Long Way Down
Carving Your Own Path: The Long Way Down
Lyrics
You're not the same as yesterday
You have undergone a change from your previous self.
You shouldn't listen to what they say
Ignore the opinions of others; don't pay heed to what they say.
Their path is crooked
Others have chosen a morally questionable or deceitful path.
and you should know
Be aware that their path is twisted or dishonest.
before you go
Before proceeding, understand that there are significant consequences.
that it's a long way down
Life can lead to a substantial fall or failure.
Carved your own path and made your way
You've forged your own way and faced opposition.
They're on attack, it's so cliche
They are attacking you in a predictable and overused manner.
you step sure-footed
You walk confidently despite the challenges.
but you should know
Be aware of the risks before proceeding.
before you go
Emphasizing the potential for a significant downfall.
that it's a long way down
Life's journey involves considerable risks and challenges.
So much at stake
There's a lot on the line, much to lose.
not much to wager
There isn't much to bet or risk.
The odds were never in your favor
The odds have never been in your favor.
You broke away
You have broken away from the norm or expected path.
despite the danger
Despite the danger, the decision is significant.
It still means everything
The choice holds immense value and importance.
They're reveling in your dismay
Others are taking pleasure in your misfortune.
You're so afraid of what they'll say
You fear the judgments and opinions of others.
now loosely rooted
Now, your connection or commitment is less strong.
you should know
Understand the potential fall before proceeding.
before you go
Reiterating the awareness of the long journey ahead.
that it's a long way down
Emphasizing the substantial risks in the path.
So much at stake not much to wager
Similar to line 13, highlighting the high stakes and low potential gain.
The odds were never in your favor
Repeating the idea that the odds are not in your favor.
You broke away
Despite the risks, you have chosen a different path.
despite the danger
Reiterating the significance of breaking away from the expected.
It still means everything
Despite the dangers, your choice holds immense personal value.
