Wastin' Away
Journey to Liberation: Breaking Free from the Chains of Expectations
Lyrics
I'm goin', yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin' away
I am leaving, affirming my decision to go away.
I finally made up my mind
I have finally made a firm decision.
I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin' today
I am departing today, abandoning the enjoyable life.
Leavin' the good life behind.
Leaving the pleasurable aspects of life behind.
I can never be the kind of man you want me to be
I cannot conform to the expectations of the person you want me to be.
Don't cry, little darlin', don't cry
Do not cry, my dear; I am addressing someone affectionately.
You don't know what this kind of life is doin' to me
Living this kind of life is negatively impacting me.
Goodbye, little darlin', goodbye.
Farewell, my dear; expressing a goodbye sentiment.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Experiencing a gradual decline or deterioration.
Too much of nothin' every day
An excessive amount of nothing is occurring daily.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Continuing to waste away with an abundance of emptiness each day.
Too much of nothin' every day
The repetition emphasizes the ongoing sense of wasting away.
Once upon a time you would've asked me to stay
In the past, there might have been a request for me to stay.
I know, little darlin', I know
Acknowledging awareness of the emotional pain caused by leaving.
Now I get the feeling you don't care anyway
Perceiving a lack of concern from the other person.
It shows, little darlin', it shows.
The emotional impact is visible or evident.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Reiterating the theme of a gradual decline or deterioration.
Too much of nothin' every day
Too much of emptiness and nothingness is a daily occurrence.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Continuing to waste away, emphasizing the repetitive nature.
Too much of nothin' every day
The persistent theme of experiencing emptiness and deterioration daily.
I'm goin', yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin' away
Repeating the announcement of departure with a made-up mind.
I finally made up my mind
Confirming the firmness of the decision to leave.
I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin', yes I'm leavin' today
Departing today and leaving behind the enjoyable aspects of life.
Leavin' the good life behind.
Reiteration of leaving the pleasurable aspects of life behind.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Emphasizing the ongoing decline and wasting away.
Too much of nothin' every day
Daily existence involves an excessive amount of nothingness.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Continuing to waste away with an abundance of emptiness each day.
Too much of nothin' every day
The repetition underscores the persistently empty and deteriorating state.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Further emphasizing the ongoing decline and wasting away.
Wastin' away, wastin' away
Concluding with a final repetition of the theme of wasting away.
