Song Meaning of “Typical Miracle” by Every Time I Die
Typical Miracle is a song about the wonders of life and of things that come and go that should remind us of the beauty, the fragility, and the importance of life. It speaks of the momentous life experiences that make us realize the importance of those around us and of the precious moments of joy that exist in our lives. The lyrics suggest that these moments, while fleeting, are no less miraculous than any of the big, dramatic events and milestones that we seek out in life.
The chorus speaks of moments of appreciation, “head out porch and wonder why, we don’t take more time for ordinary sights” – we are reminded to take more time and soak up the small, daily miracles that life has to offer. It also speaks to the power of time and how quickly life can change: “Its the seconds passing that give me chills” – we are reminded of the importance of doing the things that make us feel alive, as life moves quickly and these moments, while typical and ordinary, are miraculous nonetheless.
The song serves to tell its listeners that we should appreciate and savor life and its moments, even when the future is uncertain. We should learn to recognize the beauty of everyday life – even if it’s not a grand, spectacular show.
