How Many More Years
How Many More Years: A Soul's Plea for Freedom
Lyrics
How many more years?
Expressing frustration and questioning the duration of suffering or hardship.
Have I got to let you dog me around
Feeling mistreated or controlled, questioning the need to endure such treatment.
How many more years?
Repeating the inquiry about the duration of enduring a difficult situation.
Does I got to let you dog me around
Reiterating the sentiment of being subjected to mistreatment or manipulation.
I'd soon rather be dead
Expressing a strong aversion to the current circumstances, suggesting a preference for death.
Sleeping six feet in the ground
Emphasizing the desire for an escape from suffering, even if it means death and burial.
I'm gonna fall on my knees
Committing to a symbolic act of submission or supplication, seeking relief.
I'm gonna raise up my right hand
Promising to make a solemn oath or declaration, potentially for resolution or change.
I'm gonna fall on my knees
Reaffirming the commitment to a symbolic act, emphasizing sincerity.
I'm gonna raise up my right hand
Repeating the intention to make a solemn oath, expressing a desire for improvement.
Said, I'd feel much better, darlin'
Desiring emotional understanding and connection for enhanced well-being.
If you'd just only understand
Seeking empathy and comprehension from a loved one to alleviate distress.
I'm goin' upstairs
Indicating a change in location, possibly as a metaphor for personal transformation.
I'm gonna bring back down my clothes
Preparing for a departure or change, retrieving personal belongings.
I'm goin' upstairs
Reiterating the intention to undergo a transformation, emphasizing action.
I'm gonna bring back down my clothes, get them all
Ensuring the completeness of the transformation by retrieving all personal belongings.
If anybody ask about me
Leaving a message for those inquiring about the departure, stating the action taken.
Just tell 'em I walked out on
Reinforcing the decision to leave, providing a clear reason for the departure.
