"Set one's course"
Hi,
Can someone please explain to me how I should understand this line:
" We set our course to live or die
(Across the universe I'd be by your side) "
--- Make Believe (Backstreet Boys) ---
What does "set one's course" mean and how should I understand the whole sentence?
Many thanks,
LN

LN Sorei What does "set one's course" mean "to set a course" means to decide on the course you should follow (from A to B). Practically, after that decision, navigators draw a course line from A to B on the sea chart. Hence, a metaphor "We set our course to live or die " which I understand as a sort of pledge to be together for better and for worse for the rest of their life.
