Lyric discussion by thriggle 

Yeah, the line "I once was a fool like you afraid to do the things I knew I had to do" implies that the speaker (who is asking the questions) already knows the answers.

It's possible that the answers are knowable but not sayable (like Wittgenstein said: "What we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence"). And trying to say them is just a way of delaying, of running from the reality of the situation.

You have to live your life. The questions distill down to this:

  1. How do we get over the wrongs others have done to us?
  2. How do we get over the mistakes we've made?
  3. Why is life short and scary?

And the answers are: get over it kid, buck up and face your life with joy.
