Without You
Escaping the Past: Pursuing Freedom and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
My pockets are empty cause I spent my money
Financial hardship due to spending money on poker and liquor in Atlantic City.
On poker and liquor in Atlantic City
Describing the activities leading to financial strain.
I was twenty one and on the run
Being 21 years old and attempting to escape from a challenging life.
From a life I been tryin to escape from
Expressing a desire to break free from a difficult life situation.
But we're over now
Acknowledging the end of a relationship.
I got what I wanted
Fulfillment of personal desires after the breakup.
Freedom and a life that I love
Attaining freedom and a life that is loved.
I just wanna run away got nothing left to say
Expressing a desire to escape and a lack of words to convey feelings.
Now I know what I'll do without you
Realizing what life will be like without the other person.
I know nothing comes easy but I'm the one that needs pleasing
Acknowledging that achieving satisfaction is challenging, but it's a personal necessity.
Now I know what I'll do without you
Reiterating the realization of life without the other person.
I'm walking these streets just doing my thing
Engaging in personal pursuits while the other person chases the American dream.
While you're tryin to live out the American dream
Highlighting the different paths both individuals have chosen.
You were 21 and on the run from a life you been dying to escape from
Recalling the other person's attempt to escape a challenging life at the age of 21.
But we're over now
Confirming the end of the relationship from the other person's perspective.
You got what you wanted
Attainment of desired freedom and a fulfilling life by the other person.
Freedom and a life that you love
Emphasizing the theme of freedom and a beloved life.
I just wanna run away got nothing left to say
Repeating the desire to escape and the difficulty in expressing feelings.
Now I know what I'll do without you
Reiterating the understanding of life without the other person.
I know nothing comes easy but I'm the one that needs pleasing
Acknowledging the challenges of life while expressing personal needs.
Now I know what I'll do without you
Reaffirming the recognition of life without the other person.
I'm feeling okay I don't wanna wait
Feeling fine and not wanting to wait for the other person's realization.
For you to realize what you wanna say
Expressing impatience for the other person to figure out what they want to say.
Your lookin at me while I'm running away
Being observed while running away, possibly from the relationship.
