Let It Roll
Embracing Life's Turbulence: Let It Roll by Kim Richey
Lyrics
When I'm a breath away from going down
Expressing the proximity to a difficult or challenging situation.
A step away from losing ground
Being on the verge of losing stability or control.
And the price for love has come due
Acknowledging the cost or consequences of love.
And when I'm just barely hanging on
Holding on desperately, almost reaching a point of no return.
On the edge of too far gone
Being very close to reaching a critical or irreversible state.
And I need something to get me through
Seeking something to help cope with the challenges.
When there's no reason to believe
Expressing a lack of faith or justification.
And life ain't all, it's cracked up to be
Reflecting on the disillusionment with life's expectations.
Let it roll over me
Advocating acceptance and allowing things to happen without resistance.
When my last chance goes up in smoke
Referring to a missed opportunity or failed attempt.
And I can't see a shred of hope
Feeling devoid of optimism and unable to see a way forward.
And the tears can't wash away these blues
Describing the inability of tears to alleviate emotional pain.
And when my best shot keeps fallin' short
Acknowledging persistent failure despite putting in the best effort.
And I don't care much anymore
Indicating a diminishing level of concern or interest.
'Cause my poor heart feels used
Expressing emotional exhaustion and feeling used in love.
When love ain't all that fair
Recognizing the unfairness of love.
I sing out a simple prayer
Turning to a simple prayer as a form of solace.
Let it roll over me
Reiterating the theme of acceptance in the face of adversity.
Let it roll, let it wash away
Advocating for the release and acceptance of all things.
Let it all fall where it may
Allowing events to unfold naturally and without resistance.
Let it roll right over me
Repeating the sentiment of letting life's challenges pass over without resistance.
When there's no place left to run
Describing a situation where there's nowhere left to escape.
Yeah, if that day should ever come
Contemplating the possibility of facing a challenging day.
Let it roll over me
Reiterating the idea of letting go and allowing life to unfold.
Let it roll over me
Emphasizing the importance of acceptance and non-resistance.
