Lyrics meaning

The speaker feels confused by changing rules about how to stay healthy. At first, they try hard to follow advice and imagine that each effort will secure โ€œone more tomorrow.โ€ As the song develops, that hope turns into frustration and defiance: the speaker rejects people who claim to know what is best, then decides to stop carefully managing life. The repeated question about living forever makes the desire for endless life sound less like a firm belief and more like a doubt.

โ€œOne more tomorrowโ€ suggests postponing death, or simply hoping to get through another day. The contrast between things that โ€œbefore were so wrongโ€ and are now required to be healthy points to advice that seems to keep changing. The phrase โ€œrule over everybodyโ€™s livesโ€ implies that the speaker sees the advice-givers not just as mistaken, but as controlling.

The lyrics can be read as criticizing confusing or overconfident health messages, rather than rejecting health itself. The speakerโ€™s final decision to โ€œsurvive in a wayโ€ may express relief at letting go of constant rules, but it could also sound careless or resigned. The song does not clearly settle whether living longer is worth the pressure, or whether the speaker is simply tired of being told how to live.
