Catching Matches
Embers of Independence: Georgia Knight's Catching Matches Reveals Liberation in Flames
Lyrics
I’m gonna leave a good man soon
I plan to end my relationship with a good man soon.
I’m gonna leave him when I choose
I will leave him when I decide it's the right time.
I’m gonna leave when the time suits me right
I'll leave when the timing is suitable for me.
I’m gonna leave him in middle of the night
I'll leave him in the middle of the night.
I pack my things and go
I'll pack my belongings and depart.
Take only what I can carry
I'll take only what I can carry with me.
Goodbye husband, goodbye wife
Farewell to my husband and wife.
Goodbye big house, goodbye heart strings
Saying goodbye to the big house and emotional ties.
Goodbye little baby, and goodbye long hair
Bidding farewell to my little baby and my long hair.
Earring and necklace too, I’m gonna leave you
Leaving behind earrings and necklace, symbolizing a complete departure.
Gonna leave you and you
Emphasizing the decision to leave multiple individuals.
I’m going out to run with the big boys now
Expressing the desire to engage with a more adventurous or daring lifestyle.
I’m leaving him in a bad situation
Leaving the partner in a difficult or challenging situation.
Well I’m going out catching matches now
Indicating an intention to engage in risky or rebellious behavior, catching matches.
Let them burn for a second, then flick them to the gutter
Describing the act of lighting matches and letting them burn briefly before discarding them.
In a pile with one another
Creating a visual image of matches piled up, perhaps symbolizing past actions or relationships.
I’m gonna leave
Reiterating the intention to leave.
