Four Years Later
Embrace Change and Find Strength: Core of iO's 'Four Years Later' Meaning
Lyrics
It's not changing, you've got no choice
Feeling stuck, no options available
Erase it or lose your mind the other way
Either erase the situation or risk losing mental stability in another way
It's frustrating that you've got no voice
Feeling powerless and frustrated
Take it or lose your mind the other way
Take action or face potential mental distress
Runner-up, runner-up that's not you, my friend
Being a runner-up is not your identity
Let it go, let it go, let it go, stand up
Let go of something, stand up for yourself
Runner-up, runner-up that's not you, my friend
Reiteration that being a runner-up is not your identity
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Continue to let go and stand up for yourself
You just need more time
Patience is needed; give yourself more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Advise to be kind to oneself and trust in the process
More time
Reiteration of the need for more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Emphasis on self-compassion and trust
All memories they've got to go
Let go of memories; move on to avoid mental distress
Move on now, or lose your mind the other way
Move forward to prevent negative thoughts
No self-doubt, it's not your fault
No self-doubt; it's not your fault
Believe it or lose your mind the other way
Believe in yourself or face potential mental distress
Runner-up, runner-up that's not you, my friend
Being a runner-up is not who you are
Let it go, let it go, let it go, stand up
Let go and stand up against challenges
Runner-up, runner-up that's not you, my friend
Reiteration that being a runner-up is not your identity
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Continue to let go and stand up for yourself
You just need more time
Patience is needed; give yourself more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Advise to be kind to oneself and trust in the process
More time
Reiteration of the need for more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Emphasis on self-compassion and trust
Reach out.
Encouragement to reach out for support
Runner-up, runner-up that's not you my friend
Being a runner-up is not who you are
Let it go, let it go, let it go, stand up
Let go and stand up against challenges
Let it go, let it go, right now, don't let words hold you down
Release the past, don't let words weigh you down
Let it go, let it go, right now, don't let words hold you down
Emphasis on freeing oneself from negative influences
You just need more time
Patience is needed; give yourself more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Advise to be kind to oneself and trust in the process
More time
Reiteration of the need for more time
Be kind to you and trust me
Emphasis on self-compassion and trust
