Take The Breath
Discovering Clarity Amid Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Out on the road there are memories in me
Reflecting on past experiences and memories while traveling.
Each of them of their own place
Each memory has its own significance and place in the speaker's mind.
And all the changes we all learn to live with
Acknowledging the inevitability of changes that everyone learns to live with.
They turn me around every day
Changes constantly impact the speaker's perspective and life.
What's my direction, where am I going?
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's life direction.
Sometimes I lose where I've been
Occasional confusion about the path traveled.
And I'm spinning and whirling
Feeling disoriented and perplexed.
And I don't understand
Expressing a lack of understanding about current circumstances.
Chorus:
Chorus: Emphasizing moments of clarity and understanding.
Then there are times when I realize
Realizing and understanding life's challenges during clear moments.
All the fog comes clear
Clarity emerges, similar to a melody breaking through a storm.
Like a melody through a raging storm
Describing a clear moment after a deafening storm of confusion.
That was deafening
Highlighting the contrast between chaos and calmness.
All around us calm
Around the speaker, there is tranquility and peace.
There's a light that's there to see
Acknowledging the presence of a guiding light.
I drove the night all alone in the desert
Recalling a solitary journey through the night in the desert.
Dreaming about my old friends
Thinking about past friends during the journey.
And I wrote poem on that hill in Wyoming
Creating poetry on a hill in Wyoming and expressing it to the wind.
And shouted it out in the wind
Sharing thoughts and emotions with the natural surroundings.
The wind and prairie
The wind and prairie beckoning to the speaker.
Were beckoning to me
Feeling called away from the road by the natural elements.
Calling me out off that road
Emphasizing independence and lack of external control.
I'm a vessel that's sailing
Describing the speaker as a vessel sailing without constraints.
Under no one's control
Chorus: Reiterating moments of clarity and understanding.
Chorus
Continuing the theme of realizing and comprehending life's challenges.
As long as I live I need to run this way
Expressing a need to continue a particular life journey.
Now it's all right to give
Acknowledging the possibility of letting go of unnecessary fears.
These useless fears away
Encouraging a release of useless anxieties.
Oh breathe it in now
Encouraging a deep breath in and an exhale.
Just let it out
Advising not to fear taking a breath.
Don't be afraid to take that breath
Expressing love for both the countryside and some cities.
I love the country
Appreciating the diverse people met during the speaker's travels.
And some of the cities
Gratitude for those who understand and support the speaker.
I love these people I meet
Acknowledging the importance of listening and envisioning a better future.
Who come out to show me
Despite confusion, there is a shared vision among people.
They hear what I'm saying
Realizing a collective perspective amidst chaos.
And hold out a free hand to me
Acknowledging the kindness and support received.
If we're going to listen, learn to envision
Encouraging a communal effort to envision a positive future.
Things as we know they can be
Despite chaos, there is a shared way of perceiving things.
Though we're spinning and whirling
Reiterating the spinning and whirling, yet a collective vision exists.
There's a way we all see
Despite challenges, there is a shared perspective.
That now it's times to realize
Realizing the need for clarity and understanding in challenging times.
Make the fog come clear
Reiterating the idea of clearing the fog and gaining clarity.
Like a melody through a raging storm
Similar to a melody breaking through a storm, clarity emerges.
That was deafening
Contrasting chaos with calmness around the speaker.
All around us calm
Emphasizing the presence of tranquility and peace.
There's a light that's there to see
Acknowledging the guiding light in the speaker's life.
Don't be afraid to take that breath
Encouraging not to fear taking a breath, suggesting resilience.
