“Life Is Short” lives in the space between survival and intention. It’s about carrying the weight of yesterday without letting it define tomorrow, choosing momentum over hesitation.
Lyrically, the song leans into urgency: time can’t be borrowed, so today matters. Musically, the track moves across shifting genres before landing in a modern rock coda, reflecting the idea that growth isn’t linear—it’s earned. You don’t escape the past; you transform it. It’s a reminder to stop postponing the life you want and start living with purpose now.
If that balance of reflection and forward drive resonates, there’s plenty more to discover in Zero-G Racetrack’s catalog.

(Verse 1)
I don’t hear it oh – but I can feel it
There’s a warm breath running down my soul
It’s your sound and I’ve found that I need it
Your silence starts to take it’s toll
(Pre-Chorus)
I can see that it’s easy to believe
That nothing said is broken clean
And I can see that it’s easy to release
Sometimes it’s hard to let it go
(Chorus X4)
Come on let’s play
It’s a new day
Life is short
Live for today
(Verse 2)
I don’t hear it oh – but I can feel it
The silent ticking of a clock that’s on the go
Give me a sign and some time I need it
There’s so much more for me to know
(Pre-Chorus)
I can see that it’s easy to believe
That nothing said is broken clean
And I can see that it’s easy to release
Sometimes it’s hard to let it go
(Repeat Chorus X4)
(Bridge X3)
I want to live like there’s no tomorrow
As I’m surviving my yesterdays
Time is something that can’t be borrowed
And so I’m living for a better day – today
(Repeat Chorus X4)
