Lyrics
You know that land is far from here
You acknowledge a distant land.
And land’s where you belong
You feel that your true place is in that distant land.
But once before the soil was foreign to your feet
In the past, foreign soil was unfamiliar to you, but you'll overcome challenges.
You won’t be down for long
You will not remain in a difficult situation for an extended period.
The imposition of the permanence
The burden of permanent consequences for past mistakes.
Of things that you’ve done wrong
The lasting impact of wrongdoings is challenging.
Don’t exercise your willingness to mourn
Resist the urge to dwell on sorrow and mourning.
You won’t be down for long
You will overcome challenges and bounce back.
I try to move away but I’m blind
Feeling directionless, unable to escape the past.
I can’t escape the trail left behind
A persistent trail of past actions haunts you.
I know that value bends with the time
Recognizing that the value of things changes with time.
I wish that I had the means to describe
Wishing for the ability to articulate feelings.
My patience crumbles swiftly now
Patience is diminishing rapidly.
Though I know you’re not gone
Although someone is not physically present, they're not entirely gone.
I fuck around and lean on all this easy shit
Dependence on easy solutions, but the situation will improve.
Cos you won’t be down for long
Assurance that the challenging times will pass.
Doesn’t seem quite deserved
Questioning the deservedness of the challenges faced.
Doesn’t seem in line with purpose, not quite worse but not quite perfect
Challenges don't align perfectly with life's purpose.
Imma trust my learning, stop squirming, we’re not burning
Choosing to trust in learning, avoiding unnecessary struggle.
“No more flame returning”, curtained furnace, fucking worthless
Rejecting the return of destructive habits.
I let you go
Letting go despite the pain.
But in spite of hurt this brief resurgence does resurface another, a better glow
Despite hurt, a positive transformation emerges.
It’s not the place that caused the pain at all, I can remain and still replace the goal
The source of pain is not the place, and goals can be replaced.
Deep green in a park for my own entertain
Finding solace and enjoyment in a personal space.
Don’t leave, never part, I’ve got more to say
Expressing a desire for continued connection.
You’re beckoning my mind, wanna pull me back
Inner conflict and temptation to return to the past.
I’m never gonna try and leave this place again
Commitment to never leave a positive place again.
I’m thankful for the days I complied
Gratitude for compliant days.
My feet embrace the seas that I find myself in cos I knew you were right
Embracing challenges with the knowledge that someone was right.
I hope that I never stop to retire
Desire for an ongoing journey without retiring from life's experiences.
