyric
I’ve learned these things about life:
Except for death, nothing is mandatory.
Between me and my distant dreams,
There’s no wall but myself.
I’ve learned these things about life:
You can fight destiny and win.
Fighting and losing is better
Than sitting idly and just grieving.
The world is like a mirror; its good and bad,
Are just reflections of who I am.
The body and soul of every person on earth
Are pieces of my own threads and fabric.
We come from light, rain, and mirrors,
We must not grow used to darkness.
We must not blindly obey anyone in this world
With our eyes closed.

ترانه
من اینا رو فهمیدم از زندگی
به جز مرگ هیچ چیزی اجبار نیست
که بین من و آرزوهای دور
به غیر از خودم هیشکی دیوار نیست
من اینا رو فهمیدم از زندگی
که با سرنوشت میشه جنگید و برد
که جنگیدن و باختن بهتره
از اینکه نشست و فقط غُصه خورد
جهان مثل آینه ست که خوب و بدش
فقط انعکاس وجودِ منه
تن و روح هر آدمی رو زمین
یه تیکه از این تار و پود منه
ما از نور و بارون و آیینه ایم
نباید به تاریکی عادت کنیم
نباید از هیچ آدمی تو جهان
با چشمای بسته اطاعت کنیم
من اینا رو فهمیدم از زندگی
به جز مرگ هیچ چیزی اجبار نیست
که بین من و آرزوهای دور
به غیر از خودم هیشکی دیوار نیست
من اینا رو فهمیدم از زندگی
که با سرنوشت میشه جنگید و برد
که جنگیدن و باختن بهتره
از اینکه نشست و فقط غصه خورد
جهان مثلِ آینه ست که خوب و بدش
فقط انعکاسِ وجودِ منه
تن و روح هر آدمی رو زمین
یه تیکه از این تار و پود منه
ما از نور و بارون و آیینه ایم
نباید به تاریکی عادت کنیم
نباید از هیچ آدمی تو جهان
با چشمای بسته اطاعت کنیم
ما از نور و بارون و آیینه ایم
نباید به تاریکی عادت کنیم
نباید از هیچ آدمی تو جهان
با چشمای بسته اطاعت کنیم
