Lyrics
Let's go down to the water
Invitation to go to the water, symbolizing a fresh start or cleansing.
Let's hold our noses and dive
Suggests diving into challenges, overcoming obstacles.
We don't have to swim forever
Emphasizes the temporary nature of difficulties; a reminder that challenges are manageable.
Just till we get to the other side
Striving to reach a better place, a metaphor for overcoming struggles.
Let's take all that hurt and pretending
Encourages leaving emotional pain and pretending behind.
Leave them here on the shore
Suggests leaving negative aspects of the past on the shore.
All that bad blood and darkness
Refers to resolving conflicts and leaving darkness behind.
We just don't need them any more
Expresses the decision to move forward without negative influences.
Cuz hard times were then and this is now
Acknowledges past difficulties but emphasizes the present.
And I just can't let nothing slow me down
Determination not to be hindered by past hardships.
CHORUS:

Kick off the moss and roll the stone away
Encourages shedding negativity and embracing a new beginning.
There's a train that's coming and I can't be late

Maybe tomorrow I'll die but not today
Acknowledges the uncertainty of the future but a determination to live fully today.

Let's walk up to the mountain
Suggests the journey of self-improvement by climbing a mountain.
One foot in front of the other we'll climb
Emphasizes the step-by-step approach to personal growth.
And when we make it to the top
Reflecting on the past and future achievements after reaching the top.
We can look backwards and forward in time
Encourages looking back and forward in time for self-reflection.
And I don't care if it gets too cold
Indifference to difficulties, focusing on warmth and companionship.
We know how to keep warm
Confidence in overcoming challenges together.
We'll push some fireballs together
Collaborative effort to create positivity and warmth.
Make ourselves a raging heat storm
Symbolic creation of a powerful positive force.
Cuz hard times were then and this is now
Reiteration of the temporal nature of challenges.
What we ain't got we never needed anyhow
Emphasizes self-sufficiency and contentment without certain things.

Don't you know that I need a little bit of that Auld Lang Syne
