Leave It Behind
Leaving the Past Behind: Kenny Roby's Journey of Renewal
Lyrics
I'm gonna leave it behind, baby
I have a determination to move forward and leave something behind, my dear.
I'm gonna leave it behind
Reiteration of the intention to leave something in the past.
It's just a thought that crossed my mind
There's a particular idea or memory that briefly came to mind.
I'm gonna leave it behind
The commitment to leaving that thought or memory behind.
I'm gonna leave it behind, baby
Repetition of the determination to leave something behind, addressing a loved one.
I'm gonna leave it behind
Reiteration of the intention to leave something in the past.
Once I cross that Virginia line
Specifying that the decision solidifies upon crossing the Virginia state line.
I'm gonna leave it behind
Emphasizing the resolution to leave something behind.
Take a breath and hold the breath
Advice to take a moment to breathe and then release it into the wind.
Then blow it in the wind
Suggesting a symbolic act of letting go.
Flash a shaky toothy grin
Describing a nervous or unsure smile to convey the current emotional state.
To explain the shape I'm in
Expressing the need to explain the current emotional state.
I'm movin' up the mountain
Moving upward in life but struggling to find a stable place to settle.
But I ain't found no place to stay
Despite progress, there is a lack of a permanent residence.
I always been ok
Reflecting on a history of being okay, even during difficult times.
Even when I ain't ok
Emphasizing resilience in coping with challenges.
I didn't leave a letter
No formal communication left behind; nothing to explain the departure.
There weren't nothing to explain
No need for a letter; there was nothing significant to clarify.
And nothin' to complain
No grievances or dissatisfaction; it's just the natural course of events.
It's just the wind and rain
Attributing changes to external forces like the wind and rain.
Some men hold and some men fold
Reflecting on different reactions to life's challenges - holding, folding, or falling in between.
And some fall in between
Highlighting the varied responses individuals have to adversity.
Some they build up steam
Some individuals gather momentum or strength in challenging times.
And some just up and leave
Noting that some people simply leave or move on without extensive explanation.
