San Jose
Breaking Free: A Journey to Redemption in San Jose
Lyrics
And so darling, for once please get clean for me
Requesting the partner to get sober or clean for the speaker's sake.
Nothing else left I can say
The speaker feels there's nothing more they can express.
When I refuse to say words that won't break through to you
Choosing not to say things that won't have an impact on the listener.
Deny when you see me lie
Asking the listener not to ignore the speaker's falsehoods.
When you tell me I'm wrong
When the listener accuses the speaker of being wrong.
It seems good and fine to you
The listener seems content despite the issues.
The drugs that you're doing are bad
Addressing the negative effects of the listener's drug use.
And I wish it was easier for me to say
Expressing a desire for it to be easier to communicate concerns about the drug use.
Please, girl, stop using
Pleading for the listener to stop using drugs.
Don't run away
Encouraging the listener not to flee or escape.
Run along to a world that won't lie to you
Urging the listener to find a truthful and honest environment.
Trust you and get drawn into your eyes
Feeling captivated by the listener's eyes and wanting to trust them.
There are places that take you in
There are supportive places for the listener to seek refuge.
It's not some drug rehab
Not necessarily a rehabilitation center, but rather a supportive place.
It's what I've been trying to say
Reiterating the message the speaker is trying to convey.
This world has lost faith in you
Expressing that the world has lost confidence in the listener.
For the promises that you have made
Referring to broken promises made by the listener.
But there's still a place that believes in you
Despite broken promises, there's still belief in the listener.
Just close your eyes
Asking the listener to envision a better world.
Make believe that this world will come true
Encouraging the listener to imagine a positive outcome.
The pain that you feel is gone
Assuring the listener that their pain will diminish.
Vices in life fade away
Bad habits or addictions will fade away from life.
And there's no more pain
Emphasizing the absence of pain once vices are gone.
No more drugs,
Explicitly mentioning the absence of drugs.
No more lies,
No more deceit or falsehoods.
No need to worry
Assuring the listener that they need not worry.
'Cause I'm standing here by your side
The speaker is standing by the listener's side for support.
Where no harm will come to you
Promising protection and safety to the listener.
Don't you see your trust is safe with me
Highlighting the trustworthiness of the speaker.
Of course you must get here first
The listener needs to arrive at a certain understanding or realization.
No need for directions
No need for explicit directions, offering guidance instead.
Allow me to show you the way
Willingness to guide the listener toward a better path.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Referencing the location "San Jose" as a metaphorical destination or a better place.
Let me show you the way
Offering to lead the way to a better place or state of being.
Do you know where to turn
Asking if the listener knows where to seek redemption when making mistakes.
When you do wrong?
Seeking awareness of where to turn or find guidance when in the wrong.
