Lyrics
It's a lonely road to tread
Expressing the difficulty and isolation of the personal journey.
When you're trying to stay clean
Struggling to maintain a clean and virtuous lifestyle.
I found peace and cleared my head
Finding inner peace and clarity of mind.
I found others just like me
Discovering others who share similar experiences or struggles.
When I finally get to bed
Reflecting on thoughts before bedtime and letting go of concerns.
Let it go ill let it be
Emphasizing the act of releasing and accepting things as they are.
I'm moving on
Expressing the determination to move forward and progress.
It was easier to hide
Acknowledging the ease of concealing true feelings in a religious setting.
When they dragged us to the pews
Recalling a time when religious obligations were enforced.
Put my feelings to the side
Suppressing personal emotions and enduring a difficult period.
We were numb and had the blues
Experiencing emotional numbness and melancholy.
I could never get it right
Expressing a sense of inadequacy and difficulty in finding the right path.
No one told me what to do
Feeling lost and lacking guidance from others.
I moved on
Conveying the decision to move on from past struggles.
Met my baby after school
Narrating a personal story of meeting a partner after school.
We got married in the heat
Describing a marriage that occurred during intense emotions.
And they know that I'm a fool
Acknowledging others' perceptions of being a fool and embracing it.
It's their favorite part of me
Accepting and embracing the part of oneself that others find amusing.
And we make up our own rules
Choosing to create one's own rules and define personal identity.
No one tells us who to be
Rejecting external influence on individual choices and identity.
We've moved on
Reiterating the theme of moving on and progressing in life.
If they bury me today
Contemplating acceptance of mortality and the manner of passing away.
I'm ok with how I went
Expressing contentment with one's life choices and their consequences.
I don't care what they may say
Disregarding others' opinions and choosing authenticity over pretense.
I don't need to play pretend
Rejecting the need to conform and play a role for societal expectations.
If I know that you're ok
Expressing a desire for the well-being of a significant other.
I can meet you in the end
Anticipating a reunion in the afterlife if the significant other is okay.
Just move on
Concluding with the overarching theme of moving on and progressing in life.
