Leave This House
Leaving the Past Behind: A Journey of Redemption
Lyrics
Just like Cain and Abel
Referencing the biblical story of Cain and Abel, suggesting a conflict or rivalry
Who let the devil come around
Metaphorically referencing negative influences or temptations
I'm the king of the garden
Expressing a sense of dominance or control
With a snake for a crown
Symbolic representation of a corrupted or deceptive authority
When the Lord points His finger
Anticipating judgment or consequences for actions
That's when I'm going down
Expecting a downfall or punishment when faced with divine retribution
Well, I ain't no angel
Acknowledging imperfections while striving for a better image or behavior
But I like to pretend
Engaging in self-deception or portraying oneself differently
I'm the king of the road on the prairie wind
Feeling a sense of freedom and control, perhaps through illusions
Gonna roll down the highway
Expressing a desire for movement or escape
'Til I get to the end
Seeking an endpoint or resolution
When I leave this house
Expressing determination to leave a place or situation
I ain't coming back
Commitment to not return to the current environment
Leave this house
Reiteration of the determination to depart
I ain't coming back
Reinforcing the decision not to come back
Tied my sins to a railroad track
Symbolic reference to leaving behind wrongdoing or regrets
Leave my initials in chicken scratch
Leaving a mark or personal sign before departing
The garden of Eden has broken my back
Suggesting that a paradisiacal situation has caused hardship or pain
When I leave this house
Reasserting the determination to leave the current place
I ain't coming back
Commitment to not return to the present location
Hey now mama
Addressing a maternal figure
I'm gonna tell you what
Introducing a statement directed at the mentioned person
I'm a hungry child
Feeling a strong need or desire, possibly for nourishment or fulfillment
With an empty cup
Describing a lack or emptiness
I gotta get my fill
Expressing the urgency to satisfy a need or desire
Until my time is up, yeah
Acknowledging limited time or mortality
When I leave this house
Reiterating the determination to depart from the current place
I ain't coming back
Commitment to not return to the current situation
Leave this house
Reaffirming the decision not to come back
I ain't coming back
Stating the commitment to leave behind past wrongs or regrets
Tie my sins to a railway track
Symbolically referencing leaving a personal mark before leaving
Leave my initials in chicken scratch
Reiteration of leaving a personal sign or mark
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back
Contradictory statement indicating that a seemingly idyllic situation has caused hardship or pain
When I leave this house
Reasserting the commitment to leave the current place
I ain't coming back
Commitment to not return to the present location
