The Greatest Resignation
Embracing Change: The Journey of Resignation and Rediscovery
Lyrics
The years go by and we're left with nothing but holding on
The passage of time leaves us with little, and we are left clinging to the past.
To days before and nothing more than wondering where we belonged
We hold on to memories of days gone by, uncertain of our place in the present.
So now I've resigned myself to unplugging the cord
The speaker has accepted resigning or letting go, symbolized by unplugging a cord.
But even when we try, time still goes by
Despite efforts, time continues to pass.
With you tonight, it goes by
Even in the company of someone (possibly a partner), time still moves forward.
Let's run it down, all over town
Reflecting on the past, suggesting a desire to revisit familiar places.
Drive over the hills we knew
Recalling times spent driving over hills, possibly metaphorical for overcoming challenges.
Like when we had no sense of what we'd eventually lose
Reflecting on a time of innocence, unaware of future losses.
So now I remind myself to kick in the door
The speaker resolves to take action, possibly breaking barriers or seeking change.
Cuz even when we try, time still goes by
Despite efforts, time continues to pass, perhaps highlighting a sense of urgency.
With you tonight, it goes by
Even in the company of someone, time still moves forward.
Even when we're at our worst
Acknowledging difficult times but stating that words cannot inflict pain.
There's nothing we can say that hurts
Expressing that even at the worst moments, there is nothing impactful to say.
And I don't want to admit that it's worse
Reluctance to admit that the situation is worse than it seems.
To be complacent than cursed
Suggesting that being stagnant is more undesirable than facing challenges.
So now I remind myself to get off the floor
A resolution to rise from a low point or overcome adversity.
Cuz even when we try, time still goes by
Despite efforts, time continues to pass, emphasizing the urgency to act.
With you tonight, it goes by
Even in the company of someone, time still moves forward.
