Lyrics
So long to the hurt and stormy weather
Expressing farewell to pain and turbulent times
It's time for a cleansing
Indicating a need for a purifying or cleansing experience
Nice try, but you can't afford this forever
Suggesting that avoiding difficulties is temporary
You know it makes you feel good
Recognizing the temporary relief feels satisfying
Feeding on your soul
Describing a process of consuming or absorbing one's inner self
You'll search for a cure
Implying a quest for a solution or remedy
You'll want to be sure
Emphasizing the importance of certainty
You don't lose control
Warning against losing self-control
You'll want to be sure
Reiterating the importance of certainty in actions
That this is really you
Encouraging self-reflection to ensure authenticity
So long since I can't even remember
Highlighting a prolonged period of forgetfulness
It's time for renewal
Expressing a desire for a fresh start or revival
You know that you won't have forever
Acknowledging the finite nature of opportunities for change
You know it makes you feel good
Stating that the temporary relief is gratifying
Feeding on your soul
Repeating the theme of consuming one's inner self
You'll search for a cure
Continuing the quest for a remedy or solution
You'll want to be sure
Reiterating the importance of certainty and control
You don't lose control
Emphasizing the need to avoid losing self-control
You'll want to be sure
Reiterating the significance of certainty in identity
That this is really you
Encouraging self-reflection to ensure authenticity
I fell towards the fire
Describing a movement toward challenges or difficulties
Shielding myself from sin
Using a metaphor of shielding oneself from wrongdoing
Things are looking brighter
Noticing an improvement in circumstances
This is the way I want to live
Expressing a preference for a new way of life
So long to the hurt and stormy weather
Repeating the farewell to pain and turbulent times
It's time for a cleansing
Reiterating the need for a purifying experience
Nice try, but you can't control me forever
Asserting independence from external control
Feeding on your soul
Recalling the theme of consuming one's inner self
You'll search for a cure
Continuing the search for a remedy or solution
You'll want to be sure
Emphasizing the importance of certainty and control
You don't lose control
Warning against losing self-control
I'll always be sure
Asserting a commitment to certainty in actions
You'll want to be sure
Reiterating the significance of certainty in identity
So long to the end
Acknowledging the end of a phase or experience
You'll always be there
Recognizing a lingering presence despite departure
But you are gone to me
Acknowledging emotional distance despite physical presence
