Pieces of My Past
Shedding Shadows: Mick Kolassa's Poignant Journey Through Time
Lyrics
I’m going through my life, throwing out pieces of my past
I am currently going through my life, discarding elements from my past.
I won’t forget it all, but there’s memories I don’t want to last
While I won't completely forget my past, there are memories I wish to let go of.
I tried to live without pain and fear
I attempted to live without experiencing pain and fear.
But I’m haunted by what happened last year
However, I am haunted by events that occurred in the previous year.
So I’m trying hard to throw out pieces of my past
Consequently, I am making a concerted effort to discard certain aspects of my past.
The cards that year dealt me I’m trying to understand
I am trying to comprehend the challenges that the past year presented to me.
What did I do to deserve this kind of hand
I am questioning what actions I took to deserve the difficulties I faced.
It started out bad then it went downhill
The situation began poorly and progressively worsened.
Don’t know if I have what it takes to pay this bill
I am unsure if I possess the capability to overcome the challenges ahead.
So I’m doing what I can to throw out pieces of my past
Hence, I am doing whatever is in my power to let go of elements from my past.
I’m doing what I can to try to leave last year behind
I am actively working to distance myself from the events of the previous year.
I need to find a way to get those bad things off my mind
I need to discover a way to remove negative thoughts associated with that time.
Just when I find joy in something new I’ve found
Just as I start finding joy in new things, memories from yesterday resurface and bring me down.
Yesterday comes back and knocks me down
Yesterday's memories come back to me and have a negative impact.
So I’m working hard to throw out pieces of my past
Therefore, I am exerting considerable effort to eliminate certain aspects of my past.
I’ll keep the good things, there was so much good for me to have
I plan to keep the positive aspects of my past, as there was much goodness.
And that can keep me going, make me smile or make me laugh
These positive memories can motivate me, bring a smile, or evoke laughter.
But the bad things that kept coming my way,
However, I want to discard the negative experiences that kept recurring.
those are the things I don’t want to stay
Undesirable events are things I do not wish to retain.
So I’m throwing out some pieces of my past
Consequently, I am actively discarding certain elements from my past.
