Rearview
Embracing Freedom: Letting Go and Finding Strength
Lyrics
There's not always someone to blame
Acceptance that not every situation has someone to blame.
There's not always reasons to curse out your name
A realization that there may not always be reasons to express anger or frustration towards oneself.
There's not always a reason love leaves when the seasons change
Acknowledgment that love can change with the seasons without a clear reason.
No, there wasn't a reason you just woke up and didn't feel the same
No specific cause for the change in feelings; a sudden realization that emotions have shifted.
So I guess I'll be leaving if we weren't meant to be anyway
Acceptance of the situation, considering leaving if the relationship wasn't meant to be.
I'll remember you fondly but I've gotta go my own way
Fond memories of the person, but a decision to pursue one's own path.
On my own I'm free, I can love what he didn't see:
Embracing freedom and self-love without relying on external validation.
The light in my eyes, the warmth in my smile
Recognition of personal qualities like the light in the eyes and warmth in the smile.
The love that I feel so fearlessly from the core of my heart
Expressing fearless love that originates from the core of the heart.
I'd give it all away, but not today
Willingness to sacrifice for love, but not at the present moment.
In the rearview I'm crying, but I think that I'll be okay
Tears in the rearview mirror, but a belief in eventual healing and well-being.
When I let go, I'm finally free
Finding freedom and peace by letting go of the past.
I'm dreaming of dancing in lights of the city
Daydreaming about a future filled with the lights of the city.
Cause New York is calling me louder than you ever called me
New York symbolizes a beckoning call, overpowering past connections.
I'll be dancing alone with the girl who is perfect for me
Embracing independence, dancing alone with the perfect person for oneself.
In the mirror she smiles through her tears right back at me
Seeing a stronger, smiling reflection in the mirror, indicating personal growth.
Her green eyes are laughing and she's stronger than she's ever been
Characteristics of the ideal self: green eyes laughing and newfound strength.
On her own, she's free, she can love what he didn't see:
Similar theme of freedom and self-love, now focused on the female protagonist.
The light in her eyes, the warmth in her smile
Highlighting personal qualities of the new character.
The love that she feels so fearlessly from the core of her crooked heart
Expressing fearless love from the core of the heart, despite imperfections.
She'd give it all away, but not today
Willingness to give up everything for love, postponed to another day.
In the rearview she's laughing and I know that she'll be okay
Laughing in the rearview, indicating a positive outlook and moving forward.
She's already miles away
The person has already moved on and is miles away from the past.
