Leaving Today
Finding Peace Amid Departure: Alfie Templeman's "Leaving Today
Lyrics
Ever since I got that strangest feeling
Expressing the experience of an unusual or unfamiliar sensation.
I've been finding back the time you stole
Reclaiming lost time taken away by someone.
Wasted days that I could've spent healing
Regretting the squandered days that could have been used for healing.
Leave the emptiness down in my soul
Desiring to overcome the emptiness in the soul caused by the departure of someone.
Everything I used to be is fading
Noticing a gradual fading of one's previous self.
Far away into that distant time
Reflecting on a distant time that is now fading away.
Now that I forgive myself for changing
Acceptance and forgiveness for personal transformation.
I can learn to find some peace of mind
Expressing the potential to find inner peace.
Find some peace of mind
Reiterating the quest for inner peace.
Just sit back with the sun on my face
Taking a moment of relaxation, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
'Cause I can't give my whole life away
A refusal to give away one's entire life.
And you're tearing my heart when you say
Feeling emotionally hurt when hearing about the departure.
That you're leaving today (you're leaving)
Explicitly stating the act of leaving today.
So sit back with the sun on my face
Repeating the theme of relaxing under the sun.
'Cause I can't find the meaning again
Expressing difficulty in finding meaning once again.
And you're tearing my heart when you say
Experiencing emotional pain upon hearing about the imminent departure.
That you're leaving today (leaving)
Reaffirming the departure happening today.
It's alright now I've seen the light
Expressing a sense of relief and understanding after gaining insight.
I'll be leaving here tonight
Deciding to leave the current situation during the night.
Just sit back with the sun on my face
Repeating the theme of relaxation and sunlit contemplation.
'Cause I can't give my whole life away
Reiterating the refusal to give away one's entire life.
And you're tearing my heart when you say
Reexperiencing emotional pain caused by the impending departure.
That you're leaving today
Confirming the act of leaving today.
So sit back with the sun on my face
Reiterating the challenge of finding meaning under the sun.
'Cause I can't find the meaning again
Repeating the emotional pain caused by the departure.
And you're tearing my heart when you say
Restating the act of leaving today.
That you're leaving today
Final confirmation of the departure happening today.
